[Music]
first spiderwag you
[Music]
oh my god
and literally have tears for me
[Music]
hey guys it's mike chen now last time i
was in japan of all the delicious things
i've ate the one thing that left the
biggest impression
is is my meal in kobe the a5 wagyu kobe
beef i mean i still think about it to
this day like every single day i think i
dedicate at least 30 minutes
just daydreaming and thinking back about
my meal that deliciously
tender melty beef but the thing is that
that thing is not cheap now i always
thought that would be great if there was
a place that served kobe beef
but all you can eat because the two
things i love kobe beef and all you can
eat buffet so this time when i was
coming to tokyo
i researched around now there's no way
there's a place that's going to serve
you all you can eat kobe state they go
out of business in a day especially if i
if i'm going there but i did find a
place that served all you can use
a5 wagyu that's good enough for me let's
go
[Music]
they're gonna bring all the meats on
this menu and this whole thing is 6200
yen
so about 60 bucks and this is all a5
wagyu
so you get beef tongue short ribs roast
iceberg beef rib roast
ripped finger meat tender meat from
around the shoulder couple beef loins
beef shoulder
superior galbi and then you got a pork
strawberry pork belly chicken thigh
which
honestly i i don't want it i think those
are filler dishes
they're trying to get you to eat that
more so you so we wouldn't touch the
touch the a5 as much this is the play to
beat they're bringing out to you 12
different types of meat
and well it's not it's not labeled in
english but i can read some of the
characters
so i see the pork and chicken here um
and the rest you guys see this this is
eight five kroger beef
and kroger beef so just really quickly
about the meat wagyu
literally means japanese cattle and a5
is the highest possible quality of
japanese tech cattle
and kuroga is actually a category that
includes meats from
kobe and kroger applies to the black
cattle which
that's really the only breed that can
reach the a5 top
quality beef and that is identifiable by
look at this do you guys see the crazy
marbling
that's on each piece of this beef i just
ignored the pork and chicken i don't
even know why that's there it's like
somebody invited dustin diamond to the
cast of avengers party
but look at look at this so you guys see
the crazy
crazy marbling and it looks like almost
it's almost like
half marbling happily meat that
that is what makes 85 so incredibly
special
now the other thing about this place is
that i only have 90 minutes to eat as
much as i can so once i finish this
plate of meat
i can start ordering meats two at a time
and guys times are ticking away
i gotta start first i'm gonna start with
is this is the this is from the shoulder
this is the shoulder meat
and for grilling there's charcoal
and these you don't want to cook them
too much this looks like
more of a leaner cut i think this is
pretty good soy sauce
first bite of wagyu
oh my god now i'm back in japan
i literally have tears forming right now
from that one simple little bite no
steak i've ever had in my life outside
of japan comes even close to comparing
with a5 wagyu if you want something that
literally
melts in your mouth i mean a lot of
people say oh yeah my steak melts in
your mouth no no no
you want something that literally goes
into your mouth and just dissolves into
pure
flavorful bliss this is what you get
when you come to japan next piece um
this is the roast
look at the marbling on this baby this
is about
60 fat you see all the beautiful
patterns
this is what i call a masterpiece i'd
rather hang something like this up in my
living room rather than the mona lisa i
kid you not i mean come on you can't eat
a painting
oh this might be i think one of the best
best pieces and just to maximize time
i'm going to put down a bunch of
different meats because
each piece is going to cook for about a
couple minutes it's all about time
management here you got to get all you
can in that 90 minute period
[Music]
i think this is the loin
i believe these are the short ribs
and the ribbed finger meat
the beef is just rendering its own fats
look at that you see the fat kind of
dissipating all that juice is just
seeping
into the meat itself this peas is
definitely done
give it just a bit of salt this is my
preferred way of eating this
[Music]
the juiciest steak you could ever have
look how much
fat is on this one i might have
overcooked a little bit i apologize
confusedly for that again a little bit
of salt
oh my god that was my favorite piece so
far
there was still a lot of fat on that
piece of meat and the difference when
there's there's more fat on the meat is
that
it gets such a beautiful char grilled
flavor in your mouth
it's almost too much for me to handle
right now like this is almost getting
too much
let's just keep eating
[Music]
even really lean cuts of meat it's just
the most
juicy thing you'll ever have all right
this is the little beef finger
this thing also i'm thinking this is
going to be a little little chewy
