Definitely the best priced domestic wagyu online or in person and its just as delicious as any domestic wagyu you can get. Ive had the ribeye the strip and I bought an aged tomahawk steak. For my money, the strip is the best. Store is clean and the workers are great.

This place is great. I was at first intimidated by the fancy cuts so my first purchase was the hanger steak which was nice but not revelatory like what I got on my second visit. On this second visit for an anniversary dinner, I bought 0.44lb of the wagyu A5 NY strip and 0.71lb of the 45 day aged Washyugu (hybrid Wagyu and American cow from Oregon). These are totally worth it for a completely different steak experience than your everyday USDA Choice ribeye from Whole Foods. Even though the above weights add up to about 8oz per person for a two person dinner, the steaks are so rich and filling that we couldnt eat any of the other courses I had planned (I happened to start the dinner with just the steaks, no sides or apps). This is not a complaint but more to point out that for two people, about 0.25lb of A5 Wagyu each plus sides, an app, and a dessert will fill you up plenty, which makes Wagyu even at $130/lb much more affordable than you might have thought. So the steaks were great, and also the staff at the store are also super helpful. Also key were the YouTube videos the store has made that guide you through how to cook each type of steak. I followed them and the steaks came out perfectly.

Its really great to have an amazing Japanese butcher here in NYC. Takes me back to Japan every time I go in. You can grab a taste of the real thing here.

Japan Premium Beef is the best place for high quality beef, especially Wagyu beef.Their service was amazingly friendly, supportive and helpful. I visited here without clear idea what I should get and explain with vague description but the staff was patient to introduce pros and cons of most of meat and what they served.The beef was extremely delicious with reasonable price and I will definitely come back to try their beef tongue (reservation needed).

I do not write reviews frequently, but this place is worth my time. Hands down the best steaks youve ever eaten & purchased. I wouldnt be surprised if they supplied restaurants when they serve A5 Wagyu or Washugyu. You can get a whole pound of A5 NY Strip or Ribeye for $150/lb!!!! For the same price at a restaurant for a sliver.It is worth your time to buy from them.It has jaded my opinion of steaks ever since, I cant order a steak at a restaurant any more...

Definitely great place for Japanese wagyu. But the piece I got was overwhelmingly rich and it tasted like a mouthful of fat. I would prefer a new slice of meat rather than the pre-cut next time.

The steaks here aren’t cheap, but they’re definitely worth the price. The quality of the meat is exceptional.

Forget about the price or displays. I just entered to the shop while I was walking by. I was dubious about the price at first. But when I tried it, it totally changed my mind. Even though I ordered the cheapest part in the house for steak, it was a nice balance of fat and lean. If cooked well, the melting fat makes the steak that u never tasted at your own home.

Kobe beef is only in Japan... Fake(Checked website, as of March 2021 Kobe is no longer on list of products. Kobe beef is strictly guarded and faces stringent criteria in Japan to be labeled as such, be very skeptical of any establishments with Kobe beef as a menu or sale item.)

Though you probably need to either make 6 figures or take out a second mortgage to afford it, I find it totally worth it. Picked up 2 rib-eye steak to cook up for my wife and I for our anniversary and I can safely say we made an excellent decision in eating in this time around. Get the cast iron skillet SCORCHING hot, just put a dash of salt and pepper on the steak and cook for about a minute and a half on each side for a PERFECT rare steak. A thing of beauty really...

High quality butcher. The steaks are amazing of course. The ground pork is also standout and will make your next batch of dumplings (or anything else you use ground pork in) dramatically tastier.

The idea that I can purchase actual Wagyu meat is intoxicating. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. Sometimes you have to treat yourself.

There is a Japanese restaurant behind the butcher, which has a great atmosphere. Unlike many restaurants in NY, this one is not very densely packed. The dishes are also very nicely done. We enjoyed the salad fondue, and the sweet potato. The duck breast was a bit tough, but the desert and coffee are nice too. The price is very reasonable, and the overal dinning experience is great.

Theres a restaurant behind the butcher shop; the phone number is not publicized, but it can be obtained by knowing someone who has been or by submitting an email request through their website. Once you get in, youll be greeted with a cozy, low-key white room with gentle music playing in the background, and a menu offering delicious plates such as uni croquettes and whole roasted fish.

I cook a lot of red meat. im a modern day cave man, trapped in a females body.... I purchased an outstanding filet here and paired it with an equally impressive bone marrow. My alter ego Fred flintstone was left thoroughly satiated.

Super expensive cuts of American Washugyu and Japanese Wagyu beef. Ive had the boneless American Washugyu Rib Eye twice. Its worth every penny. The ground beef at around $10 a pound makes for nice grilled burgers.

Easy to miss this little spot on Great Jones. So glad I found it. Real Tajima Wagyu from Japan is the reason to shop here. They also carry domestic Washugyu but to repeat myself the Japanese Wagyu is the reason to shop here. Steep price even for New York but you gotta pay to play. This is the real deal. The stuff you get in Japan for a hefty sum. Melts in your mouth. Best piece of meat anywhere in this city.

$50 per steak is the cheapest steak in this place. For that price, you would think they could at least make the display less foggy
