First time Wagyu: had a skewer of A5 Wagyu in Dotonbori street, Osaka (2000 yen). It was from one of the classic stands in the street.
While the Kobe beef I had at another stand was phenomenal, the Wagyu was in my opinion… a bit underwhelming (quite chewy and not that much taste). Just wondering whether it is not my thing, or whether I got “bad” wagyu and should try another piece at another place.
As I understand the meat industry is highly regulated in Japan, so I assume they can’t state A5 if it is not. Could the cooking method be the cause? They are a dedicated stand for Wagyu so I assume they know how to cook it properly
Again, might just not be my thing but would appreciate any input on whether I should try it again. Thank you!!

Probably got sold some cheap cuts. Also, eating in dotonbori is your first mistake no offense
no one should ever buy wagyu at these stands its the biggest food scam in all of japan
Gotta use judgement here FFS. Do you expect incredible A5 from a street vendor aimed at tourists?
Bro that looks like pork.
You need to pick a good stand. Good stands have the skewers out so you can check the marbling.
