Snake River Farms American Wagyu Beef Jerky, 10 Ounce

Great jerky. Soft and flavorful. I bought my friend 50 different jerky’s for their 50th bday and this was one of the favs. Also purchased some for my dad’s bday and he loved it too! Yes it’s pricey but any good jerky is.

This is hands down the best beef jerky I’ve ever had. The American Wagyu really makes a world of difference, resulting in a rich and tender jerky. The flavor marinade is also superb. It can best be described as a sweet teriyaki, with a slight spicy kick. It’s really well done.Unfortunately, the jerky does have a flaw. While some pieces are out of this world, others are just average jerky at best. The sub-par pieces are very noticeably tough and dry. For the premium price and wagyu name, I’d expect that the quality be consistent for every piece.I was going to rate this three stars because of the inconsistency, but those good pieces are just so amazing that I gave it an additional star. It’s that good. Give it a try.

Pricey, but high quality with a good taste and a low carb count.

Best beef jerky I’ve ever tried. It’s easy to chew and very flavorful.

This jerky I found to be just ok. Not bad, not great. Certainly, have had better. The texture was a little odd to me. The flavor is ok.

Product: Snake River Farms (SRF) American Wagyu Beef JerkyRating: 4.5/5 (excellent)Im a bit of a jerky addict, and ive been slowly searching for the holy grail of jerkys . . . Chewy, but neither falling apart tender nor tough as a truck tire. Salty, but not to excess. Flavored, but not tiriningly overpowered. Sweet, but only just enough to properly balance the savor. And just enough smoke to accentuate without reeking of liquid smoke extract. And last, but not least, and by far the hardest to avhieve, is just the right amount of intramuscular FAT (aka marbling) to add some richness, extra tenderness, and premium beef flavor.In its oldest and most original forms, only the leanest and toughest cuts are normally used for jerky, because fatty cuts tends to go prematurely rancid, and are also best enjoyed with quick or minimal cooking. THAT is why wagyu excels here ... because it is a breed that produces above average marbling.$2-3/oz is not exactly cheap, and lands firmly into the midrange prices of premium jerkys ... but the fact that this is wagyu adds a whole new layer of bang-for-the buck value.Seriously, I got more enjoyment from just 1 bag of SRF AWBF than I did from 4 equal sized bags of Jack Links, Brinkmans, Cattlemans, or whatever.TOTALLY WORTH IT, IF IT FITS YOUR PRICE RANGE.

Like many others, I discovered this at COSTCO, and had I known it was only for a limited time (at about $17), I would have bought 20 bags. It's seriously overpriced at $30+, but I guess it's one of those things, "If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it." I could never say that about a car, boat or house, but I can afford this little luxury, and it is well worth it.I didn't like the other jerkies sold at COSTCO, but I was in a particularly good mood one day and decided to splurge on these. IMMEDIATELY, at first bite, I was addicted. It's soft and tender, has a moisture content that makes its own juices in your mouth (with a hint of soy sauce), and it tastes like a genuine STEAK. Seriously. This is the chewing gum us meat lovers fantasized about as kids... BBQ STEAK FLAVOR. It literally tastes like a juicy medium steak where the fatty ends got a little bit burnt black, and you bite into that part and get a nice, tender piece of steak with those juicy charred fatty bits oozing their goodness, the perfect amount of salt and pepper seasoning to make your eyes roll back in your head. Oh, goodness! Sorry, Mr. Gray, this is far better than anything your 50 Shades could deliver.So is it worth the price? Is a fine 50-year-old scotch worth it? It's not the kind of thing you chomp away at the whole bag in a day or two. SAVOR every piece. No bits tossed to the dog. Or even the kids. Let them earn their own money and buy their own bag! If you want to treat yourself, get a bag and keep it hidden.If you want some mass chomping, go with the Sasquatch/Bigfoot brand. This is for special occasions.

My son loves this jerky for school snacks and on trips. The jerky doesn't leave fingers greasy or dirty which helps when a 14 year old is inhaling food left, right and center. It is NOT to salty and has a great flavour. Pieces are just the right thickness and are easy to bite even with braces.
