Wagyu is a type of beef from Japan, where cows are treated like royalty. We’re talking massages, special diets, and even classical music to keep them relaxed! What makes wagyu so special is the incredible marbling – those delicate streaks of fat running through the meat – which gives it that unparalleled melt-in-your-mouth texture and juicy flavor.
It is the ultimate treat for carnivores, and there are only a handful of restaurants in Makati that serve this highly-prized cut of beef. Along Chino Roces Avenue, a steak house is proving itself to be a cut above the rest–Wagyu Manila. We stopped by to see what all the buzz is about, and its offerings live up to the hype it has generated.

You know what they say about Wagyu? “Once tasted, never forgotten.”
Its offerings range from the rare Olive and Matsusaka Wagyu to A5 cuts. These are the good stuff. Starting at Php 19/gram, the Wagyu A5 melts in your mouth with buttery goodness, while Matsusaka Wagyu (starts at Php 30/gram boasts a unique flavor profile, thanks to its marbled fatty meat which is much finer and tastes sweeter compared to other Japanese beef.

Wagyu purists can’t also go wrong with a serving of its Chef Specials–premium Japanese beef grilled to perfection to balance out the buttery, marbleized meat.
Aside from choice cow cuts, Wagyu Manila also serves premium pork, sausages, chicken and seafood.
