How Much Does Wagyu Cost in the Philippines? (2026 Price Guide)
"How much is wagyu in the Philippines?" is one of the most-searched steak questions here — and most answers are buried in product pages or TikToks. Here's a clear 2026 guide.
The short answer
Wagyu spans a huge range. Affordable wagyu-style cubes start under ₱700 a pack; authentic Japanese A5 ribeye can run several thousand pesos for a single steak. What you pay depends on the type, the grade, and how it was raised.
The tiers, roughly
- Wagyu-style / Saikoro cubes: the entry point. Our Saikoro Wagyu is ₱689 for 500g and ₱1,339 for 1kg — quick-searing, tender, and the easiest way to try wagyu at home.
- Meltique (tallow-infused): wagyu-like richness for around ₱1,449–₱1,499 a pack — a budget-friendly middle ground.
- Premium Japanese A5: the splurge. Sold by specialty importers, often several thousand pesos for one steak, priced by marbling score (BMS).
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.
