hey everyone hope you're having an
amazing day it's mark Wiens I'm in Tokyo
Japan and I'm here with the hungry
tourists on the best of Tokyo food tour
and today for lunch we're walking over
to a restaurant which is called sting
Shima they specialize in steak of course
and some of the best top-of-the-line
Wagyu and Kobe beef well at the end of
the meal I think we're gonna have a
chance to try their their world-famous
she must steak sandwich so that's all
coming up we're walking through the
restaurant right now
[Music]
down that is the sign right there okay
we come down a flight of stairs oh
there's nothing better than these
basement restaurants in Tokyo just
hidden gems below the city
awesome awesome place already crispy
bread and just a giant block of butter
[Music]
so crusty at the beef Wagyu aromas in
here are amazing the first thing you
need to decide at Shima is whether you
want to order the sirloin or the Filat
and let me tell you when both lumps of
flawlessly marbled Wagyu beef are within
your arm's reach
it will be at that very moment the most
difficult decision of your life the best
news is you can't make a bad choice I
went with the sirloin the fattier of the
two options guaranteed to be one of the
juiciest things you've ever put in your
mouth opossums son
after trimming the excess fat off your
steak they actually bust out a scale to
confirm you're getting every last gram
of meat that you pay for chef then
seasons your beef with a sprinkle of
salt and pepper before poking the thick
Wagyu onto skewers to roast in his
personally designed one-of-a-kind
charcoal rotisserie steak oven by this
time you need to be careful you might
already be drooling without even
realizing it the chef here by the way is
an amazing guy he's so friendly so nice
before the steak though we made the
healthy decision to have a salad and
even the salad is made with extreme care
and precision corn sliced off the cob
tomatoes a handful of greens and herbs
finely sliced onions salt pepper sesame
seeds a lemon and Japanese mustard
dressing all followed by a light toss
and even the salad is just gorgeous as
well
hmm oh so good the onions in there and
the corn is so sweet as well the herbs
are really like crunchy and fresh that's
amazing
[Music]
probably cooked for about ten minutes
but it's medium-rare you can see just
you have to just gaze into that hunk of
beef and see how thick it is that just
is a piece of meat that deserves a
moment of silence and then he's
sprinkled on top some fried garlic oh it
feels like a chunk of butter oh that
just slices through like insane look at
that piece of meat all that is that is
absolutely gorgeous
okay come get a close-up look at this is
gonna be my first bite and this is the
sirloin Wow that's like a game
overstatement that is like the it's so
unbelievably tender but the depth of
flavor you can feel like that that fat
has just like melted into every corner
every one every little tiny morsel of
that beef it's just like saturated in
juices it literally is just like a like
a giant chunk of beef flavored butter
I haven't even added any sauce yet and
I'm just loving it as is with nothing on
it but I think I will dip this bite into
the soy sauce and wasabi there's no
doubt in my mind that a baby could eat
this you do not need to for it you can
just go with your gums
I don't want this stick to ever end
seriously did you taste I have to say a
huge thank you wouldn't make money she
has she ordered the full airing yeah and
she's gonna let me taste it no okay
Jim Jim good mock-up of Lamacq um here's
the filet all that feels pretty awesome
ly juicy to the filling
the fill it is ridiculous as well oh
it's like tender in a completely
different kind of way the sirloin has to
me more of like a like a juicy
tenderness
well the fill it is more of a silky
tenderness I saved my final piece of
beef to share with you it's unbelievable
it's one of the most satisfying like
single bites you don't want to swallow
that look that final bite you want to
leave it in your mouth and just suck out
all the juices so this is the beef
certificate you've just finished in your
stomach yeah
so here's cars nope nose print they're
the name of the cow
you have had called Honaker key
information of my father mother
grandfather and grandmother where's the
Cal from this is the car from Hugo
Macchio patima one of the premium leaf
so you know exactly where your beef is
coming from and it's just that is the
nose print definitely the best culinary
souvenir I've ever had
I haven't even fully processed that beef
yet but we are now eating dessert and
this is actually foster parents foster
parents like I yeah yeah so they were
adopted yeah Shinji just keeps telling
us more and more interesting facts about
the cow that we just ate now let's be
honest the fruit and ice cream was
absolutely fantastic however it was
completely dwarfed by dessert number two
and I'm talking about the legendary
Shima takeaway
japanese steak sandwich that has made
some of the world's top chefs weep and
cry tears of joy to begin with overly
thick slices of white bread are
perfectly toasted to golden crispy once
the bread is ready an over-the-top
amount of Japanese premium beef scraps
are seasoned with salt and pepper and
lightly seared literally for just about
a minute or less per side now back to
the toast it's spread first with a layer
of Japanese mustard followed by a sweet
and tangy tomato sauce now you may think
at first just a single layer of beef on
the steak sandwich would be more than
sufficient but you'd be totally wrong
finally what is likely one of the
world's most beautifully engineered
feats of steak sandwich takeaway history
you will be amazed at how the chef's
intricately slices the sandwich and like
a puzzle fits it perfectly into a little
Japanese takeaway box but this is a
takeaway box that usually doesn't make
it too far we ate dessert but that is
not the end of the meal this is the
dessert that I am most looking forward
to their world renown for their steak
sandwich it's the most beautiful
takeaway item you've ever seen in your
life
I got my chunk of the sandwich you can
see there's four layers of tender beef
and you can see that the tomato sauce in
the mustard is oozing out the bread is
crispy and buttery I'm gonna give you a
full 360 view look at this sandwich just
revolve it around oh and when you press
it down it literally feels like that
buoyancy that that that bounce to it oh
just look it's just oozing with with all
things delicious okay
I'm gonna squeeze down a little bit more
pick this up
oh oh that's that's insane
all the mustard in the tomato sauce and
just the layer upon layer of tenderness
they actually pack this or take away but
there's absolutely no way and you're
walking out the door with this sandwich
you're gonna eat it right here
oh that's just
tender tender supreme hands-down the
best dessert I've ever had in my life
