Wagyu is a type of premium beef originally from Japan, known for its unique marbling, tender texture, and rich flavor. The fat in Wagyu is distributed in a way that creates a marble-like appearance, making the meat exceptionally tender and giving it a distinctive aroma. In Malaysia, especially in cities like Ipoh, Wagyu has gained popularity among food enthusiasts. Some high-end beef shops and restaurants now offer Wagyu to meet the demand for top-quality beef.

In Ipoh, Wagyu stores often import high-quality Wagyu from Japan or Australia, and some even offer different grading options, such as A5 grade, allowing customers to experience the very best in premium beef.
