What Is Wagyu Brisket?
Wagyu brisket is cut from the breast and lower chest of the animal. It is a high-collagen cut that rewards slow cooking — smoking, braising, and low-and-slow BBQ methods unlock its deep, rich flavour and gelatinous texture. At A4 and A5 grades, the intramuscular fat transforms what is typically a tough working muscle into one of the most sought-after BBQ cuts in premium markets.
Brisket is one of the most price-accessible wagyu cuts for importers, making it an excellent entry point for buyers building a full wagyu range — particularly in the US BBQ segment and Middle East hotel market.
