A National Living Treasure: The History of Wagyu

from Eat My Globe · host Simon Majumdar

On this episode of Eat My Globe our host, Simon Majumdar, talks about one of his favorite subjects: Wagyu. He will discuss its origins; its development in Japan in the 17th century when very few people in the country ate meat at all; how it became a national treasure by the 19th century; the many styles of wagyu; the creation of wagyu-crossbreeds; its spread and popularity around the world; various wagyu recipes; and so much more. It is indeed a beefy subject.
