Now that's REAL beef. Good cared animals, that's how it has to be.

Imagine if your boss was watching you and you dropped a piece on the floor....

The only problem I see is they are eating it with two fucking sticks. All the technology in Japan and they still haven't gotten past that one...

@dadoody Thanks for the tip.

A happy cow is a tasty cow, now if only the people of the US can realize this cuz obviously, our cows are miserable, it taste plain unless it's seasoned. It'll be a sad day if Japan ever loses this species of cow.

@ukiop999 When there's a reason to eat fancy, try "Cut" by Wolffgang Puck. There's one in Beverly Hills and one in Vegas. They have a meat sampler of American Kobe, Japanese Waygu, and midwest dry aged. Awesome value.

@dadoody Glad to hear the real stuff was wonderful! I've only had the American stuff and tho I did like it quite a bit, I can imagine something like what you describe being even better. Someday I will snag a taste.

@ukiop999 Ah, that might explain it. The true Japanese Kobe was very well marbled. It was like butter. More than 5oz was already too much. Too rich. American Kobe is not like the Japanese at all. Drier and not as marbled. Flavor isn't worth the price.

[ukiop999]

@dadoody They are not the same cow - American Waygu is crossbred with angus...There is of course much more to it than the animal that the rancher starts with.

Judging by the guy on the right and his facial expression after the taste I would say he is disappointed he just spent about $100 for his meal.

kobe or matsuzaka beef are way overrated. It's just fat. That's all it is.
