Japanese Wagyu Beef Story (from Farm to Table) ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Wagyu Beef in Japan is the juiciest, most delicious steak you may ever eat, but how? What's the secret? How does Japan grade each wagyu? What's the standard for A5 beef? How do the cattle live?
To find the answers, Dean Newcombe and I rent a car and drive from Tokyo to neighboring Ibaraki prefecture to visit a Wagyu Farm, the Hitachi Beef processing plant where they grade the beef and a top Wagyu restaurant on the base of Mt Tsukuba with views all the way to Mt Fuji.
We'll eat premium cuts of A5
★ Tenderloin
★ Sirloin
★ Prime rib

As a vegetarian I really appreciate the respect you have towards what you eat and how you're willing to face the animal head on
Camushii see animals as lesser life forms and you won’t feel any guilt my friend
I respect my meat I massage my meat and you know what goes next
@@user-uo2sl5us8f they are lesser life forms moron!
Go crazy one day and eat meat. You won't regret it. Trust me. 😉
@@AnnexF hi! i have eaten meat and then chose to go vegetarian but thank you for your suggestion
A couple of notes: 1) no, I don’t show any animals being killed. The advisory is just for a meat locker where you see the meat on hooks. 2) Driving scene. The GoPro flipped the screen. Sorry to confuse the public. 3) For everyone who doesn’t eat meat or beef, the title has beef in it 😂 you don’t have to watch and make yourself upset. You know what you’re getting with this video - BEEF. YUM. FARM. STORY.
4) Yes, we slightly burned 3 pieces of meat. We ate it. The advisory should have been a burning beef scene, knowing who’d be watching 🥩
ONLY in JAPAN lmao
The burned beef looked good, but then i always burn things when i cook, so it looks normal to me!
Wagyu is amazing.
You can never satisfy 7 billion people with 7 billion kind of attitudes John. lol
CamoVecmin Right!! 😆🌏
What did you think? Leave your thoughts and opinions below and I'll pin the bets comment to the top! Wagyu is one of the best beef in the world, especially when its graded high, but A5 isn't always the best. There's a lot of elements to this episode, a lot to take away from it. Thanks for watching! And thank you Dean for driving most of the way in this one. -John
Is that the place where you bought the beef you cooked with your wife a month ago on the live channel?
No need for a warning and really that should only happen when the animals life and guts are involved. Not disgraced or shamed as that is what life requires.
Thank you for sharing. Thats true what you said here in United states. The farmers that are own by these huge corporations will keep you away because how inhumane the animals are treated. I love how wagyu cows are treated and even how Japanese still show thier respects even after they eat it. Great video. Thank you
How much did you pay to eat out? That must be one exotic place, I must admit. 30,000 ¥?
Can it be cooked well done?
I believe people need to stop being so sensitive over processing. We need to stop enabling it. It’s perfectly fine to show these things. Thanks for an awesome video.
Nobody gets upset when a lion takes down a gazelle on discovery which is pretty brutal to watch but, talk about people raising animals for humane slaughter and people get triggered. Ahhh the times we live in lol.
@@fishbone1834 exactly right, that is how the so called nature works. so many animals get to be eaten alive . the predator bites and pulls out clumps of flesh while the prey looks at the beautiful blue sky.. others not so lucky, they get to be digested alive in complete darkness. that sounds like fun. the so called nature is really great. and some think that saying some phrase before eating or "appreciating" the meat makes it better.
@@ixo666 go eat grass
Yea it’s apart of life the beasts get to live relaxin lives
@@generalstuffreligion2ndcha453 if you hate humans so much then off yourself, you fuckers are so God damn angry and anti human
The hung beef scene? Its not morbid, its the reality of human existence for thousands of years. Lets not allow the hysteria of entitled 1st world little darlings censor a fine Japanese tradition !!
An excellent program and channel !!
Ben SMITH I agree - a LITTLE morbid is what I said technically ... probably not best word choice. The title says beef from farm to table so I figure non-beef waters won’t watch. But a warning ⚠️ does add a little drama so I figured it couldn’t hurt. Only one person unsubbed - they thought I showed the slaughter scene because they quit watching from the advisory 😂
There's still normal people who appreciate meat only if those soya products consumers know how much of the rain forest is brought down for them to eat the vegetable burger
@@klmyaz most veggie burgers can easily be made with regular farmed vegetables
Sadly I Agree.
it's theeeeeeeee cirrrrrrleee! dun dun the ciiiiiiiircleeee the circle of liiiiiiife! Mufasa would be proud of dear sir
Compare Japanese Wagyu cattle's lifestyle to most "mass production" meat market's cattle...there's so much more respect and appreciation for such magnificent animals that feeds us.
