{"product_id":"wagyu-cheek-meat-reserve","title":"Wagyu Reserve Cheek Meat","description":"\u003cp\u003eEach 1–1.5 lb pack of Wagyu cheek meat provides a versatile canvas for slow-cooking mastery. This underutilized cut shines in braises, stews, and low-temperature preparations where its abundant intramuscular fat and collagen render into silky, gelatinous richness. The result is deeply savory meat with exceptional mouthfeel and natural body in accompanying sauces. High in umami compounds and marbling, cheek meat rivals premium cuts in flavor complexity while offering superior economics. Ideal for chefs seeking authentic depth and tenderness through patient cooking techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Reserve Means\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReserve is limited to carcasses measuring 40% DMp or higher on the MIJ camera.
