- On my way to dinner.
I went to my hotel concierge
and I said,
"Where do I get the best
"Kobe beef in Tokyo?"
They said come to this restaurant,
so they made me a reservation.
Now, I've just got to figure out
how to get there.
The restaurant's at a lobby on the 52nd floor.
I'm super looking forward to it.
I had some great Kobe beef,
Yakiniku style where you cook it yourself, barbecue.
But I've got a feeling I'm not cooking it properly,
so I thought, "Well, let me come to something a bit more
"kind of a grilled style where they'll cook it,
"and it'll just be perfect, perfectly done."
So I'm really excited to try it.
I'm gonna have like a prime-cut
Kobe beef steak or something,
but let's see what the menu holds in a minute.
Okay, so I've got my seat,
and I am here at
Seryna
which is
a teppanyaki place.
I'm just gonna have a look at a couple of menu options.
("Press Start" by Ryan Little)
So I have selected the Kobe Beef Excellent Special Dinner.
We will soon find out what all of these
lovely decadent dishes are like.
What I'm really looking forward to is right there,
the prime sirloin steak.
It's gonna be amazing!

Here we go.
Some spoon to pick them with.
Some little pancake things cooking away up in here.
("Press Start" by Ryan Little)
So the little pancake things that were crepes are
actually for
some caviar and a few toppings.
It's all fitted together.
I'm making my own little caviar crepe.
("Press Start" by Ryan Little)
The crepes are super tasty.
It's the right amount of sponginess.
I like the sour cream in them.
The caviar flavor is really good,
a good mix.
Next up, we've got oyster and mushrooms.
I love my mushrooms.
Oysters, I tend to prefer raw as opposed to cook.
I've not had the two together before,
let's see what it's like.
Boom!
("Press Start" by Ryan Little)
Boy, those mussels are really good.
Mm,
cool!
Oh, there's some lobster coming up.
Oh yeah, amazing!
Can't wait for that!
Mm!
That's good, real good!
Actually, that's the first time I've had
cooked oysters, tasty.
I really like the flavor.
In fact, I thing there's more flavor
when they're cooked.
("Press Start" by Ryan Little)
I wonder how it will compare to that fresh lobster
that we caught in New Zealand.
("Press Start" by Ryan Little)
That looks absolutely phenomenal.
That is crazy good!
I love the way it's cooked.
It's just a little bit crispy on the outsides,
a bit of lemon flavor in there,
and the sauce are so good.
("Press Start" by Ryan Little)
Mm, mm!
("Press Start" by Ryan Little)
Here it is.
Look at that!
That looks absolutely phenomenal.
Check out that marble.
("Press Start" by Ryan Little)
("Press Start" by Ryan Little) (meat sizzling)
Perfect!
("Press Start" by Ryan Little)
Thank you.
That looks absolutely phenomenal.
("Press Start" by Ryan Little) (meat sizzling)
So, here we go.
(chefs speaking in foreign language)
This is devil's play here.
Um-mm!
Mm!
Oh wow!
That is phenomenal.
It's crispy on the outside,
and just with a little bit of pressure,
the whole thing just
disintegrates.
The juice comes flooding out.
The flavors, they explode in my mouth.
Oh, my God, that is absolutely
stunningly amazing!
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!
Um, um-um-um-um-um!
All right, then the other one.
Popping a little bit of sauce on it.
Like this.
(patrons talking loudly)
(cutlery clanging together while meat is sizzling)
Mm!
(cutlery clanging together while meat is sizzling)
That beef was
so
amazingly good!
If I should reach the end of the set menu,
I'll just go back to the soup to finish it off
with some rice, and then it's on to desert.
But I can't possibly leave Tokyo
without having more of that beef.
So, I've just ordered another steak
(laughs)
Oh,
I'm done!
That was phenomenal!
What a great, great meal to end my trip off.
I really, really enjoyed that.
