London’s Best Japanese Restaurant?! | Sorted Food

[@kirohaas3193]

That Wagyu scene. I have never seen five people have a shared and simultaneous foodgasm like that.

[@SortedFood]

We all needed a moment!

[@furrantee]

@@SortedFood Ben looked like he needed a moment and James....ah James.... the Gotcha Pork Roast tasting scene from Shokugeki no Soma came to mind.

[@andreasltveit8580]

If you hav enever had Wagy beef of any sort or Angus beef.. It is highly recomended as a burger! I love Wagyu beef burger.. And not that expansive. Get two patties for 7€(in spain) So it's not that expensive either and you kinda just need one burger... 2 is just OMG cant walk... hahaha. Also Black Wagyu is soo good. But the thing with the wagy burger. Yes it shrinks in size but it does get taller in the pan you see it just build up the melted fat insaid... ANd OMG... THAT IS A REAL ORGASM!!!

[@notwillchoi]

Andreas Løtveit Wagyu burgers don’t really make sense cause(if u were to go out of your way to grind your own meat for the patty), you’d be able to control the fat to meat ratio anyways. But if it works for you, I guess it works

[@Khazandar]

@@andreasltveit8580 Grinding up Wagyu makes zero sense, to me. You can get a meat grinder and make your own burgers with your own ratio. And save money.

It’s just ripped from hundreds of other videos. Hardly original

[@SabertoothDeathmouse]

@@unbelievablescenes At what point did the comment convey originality? You don't have to be innovative to do well at a craft. World class symphony musicians in large part do not play original music, they play classical music. That in no way takes from their talent. Judging from your comment though, I hope you are only proud of things you have accomplished in original ways. I would hate to think that you pair hipocracy with elitism.

Moxie Beast I have been craving sushi for the last few months and this didn’t help I wish the restaurants in my city were open so I could at least order some I food cravings are what is driving me crazy in quarantine my grandfather and I are both at vary high risk if ether of us gets sick so I only leave the house to go to the store. Wish I could just swing by the local sushi place to pick something up but their not even open. Now that I know I can’t get my favorite foods I’m suddenly craving them more often then I ever have before.

[@coloradoduck32]

Love when you guys highlight different restaurants and food.

[@isiholliday3051]

Been living in japan 1.5 years (from the UK) and soooo excited to see how this series goes 😄 I am with Barry when he said “let’s go try some Japanese food now” as the restaurant they first went to (though I understand was fusion) the only part which to me was Japanese was the sake, as Japanese avoid spicy food typically and other items were more Korean or various other Asian style. Saying that the food did look delicious and that’s the main part of food 😊 Last thing I will add, lots of Japan isn’t scared of fusion food and embrace it. Ramen was from China, Salmon came from Norway, and more have become quintessential parts of Japanese diet (肉じゃが Nikkujaga is basically stovies 😂) . 頑張ってください(good luck)

[@madskrogriis64]
