Master Guga…what a pleasure to work with you again! I can’t wait to bring you more wasabi so you can try with some other special things… 😉 😉 coming soon! Good afternoon meu amigo…!
I would still like to see you dry age a steak in miso paste. I think miso paste may have all the perfect ingredients for a properly dry-aged steak: the umami, a protective bacteria layer, a lack of sweetness, and a paste-like texture that's spreadable.
maybe also do a comparison with korean bean paste aka doenjang along with miso. So to too what the differences is. But of course miso has a ton of different kinds.
@@XenonKirito yah doenjang too but it's like same as miso basically. difference would be small unless one product is much higher quality than other. ofc interesting episode though ^_^ I'm confident doenjang ♡
In Japan, wasabi was originally used for its antibacterial properties. Before refrigerators came along, it was essential in preserving fish, and also popularly used in medicine as a digestive and antiseptic. It was only by the Edo period [1603 to 1868] that it became an ingredient in food. This was an amazing video guga!
@@kusukacolaylowlee1611 naturally, i don’t think so. From what i learn it kinda a bitchy plant to grow, they need to be on riverside/constantly flowing water that has certain both water and air temperature. For some reason japan is the only country that has those properties. CMIIW.
@Jake The Dog Your comment doesnt make sense, why did u call an Asian man "covid people", thats racist? Also he doesnt have to let someone stay at his house, especially for a month
@@mugensekai it’s not actually the fish losing freshness. The fish isn’t fresh to begin with. It’s frozen for a certain amount of time. Fresh isn’t a good idea with sushi. Also it’s to preserve the temp it was made at. The fish at a certain temp and the rice at a certain temp. I’m minutes the experience will be different
I’ve seen so many videos of people reacting to eating spoonful of fake wasabi and gimmicky things like that, but Guga never disappoints. He knew to pay proper respect to the _real_ wasabi by inviting a sushi master chef so it’s done properly! Hats off to Guga and sushi master Hiro-san!!
To be fair, the distinct strong flavor of real wasabi comes from a chemical reaction that occurs when you grind it. This chemical reaction dies down after a while though.. which is also why, when he applied the paste, the smell wasn't as strong anymore. This is also why wasabi has poor shelf life. You basically have to grind it right before consumption for maximum effect. So the easiest way to know whether you're dealing with real or fake wasabi is super simple: is it a stem you have to grind yourself? -> real does it come in any type of pot, tube or can? -> fake Because of this I also wonder how much the 'wasabi-ness' of the real wasabi had an effect on the dry-aging.. because roughly an hour after grinding all of the wasabi 'flavor' is gone from the paste.
@@ayporos is there gastronomy or other science to back that up, and not just the million fold world of culinary folklore things? Because it seems odd to me that entire terpenes EVAPORATE off the surface of the substance and leave it a different compound?
@@cindersofcreation rally? fresh wasabi hits your nose/sense of smell harder than it hits your tastebuds.. to me it makes perfect sense that when it stops offgassing the 'taste' disappears. :)
@@cindersofcreation no that's a hundred percent real. But you're right. The "spice" dies down with heat and time. But the "flavor" is there, which is the reason why I think it wasn't unpleasant and actually enhanced it.
Another amazing video Guga. I've actually grown wasabi, and there is no comparison to the fake powdered stuff. Pro-tip... Don't confuse your Quip toothbrush with the Manscaped gear. Cheers man!
I've always wanted to try real fresh Wasabi. I heard it's so good. Especially because fake Wasabi doesn't actually taste like the real thing. It's just horse reddish with food coloring. I was so upset when I found out. But one day I will have sushi with the real deal.
It's actually horseradish mixed with Chinese mustard powder and food coloring. Real wasabi tastes very close to that just more earthy. Horseradish depending on it's concentration can get much hotter than wasabi. The whole wasabi is the hottest thing people have ever put in their mouth shtick is just people being drama.
The perfect collab. I've had the incredible privilege of meeting Chef Hiro and his cameraman in Miami. An experience I'll never forget, and I've never had better sushi than that day.
I love how guga always looks at others when he tries the first bite of anything. Shows he loves to share his passion of cooking with people around him. That selfless personality seems super genuine and keeps me coming back for all his videos.
Not only do I love your videos and your channel Guga, but the fact that you put Hiro's channel at the top of everything else in the description says a lot about what kind of person you are. Lovely, funny and respectable as always, big ups Guga!
