We checked out the restaurant based on your recommendation and were 100% NOT disappointed! Was the most memorable meal of our lives. Keep up the awesome work guys.
Firstly, don't want to start an argument but people can eat whatever they want. I kinda dislike how a lot of people are being pushy to Simon and Martina to be vegan/vegetarian (it's fine to suggest and so on in my opinion), personally I'm not either but I'm friends with some and it's nice to experience some foods they love but to each their own. These two youtubers are not going to be any less amazing and wonderful than they already are by continuing to eat meat, just love them for who they are, and if you're uncomfortable kindly move on to another video :) (This is just in response to comments who are like "You guys are cool but you eat meat" and so on, don't degrade someone just because of their eating preferences)
+Gyggzify ah, I don't mind it. I mean, it's helping us consider Veganism. We're not convinced yet, but we're looking into it, and that's thanks to the commenters. Some people are a bit too convinced by veganism and think it'll cure Martina's DNA (which it won't) but it's helping us think about alternative health, at least. I appreciate the sentiment :)
+mikekun15 she went once, and it wasn't really eventful, but she's supposed to go again. The first appointment was just introductions and assessments. Next appointment (in a couple of weeks) will try to change her pain meds. Hopefully they'll give her something that works!
I think its ok to eat meat once in a while. I love animals and the ideas behind veganism, but meat tastes really good too. I do know that the akita beef process is incredibly cruel but I would try it at least once in my life. I love Simon and Martina, and I don't think they deserve any type of hate, if people don't like what they do, they can kindly click away in my opinion. ✌
I suppose that did come out as the main message :) I don't mind people suggesting it, I just dislike it when people indicate that someone's less of a good person because of their diet choices ^^ If you wanna go vegan then I'll support you all the way!!
Apparently minding their own business is too difficult for them since being a dumb activist saves animals to them (guess what? these Internet activists aren't changing shit)
They are just rising the hate for veganism and vegetarianism. There are definitely better ways to approach this topic, am not a vegan or vegetarian but they're not doing themselves here a favor.
Our Kobe beef experience was otherworldly, but we were told by a friend that he'd take us somewhere better, for Akita beef. Is it better than Kobe beef? Will it live up to the hype. We'll just have to see!
This is literally the last video a vegan should be attacking... the cattle in Japan are raised with incredible care and many of them in what would be considered luxury even to some humans. Then again vegans tend to wrap themselves in a bubble of people who just constantly pat them on the back and justify their views of all animal products as evil.
D U I don’t see what’s so wrong with them. In fact, there’s probably more vegan haters than vegans that hate. Can’t you just let them eat what they want? They would probably be more accepting of eating this type of beef rather than commercial beef because they treat the animals well and respect them.
Thank you to whoever made Korean subtitles! I've seen a bunch of Korean subtitles submitted recently. Thank you, if it's you that's been doing them all :D
So when I get to come to Japan, thanks to you, I'll have a list of a number of places I will go to eat. I WILL be taking you out to go to which ever place you want to eat as you are among my favorite YT creators (since 2009). And I owe you.
I wanna try Martina's dukbokki and eomuk! In exchange I would make whatever you guys wanted!! Except I won't be in japan again any time soon I dont think :'( but if you're in the New York area again...I was one of your volunteers. I got Simon Hella fresh water!!
Lynne Bass The certificate won't bring the cow back. It's not like kids cows will see it and be proud of their mama cow for passing the best meat test. I still want to eat it thou.
RASHTG The whole point is for respect. This animal lost its life for us to enjoy and its loss should be respected and this is basically a good tribute to the animals life.
lol all these people judging you because you ate marvelous meat. enjoy some for me! it looks bomb!! ignore them dumb-asses. if they don't like it they can go somewhere else, then again, they are helping you with views so it's good that they keep on clicking. love your channel!
We aren't dumb. In fact all vegans are well educated. That's why we gave up meat. For the environment, for our bodies, for the animals, for the starving children, and basically everything.
cT_Psycho when did I say meat eaters are dumb? I said vegans aren't dumb. some meat eaters are very smart in some areas. vegans are just some of the smartest if we're talking about the nutrition area.
+troye sivan's mum lmao nutrition area dont be stupid and anectodal. Use real research. Vegans are one of the shittiest area where people go based on many facts
It looks delicious but knowing the cow's name, seeing the nose print, death certificate, and family tree information sitting right there and then you have to eat the cow kind of creeps me out. Like I love meat but I do feel bad they had to die... Personalizing it to the point it almost seemed like a pet and then killing it and serving it makes the guilt even worse.
No I disagree, truly appreciating the cow's meat and knowing it was raised well is much better than mindlessly eating it in a burger in maccys. I'd say if you're gonna eat meat this is the best way to do it, know exactly where it came from and appreciate how good it tastes.