but i can see a lot of fat in this piece
of meat
that was amazing now it's all kind of
getting messed up i don't even know
what's what anymore they all taste so
good but there was a couple pieces
the third piece i ate i think it's the
roast that one's my favorite so far
this is supposed to be the superior
galbi
i'm gonna eat all this i only have this
much left i'm gonna reorder everything
i'm gonna tell you guys what's the best
cut of meat here so you don't waste your
time next time
i just gotta get through this first
which is just gonna be the biggest
pleasure ever i'll tell you right now
besides the chicken and pork belly not a
bad cut of meat on this plate
not a single bad cut of meat this is the
beef tongue this is gonna cook in like a
like a
second this is so thin and it's probably
the leanest meat on this plate and it
might not be my favorite because i want
some fat on my meat
[Music]
oh the tongue it's actually got a nice
crunch to it
although it's not as fatty and juicy as
i like it's got good flavor
this is a few hundred dollars worth of
beef going down the hatch oh my god
i'm gonna show you that oh
whatever i just said that was a beef
cloud if beef clouds exist
i just ate it all right i'm not happy
about this but i gotta cook the chicken
and the pork these
filler meats but if they think filler
meats can deter my stomach
i got another thing coming especially
that chicken i mean pork belly
i like pork belly but the chicken really
has no place to be on the same grill
as a5 wagyu like how dare you
be in the proximity of meat's royalty
right i just asked so much medium that
i gotta eat a little vegetable
this hit the reset button you know
pork belly is good with fatty really
nice clean flavor it's juicy
it was delicious i soaked up all the
delicious smoke from the charcoal
under normal circumstances i would enjoy
the pork belly
but not today it's all about the wagyu
today anything that's standing between
me and wagyu right now what's my enemy
all right so i started ordering the
second round i got short rib and roast
but the bad thing is i'm filming so it's
on
slow so i've got 30 minutes left short
rib and roast
i think the short rib is what i love the
most on my last round look at it look at
the
fat that's on this thing look how fatty
this is
compared to the rose which is already so
marbled it can be carved into a statue
the roast is just oh there's so much
good i think this piece is going to just
be glorious
all right this stuff needs to go on now
[Music]
i've been eyeing this piece of roast
oh roast
i think it's the number one thing here
the roast for the extra fat
this is a life-changing action
you bite into that it's like a fatty
sponge all that juice just
leaks out on the first bite the beef
short rub is good
can't compete with the roast my sherbet
is leaner
feel ridiculously juicy but the grocer
is where it's at okay
uh guys so originally we get 90 minutes
here but 90 minutes is like
we have to get out at 90 minutes so it's
only been an hour and they told us our
last order has to be put in within the
first hour so i thought i had 30 more
minutes
but in reality i don't so i'm only was
able to get two more reorders
so if you guys come here and i do
recommend that you do because this is
one of the most amazing all you can get
experiences i've ever had in my life and
i had plenty you guys need to go to town
you guys need to put every single meat
on that grill
right from the beginning don't worry
about what it is put it all on there
eat it and then just start ordering more
that's the strategy
my last order is is this so beef rib
roast and then the acid is a is a little
leaner
i think i'm going to love the beef rib
roast
[Music]
get that come here beef rib roast get it
get a lot of it you guys can be really
happy the achi bong looks like a much
more leaner cut of meat
oh good job true this one about
much leaner but holy crap you just
ponder and turn it that's juicy
also they give me a couple of beef sushi
i don't really eat raw stuff so
on the grill it goes there it is
i'm gonna keep this here looks like good
meat right there
that's cooked i'm gonna put it back on
my sushi with a wasabi
[Music]
that was awesome my last beef
come on finally even these little matcha
ice cream cubes
which are absolutely delightful all
right they kind of really just rushed me
out of there so let me tell you guys
what i thought about that place
now the good thing beef absolutely
fantastic was it worth the 62
i paid 100 i mean there's no way i could
have bought that much beef with 62
anywhere else a5 wagyu not a chance what
i did not like was that although they
told me i got 90 minutes
the last order of beef had to be made
within 60 minutes
i was done eating and still had 15
minutes where i just sat around and i
had no food like that's not right trying
to get people out of there i understand
that we're getting the heck out of their
a5
but cutting the stick off at an hour
that's a bit shady with that said would
i go back
yes because i still think it's worth it
i still think if you guys
know that you only have an hour you can
really do some damage at that place now