I love how Guga does these crazy experiments... first a sauced literally nicknamed death sauce, then this, and then YOGURT? The things he does are insane! Kudos to you, Guga, this is literally so entertaining to watch.
I think the reason for why this turned out so well is due to 3 main aspects of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), the compound that gives wasabi its pungency. 1) Its antimicrobial properties helped prevent bacteria from building up during the dry age (which isn't a great concern anyways, but it's better than the sugar based experiments which facilitate microbial growth) 2) It's relatively water soluble meaning that it was able to penetrate relatively deeply into the steak 3) It compromises the integrity of membrane and protein structures making the meat even more tender 4) It's enzyme disrupting behavior may be what causes the lasting flavor in your mouth as it might be inhibiting the effects of digestive enzymes in saliva
Really interesting! Now, since wasabi is extremely expensive, would it be possible to see if horseradish would produce a similar result (since they're related) on a smaller budget for us mortal people? :)
@@revan21668 Almost every restaurant outside of Japan does. Wasabi is a fresh product that withers fast, and expensive to boot. Unless you are either in Japan, or in a Michelin star restaurant, the wasabi you're served is almost always going to be horse radish. The wasabi paste you buy at the store is the same; just green horseradish
Real wasabi works for only about 30 minutes after grating. It's all due to quite intensive and short lived chemical reaction between wasabi's freshly destroyed cells and oxygen. That's what gives it that spicy taste which you can't preserve in any way. And that's why all the pre-packed wasabi pastes or powders are in fact a horse radish that's flavoured to taste like wasabi.
Thank you, Guga. You literally introduced me to dry-aging, which is now something I am extremely into. Being a young scientist, the whole chemical and biological business behind it is awesome!
3:40 Guga! I've only had real wasabi two or three times in my life, and I completely agree with you: in addition to the heat, it has such a pleasant floral / herbal smell. It's nothing like the stuff you get with your store bought sushi.
If you're in the US you can get it easily. There's a farm in Oregon that grows wasabi commercially and you can get fresh rhizomes (and leaves, plants, etc) shipped directly to your door. It's just called "The Wasabi Store".
Hey Guga, been watching your dry aging videos for what feels like years now, your drive and passion and attitude towards what you do helped inspire me to follow my own dreams in culinary. As of recently i completed a cullinary program to help me get in the right direction for my dream, to open and own my own restaurant, its going to take a while but it will happen, and i want to thank you for helping me gain the motivation and passion to cook.
Moved to Europe 20 odd years ago from Africa, zambia, we used to eat steak at least 3times a week, here I eat it 1 every 3months if I'm lucky & most of the time it goes in the bin, still enjoy drooling over these vids....
One thing I appreciate about gugu is that he doesn't throw in your face how much he spends on his videos. Besides the steaks he probably just spent a couple hundred dollars on wasabi.
Collab and connection through food really is beautiful and worth living through this maddening time in the world.. I really loved seeing Chef Hiro get so giddy and smiley over steak especially with Guga and Angel's energy already
@@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869 I didn't say it was a good thing, just that it happens. I mean, it's the cheaper alternative for a reason. Actual wasabi is a pretty water intensive crop.
I imagine there's some sort of enzyme that's in there that penetrates so the flavour might not matter at all, as long as they're very similar plants they might have that commonality
i discovered you like 2 weeks ago and i have to say youve hooked me instantly. My mouth waters watching your videos cause ive never eaten 99% of what you cook. I can wait to someday try/make any of those
Hey Guga, thanks for your great videos. After watching your videos, I have three requests for future videos: - Please try some other cattle breeds than wagyu and American beef. - How do you clean all your pans and other cooking ustensils so they continue to be so shiny ? - Please cook a foie gras in a terrine using sous vide. And yes I'll repeat those requests often. ;)
The spicy flavor in Wasabi is created when the cell membranes are broken during the maceration process. It takes about 5 minutes to get the spice to really come out. It is also short lived. If you leave it too long the spice flavor will go away. I wonder if you would get the same effect using ground leaf and stem. It might be cheaper too.
Gotta say that fresh grated/ground wasabi paste looked fantastic, and with salmon it would be heaven. Thank you to Hiroyuki for all the effort and suffering, hope the steak was a good payment
So if wasabi works, will horseradishwork instead? I mean you say wasabi is very expensive, so wouldn't it make sense to try if horseradishwill get the same result, or at least similar? (while ofc being a lot cheaper).
i am still hoping you will try dry aged with "belacan" or shrimp paste. It is salty fermented shirmp which should have fantastic taste on the steak after grilled.
