The price tiers at a glance (per pack / per kg)

• Saikoro / wagyu-style cubes, 500g: ₱689–₱780 across PH sellers. Ours is ₱689 (Foodlabo) and ₱769 (NK Foods).
• Saikoro / wagyu-style cubes, 1kg: the market anchor is ₱1,399–₱1,499; ours is ₱1,299 (Foodlabo) and ₱1,499 (NK Foods).
• Meltique (tallow-infused) ribeye: ₱1,499 per pack from us; groceries charge up to ~₱2,800 per kilo for the same style.
• Premium Japanese A5 ribeye: roughly ₱8,000+ per kilo from specialty importers, priced by marbling score (BMS), several thousand pesos for one steak.

Why the gap is so wide

True Japanese A5 is raised and graded under strict standards, imported, and intensely marbled, all of which add cost. Saikoro and Meltique deliver much of the buttery experience using cube-cutting and tallow infusion, which is why they're a fraction of the price.

How to eat wagyu without overspending

• Start with a 500g Saikoro pack to taste the style before committing.
• Choose Meltique when you want richness for a treat night.
• Cook gently and let the fat do the work: wagyu needs less heat-time than lean beef.
• Buy with no minimum order, so you're not forced into a big cart.
