Something that looked really good was some wagyu nigiri, but I don't have a torch, and is 30 seconds really long enough? I generally like med-rare, but 30 seconds seems to simply melt a bit of that marbling.
Was thinking this could be an unusual gift for the missus, that I get to sample myself as well.  |
Some people absolutely love it but I honestly think the marbling it is too rich for my taste and I did not enjoy it either time I tried it. I think it is best served in small bits, like thin slices cooked on a Japanese hibachi or some type of flattop rather than a thick steak cooked on a grill.
