I would assume this would have been better had it not been so warm.
One cut, three countries, cooked the same way. A 5 oz A5 tenderloin from Kagoshima, Japan, where the cattle are fullblood Japanese Black and the prefecture took the overall title at the 2017 and 2022 Wagyu Olympics. A 6 oz filet from Margaret River in Western Australia, a Tajima-bloodline cross that grazes to 18 months and then eats grain for 300 days. A 6 oz filet from Mishima Reserve, American Wagyu from fullblood Kuroge Washu bulls over Angus-cross cows, long-fed 25 to 28 months.
Same pan, same salt. Taste them in order, America, then Australia, then Japan, and the only thing that changes is the beef. Serves 2 as dinner or 3 to 4 as a tasting course.

This is my 4th order with crowd cow, the steak has always been great, except this time the order wasn't even delivered to me. Please be aware if your order is delivered with AxleHire. They lost my $200 order and refused to offer any refund. Instead they asked me to reach out to crowd cow, and said "this has always been the way". I wonder how many orders they have lost so far. I'm still waiting for crowd cow to respond to my request. This is utterly a frustrating experience.

Wasn't cold enough to feel comfortable eating.

No marbling at all. Looked and tasted like supermarket select... Disappointed to say the least.
A comparison only works when one thing changes. We held the cut, the pan and the salt constant and let genetics, feed and grading do the talking. These are the three Wagyu programs we trust most from each country: Kagoshima for A5 at the top of Japan's scale, Margaret River for Australia's Tajima-bloodline cross, and Mishima Reserve for American Wagyu long-fed past the industry standard. Put them side by side and you will taste why each one costs what it does.
