Looking for updated Wagyu/Kobe Beef info in GTA!

[eltonkk]

Hello,

Due to a co-worker also wanting the x'mas seasons off, my trip to Japan this year has to be postpone to next July and man do I miss my Kobe beefs.

So I started doing some research and was so surprised that I never found out about Harbour Sixty and Jacobs & Co. serving Wagyu Beef. Jacobs price seems low to me: Kobe Classic Beef Wagyu - Alberta, Canada, Aged 52 days, Hanging Tender 9oz $41. The Harbour Sixty price of $20/oz seems like it's the real thing.

I'm looking for updated places that either sell raw Wagyu/Kobe Beef and or steakhouse that serves them as well.

ebutchers.ca is closed, so whatever they sold, I have no clue now.

Also, if anyone has personal experience, it'll be much appreciated.

Bruno's has Wagyu beef. I don't think Kobe beef ever leaves Japan, just too precious. I asked about it at the Richmond Hill store (but I know the Avenue Road one has it too) during Thanksgiving when I picked up a Prime Rib Roast. He said they sell it for about $75/lb. So that's less than $5/oz. Jacobs does seem on the low side, but Hanging Tender may be a lower price as it isn't the best cut of meat, plus they probably get a better price than what we can at the butcher.

Really? Hmm, I've never seen them, I'm too attached to their sashimi side. I'm heading their this Saturday for some live uni, will check it out. Thx.