+Faye Shaw you can disagree all you want. It's great if it was raised better than other cows. Still creeps me out personally and makes me feel bad. Lol
You know why you're feeling bad? Because you have a fucking heart. You are actually a decent human being. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself. Watch Earthlings, Cowspiracy, and Best Speech You Will Ever Hear on YT.
Many people watched those and they still eat meat, I mean animals and humans have different value, I have no problem killing cockroach or vermin in my house but I should feel bad for eating cow? what next? you should feel bad for killing a mosquito? nature is all about death, and we human are part of nature.
I just checked the restaurant's website. The cheapest meal is $180 for 6 courses, and the most expensive is $300 for 9 courses. Still, for fine dining it seems reasonable, and if I had the money I would love to eat there.
Sable Rain I've honestly never eaten at a fine dining establishment before, so I can't compare either. Sadly, as Gina posted, there's the dilemma of going to Japan, I don't even have money for that. ;_; Maybe someday.
Terra J My parents sometimes take me out for fine dining, but I don't have the money for going to Japan right now either, haha. But, like you said...Maybe someday! ^_^

@@user-ul7li5mu1s I agree but the meat these guys ate has nothing to do with mass produced meat. Also I can't see nothing wrong with hunting for food or fishing. About the vegan diet I was a vegan for more than 20 years and what i can say is it is a one on one scenario. What can be good for you can be terrible for me. However (and with all due respect I ask) how come you came here to watch this video?
All these people condemning Simon and Martina for eating meat, you all better have never killed an insect after your conversion since all animals are equal after all. There are better ways to spread your message than with passive aggressive TH-cam comments on such a lovely couple's video.
I'm a vegetarian and I literally could give 0 shits about them eating beef. It is absolutely their choice what they consume. Although I wouldn't eat it this beef does look absolutely great so why shouldn't they enjoy it? As far as I'm concerned cows in countries like japan or korea even have a "happier" life than those in western countries so I think it's more acceptable to promote eating beef there :)
Thanks for the recommendation!! We ate here Friday night while on our Honeymoon in Japan. Found this video when searching for someplace special to eat. Everything was truly amazing!! Thank you!!
Vegetarian here, I could literally care less if you eat meat. Do I personally think it is wrong for myself to eat meat? Yes, because I don't feel comfortable consuming animals that were killed for the sole purpose of consumption. But do I think people are evil,wrong,ignorant for eating meat? No. Calm down. And p.s. to any vegans that say, "But eating milk/eggs/honey is wrong!" I don't drink milk or eat honey. I plan on becoming 100% vegan one day, but I'm working on it.
That's pretty awesome, good luck on you journey. Sometimes it takes some time for you to get there:) And if you wonder why some vegans are "pushy", watch Earthlings.
hammypie I watched Earthlings, while I agree the treatment of animals is horrific, pushy vegans annoy me. To me it's kind of like Christianity, hear me out for a second. There are many methods people use to try to get people to come to their religion, but perhaps the most successful is when people want to learn about it, and together they have a peaceful, open-minded discussion. One of the least successful methods is street preachers, people holding signs in the street that warn of damnation, and they usually scream in microphones angrily. All it does is make people pissed off, and turn away from you. I'm an atheist myself, but when I see vegans call omnivores who are educated about animal welfare, "awful" human beings for not becoming vegan, you're really just up on a high horse. It took me about a year to become vegetarian, and much longer to become vegan. For most people change doesn't happen overnight. Breaking habits is harder than just watching a documentary about animal abuse.
+Zurako desu exactly thank you! And I think people forget that we are a species as well and we are omnivores by nature, but if you personally wants to be a vegetarian or vegan? That's fine! Just don't shove your beliefs to other people so aggressively. On a side note: look at that beef!
Hahaha why are vegans pushing Martina to turn vegan?? WTF Japan is ranked SECOND for the country with the highest life expectancy rate! Look it up.. and guess what? We eat beef, pork, fish and etc..the key is balanced diet..vegetables and green tea are included in our diet. Monaco is also number one, and guess what? Vegans are almost unheard of (:
Asian countries have high life expectancy rates because up till recently, they had diets which were mainly vegetables with some fish. That is slowly changing, as Japanese begin to eat more meat. So..
BI OD Okinawa eats a lot of pork..look it up!! And Monaco is also ranked the first and they eat a lot of cheese and meat. Hong Kong is also ranked high, and they eat a lot of meat also. The key is to have unprocessed food. Like if you wanna eat meat, then fire it and have vegetables with it.
I never thought I'd see so many comments arguing about whether or not eating meat is bad. It's actually ridiculous. Stop pushing your beliefs on people. This goes for both ways. You do you and let them do them, okay? If you don't like meat, don't click on a video about it. It's really not that hard.
