This Is Not A Brisket
This isn't a cut to experiment on. Well, it is and it isn't. It's best to do your research and know exactly what you are buying it for before you do. Otherwise, you may be disappointed with the result, especially if you were expecting something brisket-like. We sell brisket if you're after that.
Why Is Our Wagyu Best In Class?
We work with what we consider to be the best Wagyu program in the US. This program processes a small amount of steers every week (140-175) which allows them to put care into every steer. These beef navels come from a mid-sized family-owned company that puts a lot of care into each cut.
We have compared this program to others from major chains and stores, and we find that it consistently tastes better and eats better. This may be because these animals are fed for longer and at a slower phase than what you will find with other Wagyu brands. The genetics of their animals are superior as well they’re very selective with the bulls they use from Japan (Japanese Kuroge Tajima bull).