@David Stunning Lmao lab grown meat is great and all but seriously not "quality", it's made for mass production
If you watch my other video, the owner really did show much love to the Wagyu. He doesn’t get attached, I think it’s just something people can get used to, but he was so kind to them, brushing them, talking to them. They looked so happy but they wouldn’t exist without the need for Wagyu. It’s his livelihood but the way he cares for them makes me feel better about eating it and I def eat less of it, partly because it’s $$$ but always because I know the taste came from a happy life (until that day at the end of course).
@@edvina9479 it will be in the future tho.
@Timothy Hoffman those cows are protected and not meant to be eaten because of religious reasons.
@denJa Vu yeah massed produce meat can taste off and have inferior quality. Try looking for a local ranch in your city if at all possible. I found one and after trying one of their New York steaks I cant see myself going back to walmart for a steak NOR go to a steakhouse for one. Knowing where it comes from and buying directly from the source is a whole new level. One day I will try the Wagyu but for now man oh man the local source is so good!
The processing is in a whole nother level than most if not all other countries. They take such good care of the cattle that is even admirable. This is why Japan is going straight to the top.
I appreciate your deep understanding about Japan and its culture.
Especially about「いただきます」meaning.
We say it with the gratitude, not only for the life of the animal but also for the plants one.
This is amazing. I remember your first episode on Wagyu a few years back, and the backlash it received. I'm so glad you revisited the subject. It does make you respect your food so much more when you see where it comes from. I wish the US did this more. Maybe then it wouldn't be taken for granted the way it is. Someday, I will get to try Wagyu beef this way. For now, I guess I'll just finish the rest of my PB&J sandwich.
Ikr
Now I want a pb&j. Puts this show on pause, go down stairs and gets some out of the freezer. Returns and presses play.
The reason that the US doesn't show how the food is treated is because how little they care for the animal and how they pack them in as tightly as possible to get the largest yield. Most of the large production companies of our meat they treat the animals with disrespect out of profits.
You're possibly the best content creator on UA-cam. Your insight on Japan's culture and your time sharing Japan over the years has been anything put cliche. Although you have content creators or "youtubers" that are funny and charming this has been my go to for information and real Japan. Thank you for being great at your craft!
Very insightful John - another great video as always! Fantastic explanation on the different grades and giving us the inside scoop of what actually happens.
@@ixo666 We are all well aware of what happens. Maybe a four or five year old kid doesn't need to see that. Found the vegetarian.
I think I almost cried when I saw you burn that amazing beef .
it's nice that the cows are treated so well, they sure don't do that in the usa
Thumbs up 4 tan Urabe.
Unless it's a pasture raised and grass fed
We do in Vermont:) and we keep our grass field for letting farmers harvest to feed the moo moos.
Almost every local farm I've been to treats their cows very well. Open fields, grass fed. I'd bet that most small farmers treat their animals well.
The major producers are the ones that treat cattle like crap.
you can't even bbq right... nobody is bbq-ing with fire accept for you idiots =)
Loved your music cue choices: the surf guitar in the beginning, the angelic choir as you noshed on the A5 Wagyu, but my favorite was the pipe organ dirge as you over-cooked the first set of Wagyu. Overall, another inspired video. BTW I also loved the drone footage. Great stuff.
I enjoyed the music too!
I did what now? 😉
Yes, I noticed that droan footage as well...top notch!
I’ve serviced a meat company from japan that had a plant in LA. They respected meat and everything else. My sanitation crew was treated with high respect and I deeply admired the Japanese way of work.
My mouth is drooling now. The expressions on your faces when you chew that piece of wagyu cut... How i wish to experience that... It is my life long wish to eat and tast authentic wagyu beef.
Guys ..... that beef looked DELICIOUS!!! Going to Japan to try Wagu is on my bucket list!
Veronica Mokunui definitely a reason to travel around to try from local areas. Japanese ryokan (traditional inns) usually have it in the menu in places famous for Wagyu. I love it in Sukiyaki!!!
lets do it veronica. togetha
Veronica Mokunui pretty sure it’s on everyone’s bucket list 🤤
Veronica Mokunui u spell wagyu wrong 😂
I've been to Japan and I ate Wagyu in Takayama and it's mouth watering and I've made a video about Japan. I know that you're gonna tell me to Stop promoting myself but it's a representation of Japan itself and it's magnificent.
