This BBQ was EXTREME! MASSIVE piece of mutton roasted on a charcoal fire in front of you and it's up to you to roast cut and eat! This was such a delicious BBQ experience in Japan. Then it was time for some sweet pies and a final Sukiyaki Hotpot with A5 Wagyu beef!

This is a really really popular area with a ton of restaurants and actually a lot of Chinese restaurants
And that's what I'm trying to find is this
This Chinese place that serves some amazing monster dinosaur like ribs
You know how much I love eating my dinosaurs
And I remember when I first moved to the US and I was watching the Flintstones
You know when like the rack of diner ribs was placed on the side of Fred's car and it tipped it over
I remember at that moment. I thought I like this guy. I like how he eats
It looks so amazing
This is it right here this big monster mutton leg. This place you can get seafood
Oh, let's get some dishes too
Kosher tea that looks good. Roasted gnocchi mushrooms. Oh that eggplant is awesome, too. Sun-dried potatoes
Wow
This looks like my type of place. Soup dumplings? What?
This is it. This is the monster mutton leg. Oh
There it is
Wow
Oh my god giant massive piece of mutton leg with the grease dripping
on the charcoal
You hear that little sizzle each time a piece of this grease drops onto the fire
This is just basically all fat
And then just cut the little pieces off
And we're gonna grill it on the grill
I feel like I kind of just want to start taking bites out of this while it's on the skewer
And when you're ready to eat add some dry spices add some of their homemade chili sauce on here
Dip it in here
Oh
That is good. The dry spices exactly what I want in my barbecue lamb. This reminds me of like lamb skewers
I used to have in China. A little salt, sesame, chili, cumin
All you need to make this already delicious piece of fatty meat even better or you could dip it in their little
homemade chili sauce
Oh my god just had a piece that was like 80% fat
This brings back good memories of street food in China
Wow, this is delicious cumin a little sesame little chilies
That's one of the best ways to barbecue meat
Especially lamb because it really eliminates any gameyness that's left
And this already doesn't really have much gamey flavor because they marinated a whole slab of meat already
This is as barbarically fun
And delicious as it looks you can just sit here and slowly do this slowly cut little pieces of meat off
And watch it sizzle
And fall on the bottom grill
But honestly, it does get a little crazy because you're trying to concentrate on cutting the meat
And then grilling it and then you gotta worry that you're not burning this whole big slab
Which is hard to do because this is so fatty. They can also
Um, take it back to the kitchen and cut it for you
All right, i'm sick of cutting this i'm gonna just have them take them take it back to the kitchen and just slice it up
And uh put it on the grill because I gotta get to eating
It depends on which kind of meat you're putting in your mouth some pieces a little more lean
Some are like
90 fat which
I love and some are just a perfect balance. You have a little chew. You got a little melt in your mouth action going
That was the kind of piece I was talking about great little char on the outside
And then just all
Multi-fat what I like to do is just dunk it into the dried chilies and salt and cumin
Just like the lamb barbecue of my youth
Perfect you guys gotta come and try this. This is all the meat cut up now. It becomes more of a
Easier barbecue
With something like this, you've got to get some greens
Otherwise after you eat this you're probably gonna walk outside and just dive straight to the concrete
That's how fast and hard that food coma is gonna hit you
You eat the mutton and also order something that the mutton would eat it's almost like a tribute this to this
to this
So awesome
Really good piece
I love it when I get a little crunchy bit and they already marinated the meat. So
The meat on its own already tastes really good
But nothing a little powdered chili couldn't make better
It's another good piece whatever things glisten
Whether it's a shiny car sparkly dress or a glistening piece of meat, you know, it's gonna be good
All right, I feel like after about six or so bites
That's when my body craves a little veggie garlic chopped up cucumbers
It's like a quick veggie shower for your mouth then it's right back to the meat
Oh, I found a piece of treasure on this meat plate very under all the meat
It's something even better than regular meat. It's a piece of the leg bone with the marrow still inside
Oh
Roasted marrow
Wow
I wish I had some little bits of toast or fresh steak or something to smear that on
There's a little bit of spices on here. It's a little hot
Meat by the bone
most flavorful kind
This has been an amazing lunch experience, but right after this
And I mean right after this we're going to lunch slash dinner number two because I didn't have any food till like 2 p.m
today and
I'm on a rampage
Let's go right before dinner. I gotta stop by white day. This place makes some crazy looking apple pies
Now personally, I believe when you have some apple pie
You need
Need some ice cream. So luckily
There's a mcdonald's right there. So let's ala mode. Well
Macamode this baby. This is a regular custard one. This is a white custard got my
Mcflurry what they don't really give you much today. Wow, mcdonald's. Come on
Wow, so this is the white custard
Apple pie huge chunks of apples
Flaky crust all that custard's on the bottom. Oh, that looks good
That is so good
So flaky and buttery it's just like a complete contrast of crispy skin and a creamy custard just melting around a little crisp
bites of apple
That was a hot delicious mess, oh that was so much better
I was like the only way to make the apple pie better was to scoop some ice cream on top of that baby
I love it when I can bring food so much together, you know apple pie
Mcdonald's soft serve I was wondering how my day could get better after that massive
delicious slab of meat I just barbecued but
This was it today. The blessing was the shape of an apple pie
in the mcdonald's arch
Right next door. I mean seriously right there
right here
That's love
He's a bit like james dean's silky hair if this is a dream
Everywhere you walk to in japan these little streets always shops and restaurants, of course vending machines
That's the place I was trying to get to
I'm about to have some of the best sukiyaki in tokyo and i'm at yocho imahan
This is supposed to be absolutely ridiculously good
And this thing it's especially this just looks like you see all the all the waves
It's like literally looking down from an airplane and seeing ridges of mountains covered in patches of snow
Literally one of the most beautiful food items you'll ever lay your eyes upon and I I just want to ski
Down those patches of snow down that little beefy mountain with tongue
Can I take a family photo just me and this beef?
