[NSW, VIC, SA] 3x 300g (900g) A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Sirloin Steak $167 Delivered (+$0 SYD/MEL, C&C ADL) @ Osawa Enterprises

1530

$186/kg which is a great price for premium cut of A5 Wagyu from Kyushu - I get the Kagoshima maybe once a year (approx $270/kg) but this should be equivalent. Before the pandemic you would have paid at least $450/kg at a restaurant for A5 Sirloin, and now the cheapest I can find is about $600/kg (Sydney).

It's really hard to mess up cooking this, perfect as yakiniku on a charcoal grill, and it just melts in your mouth. Mine is absolutely salivating as I write this lol

Pairs great with soy-sesame or citrus-ish dipping sauce, or even wasabi and salt.

Description:
Miyazaki A5 (BMS 9-11)
Sirloin has a delicate but firm texture, a richness in flavour, and it’s ideally suited to grilling or barbecuing.

Free Delivery to Sydney, Melbourne, and Pickup only in Adelaide (Hyde Park 5034?).

Update Monday 5:53PM - Sydney back in stock, Melbourne back in stock.

    Great price! I always shop at Osawa Enterprises for yakiniku. For A5, I think 100g is enough for a good meal. Anything more than 100g, you will get sick of it due to too much fat content.

    • +3

      Yeah same, one A5 steak would be enough for 3 or 4 people to enjoy, and then add some rib fingers, ox tongue, pork neck or chicken, and salad/rice to fill up. Throw the rest of the steaks in the freezer for next time (they should be individually vacuum packed IIRC).

    • +1

      Agreed. Did a big 3 steak for Xmas once and it was way too much.

  • Does anyone know if it's the same deal for walk in to their Syd/Melb store?

    • As far as I know they don't normally sell to walk-ins (except for some Saturday warehouse sales). Better to order for pick-up/delivery

      • +4

        "All steaks are chilled, not frozen".

        • Then how can I pick it up 3 weeks later?

        • +5

          Oh sorry, please enjoy your $170 frozen steak

          There is actually nothing wrong with steaks being frozen, provided you allow it to slowly defrost in the fridge the day/night before.

          It depends on the cooking method, not the ingredient, this isn't frozen like snap frozen vegetables.

          Also, $170 is a bit big for a steak

          • @cwongtech: You can literally toss a frozen steak into a hot pan, the outside will sear and the inside will stay red and juicy. Just how I like it!

          • @cwongtech: You actually lose about 10(?)% of water weight when you slowly defrost in a fridge. I used to work at a chicken manufacturer and we ran some tests. I forget the percentage though lol

        • -6

          So basically maccers meat

          • @MrThing: MickeyDs is frozen mince patties from regular beef, no texture, different fat content, thawed and heated up quickly.

            You can use Wagyu mince for higher fat content to make patties, but if you're buying A5 steaks to put into a mincer.. I'd love to try your burger :p

      • Doesn't matter if it's AU or JP, the cow is almost at frozen temp when at cut (even at kill?) to stop growing batterias and to make it easy for cutting.

        But yes refreezing can degrade the quality (from a testing video I watched) starting to notice from 2nd time refreezing.

      • Isn't that how Australian sheep are sold overseas?

      • Maybe that’s why it’s so expensive 🤪😆

        shipped cryovac….they suck the air out of the bag so bacteria don’t grow and chill just above freezing. if you freeze steak, as the ice crystals form and the water freezes in the muscle cells the crystals piece the cell walls …. makes for tender steak as the ice crystals have shredded the cell walls but also all the juices run out, do a test at home, freeze a piece and just have one chilled,

        • Same with banana; freeze and defrost, and all fibres are gone. Frozen bananas make great — all natural! — ice-cream base though.

                @tonyjzx: For a well planned estate, an inheritance tax doesnt raise much

                Look at the UK as a prime example, I realise its gone up recently, but its gone up from a tiny base - i think the stats said in 2019 to 2020 only 4%ish paid an inheritance tax, this has gone up 41% recently, so still about 1 in 15 people

              • @tonyjzx: with the number of people with investment properties anything that impacts property is a vote loose, the rich will now ensure the poor work for them and their kids.

              • +1

                @tonyjzx: You didn't think that through; what about France, Japan, Germany, UK, US, Belgium? Inheritance vacuums middle class wealth, not upper class. The upper class plans their wealth transfer.

                @tonyjzx: Nope will come in eventually, They will have their assets structure in a way does affect them always a loophole.(Death duties were abolished in Australia in 1979 and we are one the last countries in the Western world not to have any inheritance tax.) Labour/Greens will bring it in when they are sure they can get away with it……

        True. Though according to history that's usually why things reach a point where heads start rolling and people are robbed in the streets and in their homes. We're at about the beginning of those stages right now if you watch the news.

