I believe the carnivores on duty guessed the topic of today’s text just by reading the title above. It is beef wagyu, which has beautiful marbling, high percentage of fat, high cost and some curiosities.
“Deliciously golden and almost crispy on the outside, pink on the inside and overflowing with juice.” So Jeffrey Steingarten, in his great book “The Man Who Ate Everything”O”classifies a steak from wagyu who ate in Osaka, Japan.
And he goes on to say that it was the best meat he had ever eaten because “It is as tender and as fine in texture as the best filet mignon, endowed with the succulence of rib meat and the flavor of cheaper cuts, but with a sweeter and more delicate character”.
After literally drooling reading the above excerpts one of these days, the idea of writing this text came up to bring here indications on where to eat this delicious meat in capital of paulista.
Before that, however, it is important to know that the wagyu is classified by several parameters such as color and fat quality, meat quality and marbling, with the famous A5 marbling 12 being the crème de la crème for carnivores like me.
In addition, there are several curiosities, such as that there are Japanese producers who treat the animals of this breed with curious and noble care, such as ambient classical music, massage, heating and even beer.
Finally, meat is noble and deserves to be tasted, also because there are a lot of serious people producing it. wagyu in national territory (in addition to meats that are imported from the land of the rising sun). I hope you like the directions and that you enjoy every ounce of this valuable meat.