I think i'll make a good couple, you know, like a little love photo and sukiyaki
You gotta have an array of vegetables some greens tofu fresh spring onions carrots
It's just a colorful medley that really is necessary in every sukiyaki meal
And of course cannot forget the shiitake mushrooms
The best way to taste really good wagyu beef is via sukiyaki
So basically what it does is the fat renders more in sukiyaki so you get more of the beef flavors
You're not just tasting the fat. That's why the top quality meats are usually used for sukiyaki
So one reason why this place is so famous they're cooking on a special cookware
They say adds a special flavor and deliciousness to the sukiyaki
And sukiyaki sauce, it's just a sweet soy sauce
And each side of this beef is so thin it's cooked for just a matter of seconds
And it's dipped in soy sauce
The reason this is dipped in raw egg yolk is a couple of reasons actually
One is that the sukiyaki the meat comes out very very hot
And so the raw egg cools the meat down a bit
And of course you can see all the great marbling of the beef
And the second thing the raw egg does because it's cooked in the sweet sauce of the sukiyaki sauce
It does tone down the sweetness a lot
Oh, that's amazing one of my favorite ways to indulge in A5 beef here in Japan
Just close your eyes and let all that marbling melt over your tongue and just great beefy flavors enhanced by this method of cooking
Shiitake mushroom just landed. That's one of my favorite ingredients
And with the sukiyaki also getting a side of maguro
It's like spring has arrived on a ship
It's a colorful dish and this dish is really eating the freshness of the ingredients
So all the veggies has to be just ridiculously fresh, especially the spring onions
This is really just I mean it's already glistening on its own but then with the bit of the egg on the outside
I'll never get sick of how buttery that thing is even more so now after it's dipped in egg
I recommend eating it a little hot tea
It's probably some of the most melt in your mouth gentlest fattiest surf and turf combo
You could ever have fresh shiitake mushroom, and they made a fresh
yolk dip in sauce for me
That's my favorite after the beef
Oh, that's sticky mushroom. Just what you can do right now because they make you a new sukiyaki dip in egg sauce
Dump the old ones on top where all the flavor is
And this is gonna be even better the creaminess the egg adds to this dish
And my next order of beef has arrived also
What's really good about this is when you start putting more and more cooked ingredients into the raw egg. You start making tamago. Look
Meat serving number two
And what you do with this fresh tamago right here
Put in your mouth
Ah so creamy and smooth this is true sukiyaki experience great way to enjoy the best quality meat best quality vegetables
What's crazy about this is the finale, you know how like some korean barbecues at the end
They make like some noodles or fried rice on the grill
But here they make you an omelet from all the great little bits of flavor left on the sukiyaki grill
If you don't automatically fall deeply madly
savagely in love with this egg
I really don't feel like we can be friends all that great juice has soaked into the rice down below sweet rich
Full umami flavor. It's also got a great beefy essence to say. This is a ridiculously happy ending
Will be a complete understatement
When you're in japan, you cannot miss a complete sukiyaki meal
This is one of the greatest food experiences not just flavor-wise just the whole experience today so much satisfaction massive mutton shank
Roasted over burning charcoal fire then coming over here and tasting something that is completely finesse and so attention to
Detail and attention to the quality of the ingredients. It's like completely different meals with like a mcdonald infused apple pie
In the middle of it and it's definitely 100% nap time after this as always
Of course all the places I went to listed down below for you guys. Thank you all so much for watching until we eat again
See you later
