Kobe Beef: The Most Expensive Steaks in the World

[@JapanbyFood]

Have you ever eaten Kobe beef? How was your experience?

[@Yogachara]

It's on my bucket list

[@davidli5115]

No. Miss, but I do think all the food taste alike. The only food I won't touch is India food. But I do appreciate your thoughts on Kobe beef. Even if I can afford it, thanks but no thanks. I truly appreciate all your videos. Thanks again. 😊

[@pv2639]

lamb is better

[@davidli5115]

I just can't see spending that much money for a piece of meat. I think Japanese has a problem.....2 Mangos for over $ 5000.00 U.S.D. 2 Japanese pear for $ 7000.00 USD. 2 PIECES tuna sushi for $ 10000.00 U.S.D. Get real!

[@Robert-em5ib]

@@davidli5115 ~$110 per pound for Kobe Beef isn't that bad. Everyone has their preferences... Examples: you can get a single teaspoon of Strottarga Bianco caviar for as high as $37,000. Fresh white winter truffles costing from $6,000 to $10,000 per pound. Saffron costing up to $5,000 at wholesale prices and up to $10,000 at retail prices per pound. You can pay as much as $4,500 for a whole leg of jamón ibérico ham. Madagascar vanilla costing up to $600 per pound. You can literally buy a 24k gold crusted pizza in New York for $2500 and a burger for $5000 in Vegas.... By your standards that would mean every country has a "problem". Don't be prejudiced. and let's not get started on expensive things other than food....

The pacing of this video was basically perfect. The variety of transition shots kept each scene fresh and Shizuka's no-nonsense hosting style made for a great video. Keep it up! edit: I want to add some direct praise to the editor. He did a fantastic job piecing everything together.

[@JapanbyFood]

Your comment is shared with our editor. Thank you for your kind message.

Love Kobe! It has so different atmosphere from Osaka with some foreign cultures remain (which make it more beautiful) although it takes only an hour from Osaka! And Kobe beed and a glass of red wine 😍💓Perfect💕

[@calnative4904]

Shizuka is such a wonderful hostess, her description and presentation makes you want to be there.

[@swenexXx.]

I remember the episode where you and Sonny of Best Ever Food Show ate at the same place for that mouthwatering Kobe beef steak.

[@gundamboi]

I miss Kobe so much! Thank you for helping me relive the experience again Shizuka! Kobe Beef is so delicious.

[@liorex2290]

yea i miss kobe bryant too man

[@LemifromJapan]

I'd love to be Shizuka san for a minute just to taste this Kobe beef..! 😋The whole restaurant to yourself and you deserve it..! I'm sure the chef enjoyed serving you, you are such a happy & pleasant eater!☺️✨

[@shanghaiffgg]

This is the first video I have watched in this channel. Shizuka san’s presentation and personality is great and the editing is on point! Clearly a lot of work went into this, great job. I was in Kobe with my wife only two weeks ago eating a very similar meal. One thing I noticed…. The Kobe beef was even more flavoursome when it cools down, the fat and flavours become more pronounced. My wife loved the cooked fat that they dice up and serve on rice. That tofu appetiser looked 🔥

[@JapanbyFood]

How wonderful! Glad you could enjoy such delicious dinner!

[@D2ArkaAra]

You have a fantastic smile! And I've never had Kobe beef but hope to try it some day!

[@lazyreuvin]

My wife is from Kobe so I luckily get to visit every year (pre Covid). I'm spoiled to have the opportunity to eat Kobe beef often, but it sure as heck ain't cheap. Definitely a "worth it" experience though, and literally the best beef I have ever had the honour of trying.

[@tf-ok]

How many kidneys do you have left?

[@yukokraus5528]

The beef looks delicious, but the quantity is too much. I don’t think it is healthy. More vegetables, please!

[@anjino2187]

[@edchang9521]

I had an exceptional dinning experience at Toufuya Ukai, located near the Tokyo Tower. One of the items served was wagyu beef. The dishes were fantastic. I have had A5 wagyu here in the states and it's great, expensive but worth it. We're planning to visit Kobe in the near future once Japan is open to travelers. thanks for the video.

[@nowgaku]

Yes, Ukai is one of the best dining place for sure.

[@lamourdujourr]

Super cute reactions

[@eugenejustin5314]

Can't wait to visit Kobe. Japan by food and Ms. Anderson really the face of japanese foods. Keep it up. 👍👏

[@JapanbyFood]

Thanks!

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you

[@roquejo]

Thank You.. booked this tour and ate lunch here last May 30...the ByFood course includes a half lobster and a dessert in addition from the ones shown here, but does not include the tuna appetizer.

Thank you for watching

[@victorlui5955]

Hi Shizzy. Today, Imma Kobe beef with a ice cold beer. 😊

[@LivingLife128]

only had it once and that was in 1986 when i went to Japan. we were in tokyo and a freind we were with had a sister living there. she took us to teppanyaki place . She said that that place was so exclusive that one could not just walk in or make a reservation. had to know the owner to get a seat. Were were served huge tiger prawns and Kobe beef. To this day 35 years later i still remember how the beef melted in my mouth. that meal cost use $250 a head . $250 for a meal was quite a bit of money back then . Never been back to Japan since. might go after the pandemic is over

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for sharing your story. Please visit Japan again.

[@felicitasreyes6024]

Hello Shizuka. Thank you once again for this video. I never tried wagyu beef when.I visited Japan. I would love to try it when I visit Japan again at that restsurrant where you ate.😊

[@JapanbyFood]

You should!

