$49 for for 10 ounces AND IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD!
I hate to be that guy but they're either selling it for a tremendous loss or they're lying about it being real Japanese wagyu/Kobe. Most likely the latter since nearly all beef advertised as Kobe in the United States is not actually the real deal.
This is from 2016 but there are only about 9 to 10 restaurants selling certified Kobe beef in the United States. When in doubt ask to see the paperwork on it, they are required by the producer to have this handy to remain certified.
It's a common food myth that they use to dupe the public, another famous one is 'sashimi-' or 'sushi-grade' fish. No such thing.
Oh, and never, never, never get truffle oil, it's made with the same stuff they use in formaldehyde.

Second thought...
Looking online because I'm considering buying some Waygu steaks....
Amazon was 15 dollars an ounce and to buy the Australian and American is $210 for 2 8 ounce steaks. For 4 Kobe $505.00 steaks. Nebraska Star is $126.96 free delivery of 2 14 ounce steaks...
So after reading your link I'm more inclined to go with your observations. At this restaurant I went to they brought the steak out to myself and my sister. You could see the Fat marblilization of the meat. So we picked which ones we wanted.
For what it's worth. I chose medium and swear to god it had so much flavor and melted in my mouth.
Dannit I'm caving in looking at Amazon for Waygu and Kobe....
(((Clicks))).... and blows $600.00 GOSH DAMNIT SEEKER!!!!π

Ok, you winπ
Like I said, I'm inclined to believe you and seeing you link puts in stone writing. ππ(edit: meaning I see you are correct)
Just ordered some through Amazon. It was expensive. Hope it's legit being it was ordered online.

I hope it was Baja Blast, itβs pairs nicely with high quality beef, thatβs why they have it at Taco Bell.

Ordering food thru Amazon is risky as far as returns go Burgh. Just letting you know.
I know exactly what's in Taco Bell beef because.. I.. oh Jesus, am I really going to admit this? I.. go there all the time! No, I work there part-time. It's the one by the mall and the airport though, okay, and it isn't corporate, it's franchise
