And that's the Costco price. People rave about this Wagyu stuff (the ones who can afford it at least) but I just can't see spending the dough.

Had it in Japan many times. It's very good, but I would say the price reflects the scarcity more than the desirability. Think of it like lamb or some totally different meat rather than a form of beef.
I think it would be expensive even if it were domestically produced in quantity, because the animals are small and slow growing compared to beef cows. But it probably wouldn't be $100/lb.

There's more fat than lean in that cut. I get that fat is flavor, but there's limits to how much is desirable. All flavor and no substance is out of balance.

When I have a steak, I want some actual meat in between the marbling. [barf]

I watched a vlog of a guy in Japan who ate that there and it had like half a stick of butter on it!

Rewatched the video, it was more like an extra large pat of butter and it didn't melt all the way so... (in my defense, it has been a while since I watched the video and my memory ain't what it used to be!)
