All You Can Eat A5 WAGYU BEEF in Tokyo Japan!

First bite of Wagyu and literally have tears forming 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 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 to just daydreaming and thinking back about my meal, that deliciously tender, melty beef. But the thing is, that thing is not cheap. Now, I always thought that wouldn't it 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 gonna serve you all-you-can-eat Kobe steak. They go out of business in a day Especially if I'm going there, but I did find a place that served all-you-can-eat A5 Wagyu. That's good enough for me. Let's go They're gonna bring all the meats on this menu and this whole thing is 6,200 yen. It's about 60 bucks and this is all A5 Wagyu So you get beef tongue, short ribs, roast, aichibon, beef rib roast, rib finger meat, tender meat from around the shoulder, a couple beef loins, beef shoulder, superior galbi, and then you got a pork short rib, pork belly, chicken thigh, which Honestly, 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 plate of beef 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 And the rest you guys see this is A5 Kuroge beef and Kuroge beef So just really quickly about the meat. Wagyu literally means Japanese cattle and A5 is the highest possible Quality of Japanese cattle. Kuroge is actually a category that includes Meats from Kobe and Kuroge 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. You guys see the crazy Crazy marbling and it looks like almost it's almost like half marbling, half lean meat That that is what makes A5 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 meat two at a time and guys time's a ticking away I gotta start. First thing I'm gonna start with is this is the this is from a shoulder This is a 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 more of a leaner cut I think this is pretty good. Soy sauce Or a spider 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, 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. 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 gonna put down a bunch of different meats because I each piece is gonna 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 Think this is the loin. I believe these are the short ribs and The rib finger meat The beef is just Rendering it as own fats. Look at that You see the fat kind of dissipating all that juice is just seeping into the meat itself This piece is definitely done. Give it just a bit of salt This is my preferred way of eating this The juiciest Steaks you could ever have look how much fat is on this one might have overcooked a little bit Apologize, excuse me for that. Yeah a little bit of salt That was my favorite piece so far Mmm, there were still a lot of fat on that piece of meat and the difference when there's just more fat on the meat Is that it's 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 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 gonna 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're 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 it's 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 Oh The tongue actually got a nice punch 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 It's so ridiculous. Oh Whatever I just ate, that was a beef cloud. If beef clouds exist, I just ate it. I'm not happy about this but I'm gonna 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 royalty. I just had so much meat and fat. I gotta eat a little vegetable This is the reset button, you know Pork belly is good, it's fatty, really nice clean flavor, it's juicy, it's delicious It's 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 stands between me and Wagyu right now, that's my enemy All right, so I start ordering the second round. I got short rib and roast, but the bad thing is I'm filming so I'm slow So I only got 30 minutes left. Short rib and roast I think the short rib is what I love the most on the last round. Look at look at the fat that's on this thing Look how fatty this is. Compared to the roast which is already so marbled it could be carved into a statue The roast is just oh, there's so much good. I think this piece is gonna just be glorious All right, this stuff needs to go on now I've been eyeing this piece of roast Roast I think it's the number one thing here. The roast with the extra fat, this is life-changing, guys You bite into that, it's like a fatty sponge. All that juice just leaks out on the first bite. The beef short rib is good Can't compete with the roast The short rib is leaner Still ridiculously juicy, but the roast is where it's at. Okay, 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've only was able to get two more reorders So if you guys come here and do recommend that you do because this is one of the most amazing All-you-can-eat 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 achibon. The achibon is a little leaner I think I'm gonna love the beef rib roast Get that. Come here, beef rib roast, get it. Get a lot of it You guys can be really happy. The achibon looks like a much more leaner cut of meat Get that too. It's leaner, but holy cow, just pun intended, 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 So I'm just gonna keep this here That looks like good meat right there. That's cooked. I'm gonna put it back on my sushi. A little wasabi That was awesome. My last beef 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. That's not right I'm trying to get people out of there I understand that, we're eating the heck out of their A5, but cutting the steak 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 could 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 Wagyu. 