How to Pronounce "Wagyu"
KevinS
wag you'
wog you'
wozh you'
I'm thinking of splurging on a Wagyu flatiron steak or
bavette for New Years. They run about $16/lb.
The only Wagyu beef I've eaten was a hamburger at
nice restaurant, but I was not so impressed as I wanted
to be.

Is the correct way to say it.

If it was wagyu hamburger, it's be the same as any hamburger.... made up
of offcuts etc.
Find a good wagyu rump steak, or tenderloin. It doesn't have to be
Japanese wagyu, look for a good Aussie steak.
Don't know about 'flatiron' or 'bavette'.

A good friend would drive 30 miles at 2:00 am to bail you out of jail.
A best friend, however, would be sitting in the cell next to you saying
"Man, that was f******n Awesome!"

That is extremely cheap.

We had Wagyu carpaccio at Morimoto in New York a couple of weeks ago,
and it was incredible.

Japanese has what might be called pure vowels and many of the words lack
accents. Get out a tongue depressor. Now open your mouth and say
"ah". Go to the fireworks display. Join the crowd when they say "oo".
Add a y sound roll and you have "yoo". Now you have the vowels.
Sprinkle liberally with consonants to taste. Neither syllable is
accenting. There ya go. wahgyoo.

I can't say I know the answer but I'd certainly use the nearest
*English* vowel sound and perhaps not accent any particular vowel.
"Wahg you" sounds a little more dignified than "Wag you" :-) I can
speak some French and German but it takes me a while to get into using
the proper vowel sounds and I don't try very hard when speaking English.
