Push it toward kokumi
This dish hits multiple kokumi axes well. Refine technique (longer extraction, browner Maillard) before adding more ingredients.

KOKUMI · scientist
Wagyu Carpaccio is a textbook free glutamate × guanylate pairing — the multiplier reaches 30× in optimal ratios. If you're an Umami Hunter, your palate consistently rewards this combination.
