Why Matsusaka Wagyu Is The Most Expensive Beef In The World | So Expensive

Grown exclusively in the Mie prefecture in Japan, Matsusaka cattle are raised so their fat achieves the lowest melting point possible. The finest cuts of Matsusaka wagyu have a melting point of 12 degrees Celsius, 8 degrees less than Kobe. These cows are so valuable that in 2002 one fetched 50 million yen, over $330,000, at auction. These high prices are not about just how the cows live, but how long. In the quest for the ultimate marbling, farmers in Matsusaka are gambling with fate as they try to extend cows' lives above their average lifespans, at the risk of killing them prematurely. So, is it worth raising cattle for too long? And why is Matsusaka wagyu so expensive?

    most definitely a marketing tactic. still living here after 6 years. Might seem weird at first, but if you think about the larger picture and how the farming industry works in Japan, saying "this is " is basically saying, "were inferior to the local variety, and we need to make this distinction very apparent." the same is true for pork, Japan prides itself on its black pigs, but most of the pork ive seen on market shelves are from Canada. even with the japanese branding of SanGenTon, this imported canadian pork is heaps cheaper than the locally raised ones.

    Iirc it's also that Japanese beef, wagyu, is very different from beef like Angus, and they are good for different things. For example, wagyu is great when thinly sliced, or otherwise cut into small pieces and seared, but it does not work very well if you want to eat something like a thick steak, filet, or burgers. And so, Japan imports a lot of regular beef to cover the demand for that

    Indeed. The way I see it is marketing that promoted Kobe outside of Japan. Matsusaka beef did not really need to market itself within Japan as it was and still is the best beef in Japan. Kobe turned their eyes to the world when beef export was made possible in the late 80s. Matsusaka never bothered. I guess this is the main reason Kobe is more well known overseas. Also the term Kobe was short enough for westerners to remember, and the Kobe quake that made the headlines in those days may have helped to make the name stick. And sure enough, the fame of the late Kobe Bryant might have helped as well.

There is another type called Yonezawa which has a bit more beefy flavor and is a little nicer in my opinion. But again...the difference is very subtle. I think for me I was expecting the most amazing "beef flavor" ever but it's not like that. Those are the wrong expectations to have.

    Actually, wagyu is eaten all the time in Japan, but premium ones like matsusaka are indeed rarely consumed outside of the region/high end restaurants. Matsuaka beef is about fat, whereas other countries tend to prize the flavor of the red meat. They are almost completely different products, and hard to say that Japan has the best "beef", in my (Japanese) opinion.

Follow the above steps & you'll have yourselves an expensive product. Good luck! Will be seeing you in the millionaires club 😎😎

    I think what a lot of westerners get wrong about this beef is they approach it from a western perspective of a big slab of meat on a plate. So if they don't get it in a Japanese restaurant but buy it in a store and take it home and make a steak out of it and then think it's gross because it's too fatty, then they think it's over rated. Plus I think westerners are expecting the ultimate "beef flavor" when they eat it. I know I was, and the first time I had it I was a bit disappointed. Like the first time you have an expensive Japanese strawberry or tomato it's just bursting with the very essence of that flavor you know. It's not like that with the beef. It's more like eating butter with a subtle beef flavor. But it's that melty buttery texture that IS the point more than the beef flavor itself. It's more of a mind reset to not view it as a steak. It's its own thing.

    This is probably answered somewhere in the comments (or in the video and I didn't notice it), but given 12C is about the temperature of a chilly autumn afternoon, and the fat melts at that temperature, does that mean if you leave these cows in even slightly warm conditions.... disaster will ensue? :O Or is it something that happens to the meat after slaughtering, that leads to this low melting point?