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 eating 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. Alright, 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 gonna tell you guys it's changing as we speak Because originally where this was supposed to be was I found an all-you-can-eat A5 Wagyu place And that was supposed to be it. 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-on So they cook everything in front of you and it's not gonna be thinly slices of meat So the first all-you-can-eat Wagyu place is yakiniku style Which you grill it 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 Kuroge Wagyu, Wagyu shimohori, and akami teppan 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 compote Look at the marbling on the steak, insanely excited I could eat A5 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, A5 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 And that's a little stomach feeling White asparagus is really, really mushy. Beef's got really good flavor Second piece. First time I've ever had A5 beef cold, and man, all that beef is juicy The second course, Voltage of Taro scent of Voltargo. So this is what I ride for course two It's some kind of taro soup. Tastes kind of like a potato soup, not too flavorful But not bad. Now I get the oysters are just fillers, but these look darn good I like fresh oysters. 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 A5 Wagyu, there's so much marbling that cooking it to this temperature It's actually okay. This is the fillet. So it is a lot more lean Kuroge A5 This is lean fillet, I mean it's just salt and pepper and the Japanese eat it by giving a little bit of wasabi 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 and more fat content is in the roast. Look at that This is gonna be so bloody amazing Go a little wasabi. It's not really strong wasabi I'm losing my mind right now. If you guys like fat I mean, this is not for everybody if you like a fatty piece of beef And you know 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 flood like just floods your mouth every bite you take and it sends you to beef 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 a fatter piece of wagyu. You can see all the marbling like even after it's cooked You see all that right there? That's the stuff that's gonna dissolve on your tongue when you put this in your mouth Especially top quality wagyu will be the juiciest steak you will ever have in your life. I'm thinking it's about 60% marbling 60% fat That cut is actually far superior to the kuroge which 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 Half my mouth just filling it up with juice and you wanted to be pulling 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 wizardly. 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'm sure 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 Pepper that just makes that beautiful beefy flavor even more pronounced this cut right here is the shimohari Which is the fatter cut of a five 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 What's ridiculous I could you guys does not because I eat a lot of steaks in the US a lean cut of a five wagyu Tastes better than any steak I've ever had in the US period more tender more flavorful more beefy Each bite just make you crave for more Get it get it more Mom sir, 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're eating oh my god The juice coming out of that steak. It's almost like the greatest beef stock you could ever imagine And it's all just like permeating your mouth. This is the Akami steak as you can tell a lot leaner Still tender though. I'm assuming this is gonna 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 I mean you can eat more of it because it's not Overwhelming you with the juice start with a shimohari and with the Akami and just keep going with the Akami That's how you're gonna get your value here Thank you Keep shoving those onions in your mouth All right It's like my fifth topping up steak the Akami and shimohari and you guys can see the difference side by side, right? You can see the marbling that's running through the shimohari right here. It's like a fatty River I probably have upwards of close to 30 ounces of steak tonight I think I gotta stop soon before I start to sweat to me. It's just so hard to stop because It is so ridiculously good I learned that a bite of shimohari and then a bite of Akami and then a bite of onions As 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 dinting the meat right now Look at this my chopsticks is like bruising the feet even by just gently poking it All right, my last few bites. I'm both sad and kind of relieved at the same time So I want that butter like steak to just kind of stay with me just a little while longer before we have to part ways It's a bittersweet farewell. I won't see each other again. So 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 compote and it looks like vanilla ice cream any type of ice cream Is a great way to wrap up a fantastic steak day, which today 100% was. All right So just comparing the last two all-you-can-eat wagyu places the first place definitely beats this place based on variety There are a lot more different cuts of meat 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 all you can do is eat beef for an hour By the way, I really didn't eat as much as I could have and I wish I did because it did taste really good So 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 $60 compared to the almost $100 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 beef 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 in my description box below. Thank you so much for watching until we eat again. See you later