if you go my advice to you is that this
is not a place for talking this is not a
place for talking it's not a place for
socializing
you just go in there and you just just
just slam
down the a5 wagon that's all you do
don't talk
don't socialize stay off your phones i
mean take a couple of instagram photos
then just concentrate on leading there
was a couple of
all you can eat a5 places that i
narrowed it down to and this was one of
them and this is the cheaper option
there's another one actually
down the street that i also want to try
out that one is almost double the price
and i really didn't know which one to go
to so i went to this one because it
seemed like they had similar cuts of
meat but i'm also gonna go that one try
it out and let you guys know which one
is more worth it which one is better
value
which one you should go to all right
let's go location number two
let's go see how it is so i'm on my way
to the second all-you-can-eat
a5 wagyu place and this place is called
ginza steak
so of course i'm in ginza right now in
this video i'm just going to tell you
guys
it's changing as we speak because
originally what this was supposed to be
was i found an all-you-can-eat 85 wagon
place that was supposed to be yes
supposed to go there
eat have a good time but then i find
this ginza steak place that charges
around 90
for an all-you-can-eat wagyu meal and
they let you eat for two hours
and the biggest difference between this
place and the last place is that
this place is it's hip-hop so they cook
everything in front of you and
it's not going to be thinly slices of
meat so the first oil you can get wagyu
place
is yakiniku style which you grow
yourself and this place you do it in
front of you
and i can see the steaks now the steaks
look much
thicker meaning probably a lot juicier
so this is the course menu i got
a5 roast beef white asparagus with jelly
oysters
kroger wagyu wagyu shimohori and akami
tapon steak basically what shimohori is
is more of a fatty piece of steak
and akami is more of a lean piece of
steak and then they got corned beef rice
beef soup
and apple compo look at the marbling on
this steak
insanely excited i could eat 85 wagyu
every single day for the rest of my life
and feel completely awesome the juice of
the wagyu
that just drives my life i love it when
restaurants
give you aprons especially a steak place
it just means they give you permission
to go all barbaric on the steak white
asparagus with jelly
eight five roast beef i don't know what
jelly this is
this might be the first time i ever have
jelly with beef but hey you know what
this could be really good
that's a little stomach feeling
white asparagus is really really mushy
we've just got really great flavor
a second piece the first time i've ever
had eight five feet cold
and yeah oh that fuse was too cheap the
second course
full taj of terrell scent of botargo
all right so this is what arrived for
course two
it's some kind of terrible soup tastes
kind of like a potato soup not too
flavorful
but not bad you know i get the oysters
are just fillers but
these look darn good
oh yeah i have fresh water so this is
the roast
and the roast just like yesterday is
more fat and this is cooked i think
medium well usually this might be a
little too much
but if i wag you there's so much
marbling that
cooking it to this temperature is
actually okay this is the fillet so it's
a lot
more lean karoge a5
oh my god this is lean fillet i mean
it's just salt and pepper
and the japanese eat it by giving you a
little bit of wasabi
oh my god no i'm so happy one is that
i got to eat this beautiful wagyu that
already has made my year
and this is the roast look how fat more
fat content is
in the roast look at that this is gonna
be
so bloody amazing okay let's
go a little wasabi it's not really
strong wasabi
i'm losing my mind right now if you guys
like that i mean this is not for
everybody if you like a fatty piece of
beef
and you know what i do for the roast
i barely have to chew it it's so
ridiculously juicy
even though it's cooked medium medium
well i mean that juice is it's just
everywhere it's a blood like just floods
your mouth
every bite you take and it sends you to
beat heaven and back and there again
and we haven't even got to the best cuts
of steak yet oh oh hang on it's gonna
get a lot better
this is the fatter uh piece of wagyu you
can see all the marbling
like even after it's cooked you see all
that right there that's available
[Music]
that cut is actually far superior to the
corrogate i just had
unless you guys have had this you won't
understand just how crazy this tastes
literally i'm not even exaggerating a
little bit
i'm chewing half of my mouth i'm just
filling it up with juice and you wanted
to be filling up with juice because all
the aroma
the fatty beautiful beefy flavor it just
goes
everywhere when you take your first bite
this is the magic of wagyu it does some
kind of crazy
wizardry i think i went to hogwarts or
something i'm not really sure but it's
able to just
perform some magic like after the first
bite but it's okay it's all good magic
good delicious magic none of that evil
