FAQ
Are you the person responsible for “The wagyu beef buying guide”? Yes, I am. I’m a long-time poster on the Wagyu board and a well-known expert in that forum. In the spring of 2015, I began to ask questions about the best way to buy Wagyu online and learned about the different cuts (aka sections) of wagyu beef.

Do you ship anywhere? No. At least not right now. We plan to expand our shipping area, so it will be soon if your country still needs to be listed as available!

For those customers outside Australia looking for a specific amount or location, we will try our best to help them find it via direct contact. Still, please bear with us as sometimes it’s difficult for us both cost-wise and because of parts availability! We will keep working on expanding things, though!

The first thing you’ll notice about Japanese Wagyu is its tenderness. This means that even though the meat has been cooked, it still has enough juiciness to give you a satisfying meal or snack.
