Once only gracing the tables of the very rich, London diners now have many options when it comes to sampling Wagyu. These are set to expand in the next couple of years, following the establishment of a Wagyu-style farm in Yorkshire.

James Durrant, executive chef of Maze, features Wagyu on his grill menu, as one of a number of international beef options. At Maze Grill, Wagyu beef is sourced not from Japan but in Australia from an estate near Melbourne. ‘It’s extortionately expensive to buy Kobe [Japanese Wagyu] beef,’ he says. The shipments from Australia don’t come cheap, either, because of the labour-intensive farming process – but according to Durrant, it’s worth it. ‘The cattle are fed on beer, they are massaged. This gives the meat such a different, unique flavour,’ he says. ‘It’s a lot more mellow.’

Meanwhile, at Japanese restaurant Dinings, Wagyu beef is also sourced from Australia, as well as Chile. ‘We would like to get Wagyu from Japan, but it’s very restricted,’ says Nicholas Taylor-Guy, one of the restaurant’s directors. ‘There’s an imperial herd, that’s not cross-bred with other herds any more, and they won’t let it out of the country, to keep the beef pure, which I understand.’

Wagyu offerings are popular at both restaurants, albeit in different forms. At Maze Grill, simple preparation is key. ‘We charcoal it, then finish it under the broiler,’ Durrant explains. Because of the expense, diners often share Wagyu as part of their meal. ‘People tend to have one on the table and take bits,’ Durrant says. ‘They are quite intrigued by it.’

At Dinings, Wagyu is served three ways: the first is sliced thinly – tataki – and seared on the outside. It’s sold in thicker slices, too – ‘It’s cooked a little bit further, but it’s still very rare,’ Taylor-Guy explains. ‘We also sell it as sushi, two different ways: with a piece of pan-fried foie gras – it’s very decadent – or a truffle salsa on top.’

Some London restaurants have taken Wagyu off their menus, citing the expense, but both Durrant and Taylor-Guy are pleased with how successful it’s been. At Dinings, its popularity is due in part to keeping the prices relatively low. ‘We sell the chargrilled Wagyu for ￡20 a plate,’ Taylor-Guy says.

And Wagyu is set to become more accessible to British diners, when a herd in North Yorkshire reaches maturity. ‘There are some farmers starting to rear it, but it will not be ready for a couple of years yet,’ Taylor-Guy explains.