It’s a shame the first meal got burned. but i’m sure it was still delicious! I had A5 in Tokyo. We went to a place called Ginza Gomei that specialized in Akita Beef. Having an expert chef prepare the food for you is truly the best way to enjoy a specialty product like this. In America at least, it seems like the customer has been separated from the food chain process. The monger doesn’t want the customer to associate the product with an animal. I appreciate you showing the inside of the processing facility.
Nosh Abroad I guess in us some people will get real triggered if you let them see the animal from alive to steak
For that price, i wouldve eaten it even if it was completely burnt to a crisp lol
@@user-rq1zu4qs2l I would put a bullet in its head and carve out the tenderloin and grill it on the spot if I could. If that scares you you are not a real alpha.
@@xcalibertrekker6693 It just makes you sound like a psycho if you would like to kill because it's "alpha" or "manly". That should never be the reason.
I eat high grade beef all the time and I actually think having a decent char tastes better because the beef will never dry out due to the absurd amounts of fat in it and the fat actually renders down to the point whereby it's really sweet and complex.
I'm really glad to see how well treated and how organized the cows are. Not everyone may agree, but compared to farms in the states, they look a lot more calm and less stressed which is already a great sign.
I live in Montana, I grew up farm and ranching. I grew up to respect the animals we were raising because it was our livelihood.
@Michael Harley 😂😂😂😂😂this guy
Gotta respect where your food comes from and how it is treated!! As a hunter I truly know how hands in can change how you see your food!!! Appreciate it much more!! Good video
I truly, truly liked and enjoyed watching this.
I'm a Meat Eater, but, it seems there's more to meat than I originally thought.
Looking forward to the next episode.
As a cattle farmer seeing all the gorgeous wagyu hanging in the facility is amazing.
i think i speak for everyone here when i say, i really appreciate your efforts John, thank you for sharing!! your videos gets an automatic thumbs up!
I am living in Germany and you are not the first UA-camr who makes my mouth watering but this year'll be the year of having a once in a lifetime A5 experience.
I say thank you for that.
By the way thank you for all the great content the last year's. You are doing a great job. Keep on doing it, please.
Hey John! I just wanted to say thanks for providing such quality content! You're doing an excellant job informing us all with the goings-on in Japan, and you do it all with an endearing and lighthearted attitude which I genuinelly enjoy; I'm sure I'm not the only one! Thanks again, and I can't wait to get to Japan!!! :-D
3:22 with the smiling face with the cows and the "they all look pretty happy, maybe not...in the end..." Brilliant stuff. LOL.
Who else love Japanese food 😋
Mostly sweets lol.😍😂🍩🍮🍦🍨🍧🎂🍰🍪🍫🍬🍭🍰🍰🍰
Me
I Love it J.C Denton !
この俺だ!!!😈👍👍
Only despise the Japanese curry and Japanese sweets and drinks
Everything else is awsome
It sounds heartless to say that these animals are raised as food and not pets, however that is the reality.
The good thing about knowing where your meat comes from (a living animal) is that it makes you appreciate your meal more. It seems counterintuitive, but knowing how they lived, died, processed (portion cuts), and cooked, gives you the understanding that what you consume is of value, and that you shouldn't mindlessly consume it, and may likely prompt you to eat less of it, or to perhaps abstain from consuming meat again.
In my case, I grew up knowing about the process of how I get to eat chicken and pork on the table. Hence I try to eat less of it whenever I have other options available (certain fruits and vegetables where I live can be very expensive to buy). Whatever choice you make is all up to you. It does not make you a bad person for eating meat, but knowing where your meat comes from puts you in a better mindset of appreciation, and not be part of the mindless consumers who devour without thought.
It's not heartless of humans - it's Nature that is heartless.
The Strong dominate the Weak - as it should be. Nature makes no apologies for giving the victory of Life to the Strong - it's just how it is. Humans that try to justify that humans should stop eating meat are in fact more evil than proud meat eaters like myself. I do not think myself greater than God by defying Nature's law that the Strong eat and dominate over the weak. This law also applies to human society - the hardworking get rich while the weak and lazy get poor. Same principle. Nature rules over all - weaklings have no place dictating their stupid feelings for dumb animals over the birthright of humans to eat animals.
It's not heartless at all. It's 100% natural. Unless you're a snow flake
@@SuperKnowledgeSponge perfectly said
Lol. That is what circle of life really means.
