Is The A5 Japanese Wagyu At Costco The Real Thing?
BY Amanda Berrill
In an era where many deals seem too good to be true, you may be skeptical about Costco selling a prized cut of meat: A5 Japanese Wagyu New York strip steaks.
Costco sells the strip steaks for just over $125 per pound and three pounds of A5 Ribeyes for $469.99. While the price seems steep, they are actually an incredibly good deal.
While the USDA has only three levels of beef grading, Japan's A5 grade is the highest out of the entire 12 levels of grading, making it a truly stellar and exceptional cut of beef.