Just stumbled across your channel and can not believe I've gone this long without know who you guys are. YOU ARE AWESOME. My wife and I are going to Tokyo in a month, can't wait to watch all you're videos with her in preparation.
We just dined at Gomei Ginza Tokyo today from this video. I just had this Akita Waygu Tenderloin today. Simon and Martina your reactions were spot on. We were looking for the BEST Waygu in Tokyo and this video helped me make the final choice. Expensive meal, but our private room dinner from the exquisite Master Chef Yoshi was the perfect form of art, wonderful conversations and experience we will remember for a lifetime.
someone (a vegan person) took this video and wrote a blog about how disturbing it was that Simon and Martina enjoy their food in the way they always do, like porn? www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/4zu47t/happy_healthy_vegan_responds_to_simon_and/?compact=true
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo thank you for the sleep deprivation. I will no 100% hate work tomorrow cause I've watched way to many of your videos for one TH-cam sesh! Wicked pumped I found u guys. Can't wait to couch it tomorrow for some fresh (for me anyway) vids...... Gnight!
This exchange just happened. me: Hey you ever hear of Akita beef? mom: is there an akita beef? me: i dont know, there kobe. *insert insane laughter* 😂😂 one of those once in a lifetime moments.
Simon and Martina. You guys go on being you. Don't let people bully you into anything. I think Thatvegancouple should have reached out to you on their own instead of sending a crap load of people at you. If you are anything like me it will just make you hate the thought of being vegan. I've thought of going vegan for about a year now and honestly its people like that that bully others about their choices that make me rebel and not go vegan
+jemmasmom1 Thevegancouple made a public video to reach other people, thats why they dont send them a privet message. And i think it is good that you dont want to be vegan anymore, if you do something for other people or if you are afraid what other people might think of you, i think than you have to learn first a lot in your life.
its the bullies in the vegan world that piss me off and make me want to rebel from the crap. making a video about someone to send a bunch of people to bully them isn't the right way to reach most people its going to turn them off from whatever you are suggesting.
jemmasmom1 i understand that. But a lot of vegan youtuber turn a lot of people who never heard the world vegan (yes this people exsist haha) to think about their eating habits. And sometimes even the criticized youtuber itself. But you are right, to come to the youtuber channel and starting hating on them is wrong and shitty
I agree there are a lot of vegan youtubers that are great and pass the message on in the right way. i love watching several of them and to be honest eat a lot more vegan and vegetarian meals and really enjoy them. but its the ones that try to shame you into it instead of just letting people know the facts that turn me off of it completely. you can state the facts without shaming a person.
Thank you for doing up this video. We had planned to eat at this restaurant as a main highlight of our nov holiday in Japan because of your review. The dinner was magical and indescribable and we vow to back to eat again!
It's videos like these that explains why Simon and Martina get invited to film at really nice restaurants. They show so much joy while they eat the food. Chefs must love them.
@@manictiger Just remember that 3 years ago you wished death on people for inconviniencing you. I hope you grew as a person and learned that this is not the right behaviour towards any kind of human.
i can't help but wonder what all you vegans and vegetarians have in your head to leave such hateful comments on simon and martina's video. you have your own beliefs, don't try to make other people like you, god created animals to be eaten, humans need the fats and nutrients from the meat, if you are so butthurt about people eating meat, you should stop nature's cicle and make animals stop eating each other, make the lion from the jungle stop eating the poor giraffe because it is cruel, and so on. i'm honestly not trying to offend anyone, i'm just speaking out my mind. meat has been eaten ever since life on earth was created, it's nothing new to the world to eat a good piece of beef, bacon, etc. i can't help myself to not comment when people are so mean, about a piece of meat, life has a cicle, one dies, another one is born. cruel or not, all you vegans ate meat, you ate a good piece of pork, beef, you ate fish, honey, omelettes etc, you do not have any right to judge.
NO VEGANS ARE HEALTHY, U DONT NEED MEAT TO BE HEALTHY. EATING MEAT = YOU AGREE TO ANIMAL ABUSE!!!!!! BE A VEGAN NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!! JUSTICE FOR ANIMALS!!!!!!!!
You know, if we eating this extremely delicious food, our food standard rise. Its like when you eat something good but less better then this your tongue says "Nah, my standard is high"
That certificate is so interesting! I'd love to have that kind of thing on meat products, I love knowing the history of what I'm eating, the life of the animal, etc. I remember eating at a small farm where the owner could tell us which animal went into making each dish and you could see the life they enjoyed. It's great to know where your food comes from and understand the care and processes that go into food production.