@@aimansaufi9205 unfortunately it is not comercially available "internatioanlly"? I think there is a type of shrimp paste from Hong Kong is of jam consistency.
@@aimansaufi9205 why not just dry-aged with fresh durian, D24 or Musang King? 😅😂😅😜 I bet Guga had source to get frozen durian paste easily. Thai durian should be his last choice as replacement.
as someone who works in the cooking buisness himself it is very awesome to see the questions you ask yourself ''wait, would this even be possible'' be answered here, awesome idea and execution.
You mentioned the difference in softness between the two styles of aging the meat. I’m curious how much moisture is lost between the two styles. Could it be that coating the meat actually protects the meat from moisture loss?
I haven't even watched this yet and I KNOW it's delicious. The best part about Wasabi is it's subtly. When it hits, it hits hard, but backs off quickly. When it's subdued, it's nice and slow burning. Gonna watch now. I'll bet I'm right, and I'm also gonna try it for myself, because this just sounds amazing.
Yes, and you can physically see that it is ray skin- a commonly used material in Japan, unlike shark skin which isn’t really a thing. However rays and sharks are kinda in the same family.
Love the video. It is said that Wasabi looses its pungent attributes soon after grinding. So we see the reaction when grinding verses spreading on the steak. Would like to see the fake stuff used for its pungent flavor stays with it. Great content.
It looks amazing. If hiro says it's good, im with it! It was good to see everyone excited, especially Hiro. His camera man is always talking. In this video it was like he was free!
Beautifully done guys. I would also love to see this done with Horseradish as well. In all of North America the fake wasabi is made with Horseradish and so could you please do another dry age with that? Thanks Guga :)
I just find how fascinating these experiments are and the effect they have on each cut of meat, and I'm always impressed and interested with many of the comments from your viewers that have different ideas with techniques and ingredients that can be tried
Man GUGA. I love that you're collaborating with so many well known chefs, it brings a smile to my face to see so many familiar faces like nick and hiro
OK, I’m intrigued by this. However, rather than leaving it at “if you grind up enough of an expensive and rare rhizome to age beef in, it’ll be good”, what if you tried the same experiment with much cheaper pure ground horseradish or mustard seed paste?
Would also love to see a equipment review, for the equipment that you use, not only the thermometers, but the grill, charcoal lighter igniter all your goodies. Would love to see something like that. After all there's only so much drooling I can do.
I'm curious to find out how dry aging with the fake stuff would compare. I get the feeling it would have a completely different effect on the steak. Would be nice to see a video comparing the different brands to the real deal.
Master Guga…what a pleasure to work with you again! I can’t wait to bring you more wasabi so you can try with some other special things… 😉 😉 coming soon! Good afternoon meu amigo…!

The spice in wasabi is called allyl isothiocyanate. The spice mellows when oxidised so leaving it to dry age takes the spice out

that is very interesting that wasabi enhances the flavour when dry-aged with steak.
I think it was used like that always. I never eat wasabi at the side of my dish
Where have you been man???
I think the reason for why this turned out so well is due to 3 main aspects of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), the compound that gives wasabi its pungency.
1) Its antimicrobial properties helped prevent bacteria from building up during the dry age (which isn't a great concern anyways, but it's better than the sugar based experiments which facilitate microbial growth)
2) It's relatively water soluble meaning that it was able to penetrate relatively deeply into the steak
3) It compromises the integrity of membrane and protein structures making the meat even more tender
4) It's enzyme disrupting behavior may be what causes the lasting flavor in your mouth as it might be inhibiting the effects of digestive enzymes in saliva

@@aimansaufi9205 unfortunately it is not comercially available "internatioanlly"?
I think there is a type of shrimp paste from Hong Kong is of jam consistency.
Are u a Malaysian?
@@aimansaufi9205 why not just dry-aged with fresh durian, D24 or Musang King? 😅😂😅😜
I bet Guga had source to get frozen durian paste easily. Thai durian should be his last choice as replacement.
@@ccwong75 brilliant idea
as someone who works in the cooking buisness himself it is very awesome to see the questions you ask yourself ''wait, would this even be possible'' be answered here, awesome idea and execution.
My two favorite UA-cam chefs ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Haven't watched Hiro in quite a while, and I'm happy to see how much his English improved 😁
You mentioned the difference in softness between the two styles of aging the meat. I’m curious how much moisture is lost between the two styles. Could it be that coating the meat actually protects the meat from moisture loss?