[@felicitasreyes6024]

@@JapanbyFood I will. Thank you Shizuka. Me and my son love watching your videos.😊

[@JJJJDDDHVG]

could u tell me where it is. i am gonna go on a trip to KOBE this may. I cannot find it on Google map.

I've been dreaming of that garlic fried rice ever since I had wagyu in Tokyo a couple of yeara ago!! What a meal!

[@thomaslavina383]

Shizzyyyyy!😍😍😍

[@godfreybala6868]

Ginza steak in Tokyo all you can eat A5 for roughly $100 so worth it

[@Joobkl]

We actually stayed in Kobe just to have the beef. Nice harbour and cool Chinatown section

[@chrisszyyy]

Hi, currently checking their different courses. May I know which course you chose?

[@khpn]

Another super video. I warn you not to watch this on an empty stomach!

[@MUTYAKO]

Good morning guys😊

[@raiderfrankdatank]

Ive been there for a fee days. Loved the meat. I wanted more Kobe beef but I was on a charter and we were limited 😓

[@JapanbyFood]

There is never enough of Kobe beef!

[@baliwalknshops1517]

Grill beef with wasabi and say souce... Very delicious. I like the restaurant looks romantic

[@dsvillalva]

You were in food heaven! Out of curiosity how much did your meal cost without the wine?

It is about 220 USD. www.byfood.com/experiences/luxurious-kobe-beef-teppanyaki-course-meal-in-kobe-315

[@haniapowalka6052]

Have you ever had hibachi oh it's so good and so much fun I would recommend it

[@JapanbyFood]

We have tried hibachi dishes before and loved it :)

[@charlesdarkable]

yes. im looking at one mixture of Japan n western infront of me

[@ianbell4816]

Other than Sushi/Sashimi there's nothing more emblematic of Japan's "distilled" approach to food. A perfect piece of artfully raised beef, cooked very simply. I am curious though... 1. You were served a selection of salt on the side. Was the beef seasoned with salt during cooking too? I saw what I presume to be black pepper used, but not salt. 2. Is Wagyu beef aged? Dry or wet aged? For how long? I am enjoying very much your content. Superb production values.😀

[@glennedwards1449]

Since no one has answered you I will take a run at it though just guessing really. 1/ no seasoning applied the chef appeared to use butter but it was probably unsalted. In other restaurant's the fat used to cook would actually be Kobe beef fat. 2/ No Kobe beef is not aged that process is to increase the flavours and textures of mostly inferior beef though not always however there is no need with Kobe. Fun fact decades ago in Bangkok there was a restaurant that got caught selling fake Kobe beef yes it is so expensive it was worthwhile to counterfeit it. To be fair this was before ageing was a thing and before Australia got into the Wagyu market.

[@Wigglebuttcorgi]

who else watches this at 2-3am and hungryyyy

[@glennedwards1449]

I think this is the exact same restaurant she went to with Sonny on his channel. 25k yen may sound like a lot it is roughly £140 however it is the worlds top steak prepared by world class chefs. It is not just in the top 1% it is the top 1% of that for the vast majority of us an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience.

[@mnmaddict37532]

One does not know what the ultimate steak should taste like until they try Kobe beef in Japan

is it the same restaurant you visited with sonny?

one thing they didnt mention. kobe beef can only be called kobe beef if it come from kobe prefecture.

0:00 Shizuka-chan's reaction is... How should I say... As she says, "it is so hot"

there are some more expensive beefs other than kobe in japan, just FYI... (and even more delicious) :)

[@LittleStar678]

Shizuka appears, I click.

[@mingjieng1426]

@Japan by Food I believe this is not the 1st time Shizzy had this type meal in this particular restaurant, right? 😏 Anyway, as this is one of the ultimate meals in the world, just for today, I will not bore everyone here with my sharing. However, for those who wish to enjoy this ultimate God-tier experience to the fullest, I would give one advice which is to bring your own set of metal or plastic chopsticks. Believe it or not, the material of the chopsticks you use for your ultimate meal actually affects the taste of the food you eat and your overall experience(this is scientifically proven with independently backed scholarly-researched papers and it is also peer-reviewed). I understand that due to the current COVID-19 global pandemic situation, restaurants would prefer disposable wooden chopsticks but trust me, using your own set of clean metal or plastic chopsticks would enhance your overall dining experience to the max! It is more environmental-friendly as well! Stay safe always everyone.

[@asdfghjjhgf]

As a Japanese, teppanyaki is a food for the rich and foreign tourists. Most ordinary Japanese have never had teppanyaki.

Except for okonomyaki places with a teppan I assume?

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

I ate a Wagyu Pork once. I was so confused, because Wagyu literally means "Japanese beef". But the chef told me it's Wagyu Pork. It was in Australia. Have anyone experienced the same thing as me?

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

restaurants will add wagyu to just about anything they can in order to overcharge you. its rather shady practice. perhaps they were trying to tout their pork as the "wagyu of pork" 🤷‍♂️

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Normally secreto iberico is known as Wagyu of Pork due to its marbled cut

[@smartbbrain]

The US had a problem when Kobe wasn't trademark protected so every farm decided to add it to their products name to trick consumers. The Japanese Wagyu equivalent of pork is generally recognized as the Spanish breed Iberico.

[@grlmgor]

Mangalica is also a highly regard pork breed.
