Thats actually pretty cheap compared to "real" Wagyu, Which you're looking at something like $150+ per pound.
Thats American Wagyu, which is a cross between Japanese Wagyu and typical American cattle.
Theres a lot of controversy on the terms "Kobe" and "Wagyu", and they get thrown around to make the suggestion of quality on a given product, which isn't always the case.
Now, if you source some Japanese Wagyu from the Miyazaki region of Japan, thats something to write home about. But thats also somewhere around $300/lb.
Also, I'm not questioning the quality of the steak that