SuperKnowledgeSponge, sorry to burst your bubble, hon, but what we do as consuming humans is nothing natural. Before the level of consumerism we have now, each family killed their own food. Now, we’re just doing it excessively to meet a demand where the meat goes bad in supermarkets cause they’re not bought in time and you have to supply more for those who didn’t buy it when it was fresh. For a Super Knowledge Sponge... absorb that. And yes, I am a meat eater, but I can recognize when the system is unbalanced and not sustainable. Something you still have to absorb. And please, don’t even try to justify your way of thinking cause you already showed you don’t have the capacity to understand how all of this works.
Ive been in Tsukuba! lots of Sweet Potato farms and flowers!
It really is a beautiful place! #lovetsukuba
ok?
did you meet mai-san
as someone whos worked ina butcher shop for the last few years, the hanging meat looked very very clean and nice. Like a butcher heaven!!

thanks for uploading ;)
Haha!! That’s right 😂 Japanese “Wagyu” Beef Story 🐃 is Japanese Beef Beef!! Haha
Like Nan Bread, Chai Tea, etc.
The shape of Japan's country is too beautiful! !! I have never seen such a well-formed country! ️ Too beautiful! !! As expected, it is a miracle and a land of surprises.
People nowadays don't even know beef come from? When i was a child my mother usually took me to the market to buy beef, and they sell it by hanging thr beef in front of us so we know what we will get, its so sad that people don't even know about this :(
wiwiwip p It’s not that people don’t know. It’s just that nowadays (speaking mainly for the U.S.), you get one of two reactions. Either people freak out at the idea of eating living creatures and treat it like a sin, or they just don’t care. Most of us don’t think about it, especially since we don’t tend to buy our meat from butchers.
@@youseineko it's weird how people react like this, first time I've butchered a chicken was when I was maybe 10 or 11 years old and it didn't freak me out, it's irritating how some people freak out on seeing foods getting butchered, they're too soft and can't handle processing their own feelings.
I became a vegetarian years ago because I was not okay with the "mass production" of meat animals here in the US. I wish more cattle got to live their lives out like Japanese cattle do. I really appreciate in this video that you did address the fact that many people in the world, especially well developed countries like the US just see the meat in a supermarket all packaged up and have no reverence to the idea that there was once a live cow, live chicken, etc that it came from.
Hey John, keep up the good work. Been a fan of your work. Can't help to notice that Japan now has the biggest Starbucks. Can't wait till you drop by and show us around. I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to seeing it. Thanks. 👍🏻
I love that conversation in the car. So many people in America don't know the source of the food that they eat, and I feel that many people would be more considerate of their choices if they knew of the conditions that the animals are in.
This video turned out fantastically, John. Well done.
So much fun getting on this road trip with you. Ibaraki feels uncharted for me. I like that. I would definitely try and make more content here. Hopefully together!
Normally I am not a foodie but damn that was good meat! I'll be back for that ha ha :)
runAway Japan glad you liked it Dean! We saw and did a lot didn’t we?!?
ONLY in JAPAN Yeah, I would say enough for a weeks trip, in just 2 days 🤣
I cannot wait to try Wagyu beef. It truly is the only beef that I MUST try on my bucket list!! This was a fantastic video giving us a glimpse of how well the cows are treated!
You had me at Wagyu! 😋 ♥ 🇯🇵
Another informative look at food, even as a very occasional meat eater I thought you dealt with it very sensitively. And agree that everyone should know where their food is from. Thanks John and Dean, keep up the good work 👍🏻
Watching the animal when they're alive will make one respect the meat. People need to watch the process.
"Maybe not, you know, in the end, but today they're pretty happy ... " ROFL. That was really funny.
I love your videos they have such high production value and quality. Keep it up!
Thank you for activating the fats! Definitely one of the best episodes from the last months! :)
Matthias Butz #activatethefats 😂 great the hear from you Matthias!
okay now im hungry for a wagyu beef
I’ve tried wagyu and as you eat it you have so much respect for it! It DELICIOUS! It melts in your mouth!
Oh really! Why did I have to see this video at midnight...Damm you John with your engaging videos! 😁
Millennial Travel Confessions 😁
Japanese culture is just so beautiful.
I always look at Japan for anime and manga mostly but know theres a ton other that i recognize it for. This and the ramen drive thru are on the top
Great info! Loved the cleanliness and respectful care of the animals. Saw the same standards with seafood market in a different video. Great video... thank you!
I say this out of respect: Lucky Bastards. Awesome video.
