This A5 Wagyu Fat Candle Is An Activated Sight To Behold

“As the candle melts and drips in to the vinegar you dip your bread into the vinegar fat mixture.”

Such a quote comes off with Confucius-level authority and matter-of-factness. The genius lies in the directness and the act itself. Because how else would you treat a burning candle made of Japanese A5 wagyu fat?

But then again, when have we ever come across a candle made purely of such decadent and fatty goodness?

Chefs Steve Brown and Nate Horton are the big brains behind this appetizer innovation, which is a part of their 12-course, curated wagyu tasting menu called Swagyu Study Hall. The purpose of the dining experience is to serve as a “curriculum” to an “in-depth wagyu education experience.”

Looking to get wagyu woke? Then learning at Swagyu Study Hall sounds like some ideal higher education.