        • hmmm i doubt it

          australians are complacent, with every state being labor they cracked down on protesting

          as long as people are still getting fed and they aint dying on the streets then its all coolio

        You think if the poor managed to get rich they will use that money to look after other random poor people? Nah they will take their new found wealth and just use it for themselves and people they actually know and like and wouldn’t lose any sleep over the remaining poor people. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the monster

          I assume he means accumulating assets such as housing. They grew up with free education and arguably a better social safety net, and healthcare. They were able to afford a lifestyle at minimum wage and buy houses. They then proceeded to vote for liberals that made all this much worse for future generation through zoning laws, poor house planning, negative gearing, privatisation of social services, charging for university. And reducing taxes for the rich as the boomers themselves progressively get richer. They now get pension while the super scheme I think is supposed to eliminate the need for that.

          Of course no one forces millennials to pay a million for a house, but people need somewhere to live so people are almost forced to buy them and the governments have done everything in their power to keep housing prices high. If they can't, they just rent them at current exorbitant rates.

          They invested not in the future and society, but themselves and continuously try to do so. Having our wealth tied to housing, an asset that doesn't really do much, is not really a good thing. Meanwhile science, research, and education funding has been dropping.

            I don't understand how this is "stolen wealth" but I assume OP has delusions of some form of socialism utopia in mind.

            • +5

              @pharcyde: Ok well put it this way, millennials are much much more productive than boomers were due to increasing technology but they're also poorer. Where has the wealth gone?

              I don't understand how this is "stolen wealth

              Buying something future generations will need and then putting measures in place that helps keep that thing almost unaffordable?

              I also understand that this is basically investing, but that's the problem, investing in housing I think stagnates the economy and doesn't really lead anywhere but drains the future generations of money. We should've been putting our money, efforts, and policies into technology and clean energy. And when labour wanted to remove negative gearing, they lost the election. Wonder who voted against that?

              We've made society arguably worse despite everyone being more productive through policies that benefit one generation and leaves the next picking up the slack through private health insurance, HECS, and super, and to ensure the boomers investments don't collapse, is that not theft?

              some form of socialism utopia in mind.

              Just keep energy, healthcare, education, water, and housing away from capitalistic hands and treating them like investments. Everything else is fair game. I couldn't care less if a share, car, Lego set, crypto currency, art work goes up in value and normal people can't afford them, that's just too bad, work harder if you want them. Food, a roof, water, and electricity shouldn't be that hard because it wasn't 40 years ago.

              • @helpme: You do know that future generations are going to inherit those assets right?

                • +1

                  @djlee: Yes, increasing generational inequality overtime. I.e. if your parents own 2 houses and you inherit one, then you don't need to worry about buying a house and probably be pushed into focusing on an investment property for yourself. So instead of say, your parents who had to buy their house and use their left over money to buy an investment, you can start straight away. I know because I'm one of them and I've told my parents multiple times I won't buy an investment property, I won't buy one unless I intend to live in it, I can afford it and happy to lose its value, and that I don't need their money. Either way, it doesn't matter who they give it to or what they do with it. The effects are the same, if not worse, unless we start disincentivising housing investment which the boomers voted for.

                  I'm gen z I think, I'm happy to lose out if it means we can get this country back on track to the place my parents immigrated to, to make below minimum wage ($10 an hour) and being able to have a stable living and having a secure place of their own, either renting or buying.

                  • @helpme: That's not increasing generational inequality. That's just exacerbating the divide between the haves and have nots. Don't worry wealth will get redistributed over time one way or another, before they cycle repeats all over again.

                    • @djlee: Sorry, you're right, it's not generational inequality but nevertheless, before the wealth transfer, the boomers are cashing in at the expense of the generations after them.

      Sort of comment I'd expect to be negged by bargain hunters that pay $167/kg for meat.

      I'm with you tony…. unfortunately bargain hunting is often sort of inverted…. folks that are desperate often aren't dedicated bargain hunters

      Big game bargain hunters seem often/ mainly to be folks that would never hunt for their own meals, but would pay if they get a bargain shooting a trophy lion or summat.

      I've tasted waygu but not sure if Japanese and it was pretty good. The fat level was crazy. Would say that you need to try it once. But wouldn't eat a whole steak.

      Just like quarter or half

    • i prefer my steak leaner and more texture …. tried marbled wagyu and flavour wasn’t as strong as lean grass fed beef, but then i also like 300 gm portion, chips, pepper sauce or mustard and good bottle of red

    • Taste and preference are always subjective. For those who prefer Jap wagyu, this is a bargain as noted by OP. If you know you know. Yes, one can't have too much A5 due to the amount of marbling/fat. Am getting my hibachi grill ready when they arrive.