ZULU MATUBU lol like nothing else gives you cancer
Years ago I raised my own poultry. Chickens for eggs mostly, and turkeys for meat. Yes, hand raised meat always tastes better. Better control over conditions, better food, better oversight. As different in taste and quality as store-bought tomatoes versus home-grown tomatoes. You do find out that ranching is hard work and dedication, too.
I think this is the earliest I've been on one of your main channel videos
How can you add a "Disturbing images warning" at the beginning, but then show me the burnt wagyu without warning???? My soul cried!!
But seriously, this is the first time i've seen a wagyu video that not only shows the beauty, but also what can go wrong when grilling on real coal. As always, I love your videos!
"I hope you're hungry, cause you're about to get a whole lot hungrier,"

I've never eat this meat,but the way you show how to chew it.. that's make me feel how moist and delicious is. Nice share..
Here from the Instagram live. Your trip up to Kurama on the only in japan go made us change our trip in May to head up that way it looks to beautiful to pass up. Keep up the great work.
How was it?
Outstanding ep!!! The melting in your mouth while releasing a taste explosion of the wagyu is something that has to be experienced to be believed! Thanks a lot for the report from the farm pointing out the life of the cows and the process. Beautiful restaurant btw.!!
The only surprises me is that the price of the wholesale.
I really enjoy when you tell a story you've told before, but in a different way, and from a different perspective.
Yes, it had to be different. There are many angles to see this at, and I have a few more but it's never good to do them back to back. The last wagyu video was in 2017 so it's good to revisit older episodes and give a new POV. Glad you liked it and I appreciate the feedback on this. -john
The cows 🐄 get more love than the older generation 🤔
Omg I was at a party when you posted this so I just got to see it now! WOW lots of new videos! I am really excited about this! Sharing this on Twitter and FB!
Donna Hamlet thank you Donna!!
Cool to see as a meat cutter. Neat to see a small glimpse of another country’s meat processing.
I felt your pain, when you and Dean burned the precious wagyu beef on the hibachi. 😳😩😭🔥🔥🔥 Round 2...you guys must be in beef heaven! Another well made (but not burnt) episode! 🐂👍🏻👍🏻
How I wish I can go there. Japan 💗
Greetings John.
Don't you just love these cattle so much, that you want to hug them? I know i do.
that Beef looks soooooooo goood!
What an amazing experience.... totally loved it...I wish the rest of the world to adapt this method of raising cattles.... Give them a good and happy life
it just felt so jealous by watching you swallow that piece of heaven, but, haha, come in to JP in 2 days and gotta straight aim for the otoro!
Hsc
We want more of Only in Japan
I had Kuroge wagyu in Tokyo.... sooo good!! 😭🤤✨
I'm a meat lover, and my appreciation for meat amplified when I used to work as a butcher once.
Food Wars brought me here
It's just morning here in Spain, still haven't eaten breakfast and I'm drooling
It's still incredible to me that someone managed to convince the Japanese that insanely marbled meat is good.
... and then Japan somehow managed to convince the rest of the world.
But it DOES taste good tho... distribution of fat:meat ratio makes a big difference to meat taste. Even most of us (from where am from) knows that meat which are interwine with some fats taste best.
@@justbb1415 There's a difference between 'some fats' and 'this meat is mostly fat'. Let's just say I prefer the ratio to be completely different.
@@Wladislav yeah thats your preference. Majority of us likes our fatty meats.
@@justbb1415 Obviously.
Thanks for sharing! I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your positive outlook
vegans are giving too many dislikes already
I don't know about that ... I don't want to put anyone into groups. If anything, this may cause people to eat less meat and appreciate it more.
Probably PETA
Well I'm a vegan yet still i liked this vid
Niko Lindroos
Yes I m one of them..
I'm a vegetarian, and i totally liked this video. Grateful to see happy cows living a good life rather than factory farming cramped quarters disgustingness. Definitely support this video with a like! Thanks John!
I am Vegetarian but after watching your video i will try some Wague-Steak...
it looks so Yummmy...
That's great how you went to the farm itself and the factory...the vegetarians and vegans will cry a sensitive storm lol haha
My mouth is watering watching .
My dad’s sushi chef used to serve us wagyu sushi. I miss the taste
Did you share with Trump?
Was that,before or after starving the peasants in your self created shithole?
You idiots! It's a screen name!!!
@@brookeggleston9314 haha those fools got wooshed :))
That's how you became wagyu
it looks amazing. I've never eaten such delicious looking beefs. you know better about Japan than I do.
thanks for sharing videos.
