Health: Japanese scientists work up an appetite for lab-grown Wagyu beef – Gulf Digital News
TOKYO: Japan's famed Wagyu beef, a delicacy that can cost more than $200 a pound at some top restaurants, could become much more affordable in the form of a lab-grown replica.
Japanese scientists say they have succeeded in recreating Wagyu, renowned for its fat marbling, in a laboratory to produce something that could eventually look and taste like the real steak.
Wagyu beef comes from a breed of black cattle, most famously cultivated in the Kobe area of Western Japan.
