Guess what? You don’t need to go to Japan anymore in order to experience authentic Japanese Wagyu beef!
Where to go? Head to Wagyu Beef BGC along Forbes Town Road at The Fort and be blown away with every heavenly tender bite.
Forbes Town Center never ceases to amaze me. Ever evolving, surprising me with new interesting shops and delightful dining experiences that can never be found anywhere in the metro. A few weeks ago, I was blessed to experience a foodtrip like no other when I was introduced to the newly opened Wagyu Beef BGC along Forbes Town Road at The Fort.
For those who aren’t familiar with wagyu, wagyu is a premium type of Japanese beef known for its tenderness, high level of marbling and fine texture. To be classified as “wagyu” requires several criteria plus its origin has to be traceable in order to know its source.
I know I’m far from being a wagyu expert, but I can say that I have tried fairly decent ones before… However, the ones we tried over at Wagyu Beef BGC were so good, that I forgot all the rest! Seriously! With this, allow me to share with you 5 great reasons to experience Wagyu Beef BGC.
5. They offer a variety of ONLY Grade A5 Wagyu – the Highest standard of Wagyu in Japan.
Here at Wagyu Beef BGC, expect only the best wagyu possible. They even offer various types of Grade A5 Wagyu like the premium Omi, Hida, Kagoshima and Saga. As for the cuts, you may choose between rib eye, sirloin, shank, neck, top round (considered the leanest and best for Sukiyaki) plus the sought after Chateau Briand that’s considered the best part because according to Wagyu Expert Mr. Takayuki Hayano, you can only get around 4-5kgs of this per cow.
look at the marbling!!!
4. They directly transact with the Japanese government, so you know you’re eating REAL Wagyu.
Again, to be classified as “wagyu” requires several criteria plus its origin has to be traceable in order to know its source. All the wagyu meat here at Wagyu Beef BGC come with certified documents so consumers could know the history of the cow.
With this, you are assured of its highest possible quality and freshness.
3. Their prices are very competitive. You may order per gram and pick the type of cooking you prefer. They also offer lunch sets good for sharing for only P600.

They also encourage customers to buy fresh wagyu to be cooked home. The people here at Wagyu Beef BGC will even gladly teach you how to prepare it.