"I will probably respect the meat more"
*put alot on at the same time and burns it all*
indeed......staggering morals!
This beef looks amazing. Such high quality, especially when the tenderloin cut got squeezed after cooking. So this leads me to think, why is Kobe beef so highly prized when there are other wagyu beef types of such high quality?
"I hope YOU'RE hungry, cause we're going to eat a lot"
Yes, I am very hungry, but doesn't mean I'm getting anything.
hahaha! Good point :P nice pick up Jenny!
that videography/lighting for the wagyu looked amazing.... well, not the burning of the fat (not an oil). The fat at room temp is not a liquid
This is what vegans often overlook. The act of eating meat can be separate from the cruelty of American (I'm American btw) factory farming. Proper care, humane treatment and a painless and instant death is better for the animal and makes for better meat for the consumer.
Compare these cows to the wild animals who often freeze and starve, must fight for survival non-stop and die painfully from starvation, lack of water, disease, injury and predation. Which one has the better life?
Have you watch movie "level 16"? Go watch it and see if you would like to have fate like the chaeacters on this film. Being raised in the best hygienic environment for to give away their organs for the owner of the slaughterhouse and then die.
@@jokerpoker1159 As soon as you answer the question I posed. WHICH one has the better life?
@@kenney9120 off course the animals in the wild have better life and free to roam around.
@@jokerpoker1159 Fair enough. I will go and check out that film now.

Only in Japan ,,, One Million Subscribers 👍👍👍 beautiful video... Thank-you so much for sharing ...
This video turned into a nightmare with the burned wagyu. A NIGHTMARE I say!
i know right lol
I agree T^T
I like a little bit of char on my steak. But with this quality of beef I'd agree this I'd a bit of a nightmare lol.
I'm salivating like crazy and it's 3:20am. I do have a thin ribeye in the fridge...hmm
I suspect even the well done was good... lol. The closest I can get is American Wagyu from Snake River farms. I seriously doubt it’s A5 or even A4 in comparison. It is quite tender and juicy. I am dying to see what you two do next.🤫🤤
For those who are now wanting to try a5 wagyu here is a suggestion. First, go to Japan where the prices are fairly cheaper (obviously explained in the video), 2. there are all you can eat a5 wagyu in some places in japan watch (strictly dumpling) he knows one of the places, and third eat in moderation! The price is overall expensive, and if you haven't had olive wagyu yet oh my god y'all need to try it! Trust me you don't need to eat a lot of a5 wagyu it's recommended to eat a small portion of it since it's way too oily, but at the same time mouth gasm to the core.
I honestly would have grown attached to the cows. They're too cute!! 🐄
@Craig *Deep Breath* I was saying *I* wouldn't eat them. Plus I'm a vegetarian.
Live in a farm for 5 years and you going to change your opinion quick.
@@GigawingsVideo In what way?
@@blazingroseninja9574 You're not going to get attached to the cows.
This road trip gets better better by every episode
Really great video, but come on John you guys forgot to take off your hats while eating.
They're balding
People say Japanese people are really strict with their rules and manners, but most of the times I feel like they're overexaggerating.
But "taking off your hat" is one of the manners that people actually do care lol
especially older people.
I was brought up at a time when hats came off the second you entered a house. Only poorly educated people would „forget“ to do so and as children we would get a little smack to the back of our head to remind us! But although times have changed (alas!) I am still offended by people sitting at a table with hat or even bean-bag on their head. For Japanese it must be a horrible disrespect to them and the food! And if you‘re balding, so what! Face it and don‘t let it touch your self respect!
Watched the video, thought of this and came to the comment section and was not disappointed. Apparently they didn't get the memo that wearing a hat indoors is not cool :S . Sorry John.
Bernd Heiden if I wanna wear a hat, I’ll wear it, it’s nice, and I wanna express myself. I feel like it’s a dumb social taboo. Which has expected dwindled in recent years
Awesome. It’s great to see your food and not be ignorant about it. Appreciate the cattle.
John, new intro!
John uploads a video, I see it - I click it - I like it - I enjoy it
Hey John! Awesome video! Where exactly is the wholesale meat shop? I can't find it anywhere and would love to pop by one day for some affordable wagyu!
great video/ production/ tour/ beef. I could smell and taste it. thanks for sharing. keep up the great work! And, yes, everything in moderation including beef, pork, fish, vegetables. Keeps us trim and fit...