stuff here's the savior right here i'll
show you this raw onion this is gonna be
your best friend
reset your palate garlic chip and the
pepper this is fantastic seasoning for
the steak
oh pepper that just makes that beautiful
beefy flavor even more pronounced
this cut right here is the shimmery
which is the fatter cut of a5 wagyu
and this is cooked a little less
beautiful
beautiful beautiful pink in the middle
oh that beefy flavor is really
pronounced with a lean cut of beef i
mean
this thing it's ridiculous i i could you
guys just not because i eat a lot of
steaks in the us
a lean cut of a5 wagyu tastes better
than
any steak i've ever had in the u.s
period
more tender more flavorful more beefy
each bite
just make you crave for more
get it get it more the beefy flavor of
this steak is so incredibly intense
and it's not overwhelming at all it's a
clean beef flavor
that you can just keep eating
you don't need them oh my gosh the juice
coming out of that stick it's almost
like the greatest
beef stock you could ever imagine and
it's all just like permeating your mouth
this is the kami steak as you can tell a
lot
leaner still tender though i'm assuming
this is going to be a little less melty
bigger beefy flavor i feel like i like
the akami
slightly more it's got a much bigger
beef flavor and you can eat more of it
because it's not overwhelming you with
the juice
start with the shimmer hurry end with
the akami and just keep going with the
economy
that's how you're going to get your
values here
keep shoving those onions in your mouth
all right this is like my fifth helping
of steak
the akami in shimoh and you guys can see
the difference side by side right
you can see the marbling that's running
through the shima hurray right here
it's like a fatty river
[Music]
i probably have upwards of close to 30
ounces of steak tonight
i think i gotta stop shooting before i
start to sweat me
it's just so hard to stop because those
are so ridiculously good
i learned that a bite of shimoh and then
a bite of akami
and then a bite of onions there's a
perfect formula
to keep the steak night going they're
trying to force force me out of like one
hour in
although they promised hour and a half
this place they're urging to eat more
steak
isn't this just the most beautiful piece
of steak you guys look this is a lean
piece of meat
look how my chopsticks is denting the
meat right now look at this
my chopsticks is like bruising the beef
even by just gently poking it
all right my last few bites i'm both sad
and kind of relieved at the same time
[Music]
oh oh god i want that butter like steak
to just kind of stay with me just a
little while longer
before we have to part ways that's a
better sweet farewell i won't see each
other again until
come back to this country that's why
long-distance relationships are so
difficult
and for some reason i feel like in this
relationship it's pretty one-sided so
this is the corned beef over rice
broth beef beef soup
this is so good this rice soup oh man
first of all their wasabi is great
really great
dining experience here apple compo
and it looks like vanilla ice cream any
type of ice cream
it's a great way to wrap up a fantastic
steak day
which today 100 west all right so just
comparing the last two all you can eat
wagon places
the first place definitely beats this
place based on variety
there are a lot more different kinds of
meats it was a lot thinner so you can
taste a lot more and you fill up a lot
slower of course the bad thing is you
only got an hour to chow down on steak
so you can't talk you just all you can
do
is eat beef for an hour by the way i
really didn't eat as much as i
i could have and i wish i did because it
did taste really good so
if you guys go definitely get some beef
revenge for me okay also it depends on
what kind of cuts of steak you like here
you're gonna get more traditional actual
cuts of steak steak like you would at a
typical steakhouse
of course the pro for the first place is
sixty dollars compared to the
almost a hundred dollars here but at the
same time here
you're not rushed you can actually enjoy
your meal and
all the courses they offer they offer
some seafood they offer some dessert
the soup everything is quality
everything is delicious
and the steak itself out of this world
if you want to do something that's
pretty economical you get a taste of a
lot of different cuts of meat
definitely the first place if you want
to actually enjoy
your dining experience this is where you
go and also let me clarify
the first place they don't kick you out
after an hour they stop serving you
deep after an hour you can stay for the
full 90 minutes but
without beef it's like you know staying
for the credits after a movie as always
all the places i went to is listed for
you in my description box below also if
you have not definitely follow me on
instagram where you're gonna get a lot
more exclusive photos and videos on food
i'm eating and you can see where i am in
real time all that information is listed
for you my description box below thank
you so much for watching
until we eat again later
