Are you referring to American/Australian wagyu as "wagyu" ? Did you get it at a restaurant or make it yourself?
I find that American/Australian wagyu is not like Japanese wagyu, but it is still extremely good - it's just a really really good 'regular' steak. It's going to be beefier than a Japanese wagyu with less marbling.
I'd be really surprised to hear that you can't tell the difference between a 'regular' steak and Japanese A5 though. They're really, really different - the marbling is extreme by comparison.
- tptacek 5y agoI'm saying the opposite thing. I've had A5. A5, I get. A5 is very good. But you don't eat a whole ribeye of A5. "A5" gets my attention in a good way. "Wagyu" gets my attention in a bad way. But I might be nuts!
- staticassertion 5y agoOh gotcha, yeah I don't really know. I've only ever prepared it myself and I've only eaten A4 (once) or A5. Wagyu is definitely broader and therefor a more abusable term, but I haven't had issues since I order it directly and prepare it personally. I do, however, definitely eat whole ribeyes of A5 lol