Coating the meat in any sht protects it from dry aging and allows it to naturally rot, just like our boy guga likes it!
I love the way guga says “beautiful steaks”. he sounds so cool
I haven't even watched this yet and I KNOW it's delicious. The best part about Wasabi is it's subtly. When it hits, it hits hard, but backs off quickly. When it's subdued, it's nice and slow burning.
Gonna watch now. I'll bet I'm right, and I'm also gonna try it for myself, because this just sounds amazing.
If I remember correctly, Chef Hiro visited an an US wasabi farm and the owner was saying that the special grater is ray skin, not shark skin.
Yes, and you can physically see that it is ray skin- a commonly used material in Japan, unlike shark skin which isn’t really a thing. However rays and sharks are kinda in the same family.
Yes you’re right ☺️ it is ray skin that is used.
@@DiariesofaMasterSushiChef so cool that your in the comments!
@@DiariesofaMasterSushiChef was this Wasabi from you visit to the Half-moon Bay farm?
ステーキといえばワサビ。海外の人もきっと気に入ってくれるはず
3:43
Guga: “It has a smell similar to cilantro”
Me: “Wtf?”
Guga: “Yeah, exactly.”
Well, as a follow up dry aging in the fake wasabi would also be a great experiment imo!
Watching Guga paint steaks is satisfying my OCD so much
You should finally make the Dry Age Everything channel. And dry age Angel of course.
only if he leaves Guga's cast iron skillet out in a rainstorm again
@@scott2100 or if he deep frys wagyu again.
Love the video. It is said that Wasabi looses its pungent attributes soon after grinding. So we see the reaction when grinding verses spreading on the steak. Would like to see the fake stuff used for its pungent flavor stays with it. Great content.
It looks amazing. If hiro says it's good, im with it! It was good to see everyone excited, especially Hiro. His camera man is always talking. In this video it was like he was free!
This man needs to publish a cook book if he hasn’t already. I’d GRILL for a compilation of his dishes in one book
Hey Guga, you should try dry aging wagyu COVERED in a layer of cheap meat, which becomes the pellicle, sacrifisable part.
its so funny that at 1:20 he is screaming but his voice over is so calm lol😂😂
Beautifully done guys. I would also love to see this done with Horseradish as well. In all of North America the fake wasabi is made with Horseradish and so could you please do another dry age with that? Thanks Guga :)
No you want too much
I just find how fascinating these experiments are and the effect they have on each cut of meat, and I'm always impressed and interested with many of the comments from your viewers that have different ideas with techniques and ingredients that can be tried
Hiro: *grinds wasabi*
Also Hiro: *SWEATS NERVOUSLY*
Man GUGA. I love that you're collaborating with so many well known chefs, it brings a smile to my face to see so many familiar faces like nick and hiro
OK, I’m intrigued by this. However, rather than leaving it at “if you grind up enough of an expensive and rare rhizome to age beef in, it’ll be good”, what if you tried the same experiment with much cheaper pure ground horseradish or mustard seed paste?
I love how both of them have really deep accents ;- ) Its really funny!
Since real wasabi is so expensive and hard to get a hold of, can you do the same thing with fresh horse radish?
I second this.
I think that is a very good idea, and I think it will work.
I really want to see Guga try the dry-aged steak with chilli jam and invite uncle roger to try it. Please make it happen.
I’m going to prank my friend this weekend.
“Hey buddy, try some fresh made guacamole”
Guga, dry age a steak in mole paste!
Mexico will be proud if you do this. 😃🇲🇽
It's so great to finally hear Hiro talk more. Usually we just hear his cameraman talk and him respond back.
Would also love to see a equipment review, for the equipment that you use, not only the thermometers, but the grill, charcoal lighter igniter all your goodies. Would love to see something like that. After all there's only so much drooling I can do.
Angel: "IM GONNA SAY IT!"
Guga: Yeah?
ANGEL: "BEST DRY AGE WEVE EVER HARD!"
Guga (in his head): "Okay RELAX buddy lmfao"
Guga: "Its....extremely flavourful"
I'm curious to find out how dry aging with the fake stuff would compare. I get the feeling it would have a completely different effect on the steak. Would be nice to see a video comparing the different brands to the real deal.
Damn I LOVE it when my favorite UA-camrs collaborate!!! Im a happy man :)
