Transcript
After walking a 100,000 steps on my last day in Tokyo, my victory meal was this two pound Wagyu steak from Coco Nemaru. They handle everything from the birth of the cows to the customer's first bite. They operate a thousand acre cattle farm in the Yamagata Prefecture. The meat is delivered straight from the farm to the restaurant, is never frozen, and is cut to order. What I love so much is it's a third generation family business with three brothers currently operating. The oldest runs the farm and the auctioning, Rio. The middle child runs the restaurant and meat packaging. And the youngest is a vet who tends the cattle and has perfected their diet by using local rice and fresh mountain water. Japanese Sabe here cooks the steak for you at your table as he studied farming and butchery for years at a militant like specialist school. This was legitimately the best steak I've ever had in my life. Tier crispy golden brown sear tasted like the edge of a crackling winter bonfire before dissolving into a sweet better richness. It was exactly what I needed after the longest day of my life. It worst 28,000 yen, which is a a tier USD, which I think is pretty cheap for two pounds of premium Wagyu. It can easily be split between three to four people. It also comes with sides, but I was too delirious.
