Famu

The go-​to place for high quality Australian/​Japanese wagyu and Berkshire pork for shabu shabu. Price is high but you get what you pay for.

Had lunch at Shiso Tree the other day, and figured that if I was in the area, I might as well stop by the market and see if there was anything interesting. Ended up walking past Famu’s prepared foods section, and noticed that there was a tiny box of beef tataki for $ 3.80. I bought it. Inside, there were six thin slices of rare beef, served with a tangy soy sauce, more tangy than salty.
It was the best beef tataki I’ve ever had. It could have done with a touch more salt though. I was concerned that it might be chewy, because I’ve had a number of experiences where the cut of beef used for the tataki had tough connective tissue that made for some less-​than-​fun chewing, but this beef tataki was incredibly tender and if I see more of it next time, I will most definitely buy it again. Pretty sure it wasn’t wagyu, because that special kind of marbling was absent, but it was delicious nonetheless.

You can find Best Beef in the city!
They also have real Wagyu Beef from Japan!

Have been ordering meats from Famu for at least 5, 6 years. Found in J-​Town, it’s a Japanese butcher (probably the only one found in the city); both owners are very familiar with meats and are always available to answer any questions that you might have. It’s also extremely clean!
You can find a number of meats in different forms; we always purchase ground chicken, pork, and beef as it’s always fresh. I would also recommend their prepared stuff. I always have a pack of the premade hamburgers in the freezer as it comes in handy on the nights that you don’t want to cook. Additionally, their take away lunch sets are pretty good as well. For a reasonable price, you can have a chicken katsu or curry rice meal.
Good for: meats, premade meals

My favourite place to buy meat!
Berkshire pork is to die for, I can’t find any pork better than that here.
PEI ribeye is also my other favourite, price is very reasonable and tasty.

We picked up Japanese Wagyu ($ 33/​100g) for some good home style teppanaki. :D We used our electric griddle to cook the beef, seasoned with Fleur de Sel and freshly cracked pepper alongside slices of zucchin, shimeji mushrooms, onions and garlic. We also prepared a Korean style Ssam (lettuce wrap) to enjoy with some steamed rice.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Wagyu experience and the electric griddle was great for a table top cooking for two. :) We also saw that Famu carries packaged Iberico slices which we’ll pick up next time we’re there. Will definitely be back.

Love getting wagyu/​grass fed from here with friends for our epic steak nights.
The people who work there love meat and it shows.

At Famu, aside from the excellent cut of beef, organic chicken, pork…
You will find marinated ready to cook food in the fridge…
And make sure you check out the freezer. you will find frozen foie gras from France and Quebec.
What’s for dinner?

Ah well an authentic Japanese butcher! They carry a whole range of Japanese cuts of meats and a lot of organic meats including organic burgers, sausages etc.
Some of the biggest selection of Wagyu I have seen in the city with best marbling I have witnessed compared to other stores that sell this stuff. In addition to Aussie and US Wagyu they sometimes even have Wagyu from Japan. Prices are in line with other places selling this quality of meat.
I would just like to frame the tray of Wagyu for shabu shabu in my place if I could.
Good service and one can place a bigger order which comes neatly packed Japanese style in individual wraps for each serving.
Interestingly their Non Wagyu meats are quite good too and have higher than normal marbling one finds at other butchers. Some cooked items like Tataki, croquets are also available for purchase. One can spend a lot of money real fast here.

Famu is a small store but packs a big punch. All their meats are organic and of the best quality. For a pork lover like myself, Famu helps you sleep with less guilt after eating 1kg of pork belly. The service is cheery and it’s worth to trip to J Town.
