For 13 kilos 13 kilos about 26 pounds You must be jacked buddy How many of these do you go through a day just one So this but today you might need two because this one just for us, right? Yeah, I just want to make sure we're clear That is such a large coating of fat I Don't keep some fat This is the tastiest part. Yes. It is literally digging like digging through an avalanche of fat. Oh Wow, as soon as he cuts into the lean part, you see the marbling right away. All that is so pretty I've never seen an a5 wagyu in his primitive form before Where do you get your a5 from you guys have a particular place to get from Three places From Kobe some out to some of the famous places.

Yes charcoal this one the best charcoal and it really doesn't give off any older Wow Whoa, this is the end result, yes It smells so good like just the whole room smells like brisket now You want to know the key to world peace this right here? Like when you're in a presence of this You're in the presence of love. Oh Guys look at this is where the beef fountain originated from I feel like if you just let this run it just formed like a beefy Canyon and like a day My life will never be the same after this first of all I wish I had like some bread to dip into this grease. It's amazing flavorful puddles of beef sweat This part it's all crispy charred fat lean all different textures, dude You got to try this piece that Robbie just cut for me. I mean you had this before so, you know You literally you have to like you have to get a piece with the bottom where yeah, otherwise, it'll just rain beef Yeah, I mean you can really feel like crispy texture. Cheers Cheers, buddy That is just most how the seasoning so simple and this is already so beautiful You don't need to accessorize Halle Berry that much. She's gonna be gorgeous Whatever she wears. That's the fattiest piece of brisket I've ever had in my life in it does feel like you took a bite of a beef fruit like you pick up Yeah, you take a bite just like Alright, let's go. Let's go sit down and eat First of all, that was enlightening experience watching that thing cook Yeah, and you were telling me this is something that you can't really find anywhere else Each country cuts the cows are friendly and briskets like a u.s. Cut So to get a Japanese like wagyu farm to cut a specific brisket for this shop Like it took a lot of work like going around to different farms Yeah, and can finally convincing someone to do this It's not that much wagyu to begin like good wagyu to begin with a five wagyu. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wow Come closer to me. Thank you so much. Oh my gosh Ready to try it This might be one of the happiest days. Oh for me whatever wagyu is involved. You can't have a bad day I know right. I totally agree Wow but herb Butter melts in your mouth. Oh, I love the crushed this little end piece right here Mm-hmm, and also the fat that's like lining up right on the outside of the meat and this piece especially It's got nice a little char a little fat a little lean Hmm I Never even thought this was possible. I think this is the first restaurant to really do it I've never heard of it before if you ever had barbecue from Texas. Yeah brisket is keen Brisket in the barbecue world. It's like, you know, it wears the meaty crown and then taking that combining with the king of beef Yeah, right a5 wagyu. It's like a fusion of two cultures and really something you can't get anywhere else This is the ultimate meat empire here. Yeah, I mean The king of the king of beef. Yeah, this is the ultimate partnership east-west Collaboration and the pieces are so incredibly incredibly soft normal It's already pretty like fatty and juicy. So it's like double the flavor but also Double the juiciness. Yeah, and there's a tiny like a very evident smoke ring. So some pieces like don't even have it So the way the fat like caramelizes wagyu beef compared to US beef It doesn't really a form a smoke ring that you're probably used to back home, right? Then again, like no one's really smoking wagyu like this shop was kind of the first to do it They kind of created the technique themselves They've been doing it for a few years now and it's been fine-tuned and creates what you have in front of you right now It's okay, man. You don't need a ring. Yeah This thing will still marry you What we had in the kitchen was the fattiest piece Yeah, that was literally like fountain of beef and then you get out here. You're having some of the stuff I feel like you need a little assist. Yeah, it definitely helps with it and it's crazy They're so generous with the portions here. Usually when you're eating wagyu, it's probably like a few ounces This is like straight up 11 to 12 ounces of it for like 35 bucks. This is by far one of the most unique cuts of meat So if you really like wagyu and you really like brisket You guys got to come here and try it out and I always look for a really interesting wagyu experiences to try So this has definitely been one of the most unique ones So thanks so much for showing me and you guys do a lot of this stuff on your on your Facebook page Yeah, yeah, we do.