Freya Porter " I remember eating at a small farm where the owner could tell us which animal went into making each dish and you could see the life they enjoyed." Are you saying that when the farmer showed you the slaughter process it was similar to the way your grandparents slaughtered animals on their smallholding?
Smithpolly Yep, the way they spoke about the animal and their care and slaughter methods was very similar. I find that most farmers are very respectful of animals and passionate about their care and quality of life. If you're interested in food production, you should definitely check your local small farms to see if they have dining experiences.
Ninjanugets123 Ummm because they're letting people know which cow they ate and the background of that cow... and it even had the nose print on there... like idk to me it's sad as fuck
+Ninjanugets123 You obviously don't get my point 😂😂 why would you serve someone meat but then give them a damn certificate and go like "Oh by the way, here's the cow we slaughtered and served to you. Everything on the certificate tells you about the cow."
When i watched u guys eating that piece of beef, i could see how the beef was out of this world, i cried a little because of happiness! :) That must have been an emotional experience.
We've been to Sweden a couple of times and we love it there! Stockholm is gorgeous. And we just watched the episode of Brooklyn 99 with the two Swedish cops and we laughed a lot. Is it true that Swedish people don't like Danish people, or was that just a joke? Either way, we still love Sweden :D
Simon: "This here is the nose stamp of the cow, and every cows nose is unique kinda like a fingerprint. I did not know that." Me: "Well, now you NOSE." We all nose it now.
I'm sure it's delicious af, but I must not be used to seeing meat anymore. This doesn't look good at all to me xD I used to love meat but the look of this doesn't entice me :p
We were there for lunch today... first time in Japan and I had the lunch planned earlier than our accomodation 😄 It was FANTASTIC. An incredible experience, service and food were unreal. And the chef... don’t get me started! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
I'm going to nitpick a bit, seems every bite had wasabi on it. How in the world could one taste the true character of the beef with such a potent side included?
I totally know what your'e saying, but those were only the bites you saw on camera. I personally enjoyed it the most on its own or gently dipped in the salt they provided. I thought the wasabi was too overpowering with the steak but near the end of the meal it worked to balance out all the buttery and creamy flavours going on in my mouth. So I would recommend only enjoyed it with wasabi near the end of the meal. 😊
People checking this video now- when it was first posted- there were indeed a fuckton of vegan comments getting really angry over this. thankfully it got flushed down from the other comments watching the video later.
They can eat wat they want. Seriously these triggered vegans ranting about eating meat. If they find it disgusting, how about leaving? There is obviously meat in the goddamn thumbnail. "Go be a vegan" how about minding your own business and eat you ur vegetables.
Loveee Ai I'm agree with you people, we shouldn't come here complaining about eating meat because it's a video about meat and everybody knew it. But I have to tell you something: nope it's not a personal choice, because you're affecting others with your choice. So it is not just personal, if you want to go to the cinema, that is a personal choice, because has consequences just on you and nobody else. And second: you guys eating like you eat, well you're actually pushing your beliefs to that animal who doesn't deserve to die for your taste, and you're pushing your beliefs on me and the rest of the world too, obligating me and others vegans, in an unsustainable, unethical, polluted world. I'm just refuting your statement for what I've read, no hate. I'm just saying you presented some logical fallacy here mate.
Hey Marco, speaking of unsustainable, please research "peak phosphorus." I think that you'll find that a planet full of 8 billion vegans would also be unsustainable not to mention the pollution generated from phosphorus. Phosphate mining is destructive and dangerous. Omnivore eating habits is actually more sustainable and causes less pollution overall.
All the "look at me I'm vegan" comments are pathetic lol. Sometimes I get the impression that a lot of vegans only became vegans so they could tell other people about it. If you're a vegan, good for you, but you're not a special little snowflake. It's like people who donate money to charity and feel the need to talk about it all the time to show everyone how good they are.
I made reservations at Ginza Gomei for my Japan vacation last month BC of your video! Thank you so much! Worth every yen! Not one dish disappointed or fell short. And the AKITA BEEF!!! I see why you teared up now
We checked out the restaurant based on your recommendation and were 100% NOT disappointed! Was the most memorable meal of our lives. Keep up the awesome work guys.
That is so great to hear! Wasn't the customer service amazing? It was like having a butler around...
We ate here tonight. Believe the hype. Ask for Kyo because he's the friendliest and best chef they've got.
YAA!!! It was amazing right? We're not exaggerating. :)

Where and how much? Looks mouthwatering... and expensive.
As soon as Martina said how good the beef was, my dog came over and started sniffing my laptop xDD

Lal Ramdina SAMEEE i wish i found then earlier this channel is bomb😍
So happy you guys are not vegans! Love the video & BEEF
+Yoanna Marinova at least they aren't spreading that poisonous propaganda you people are spreading
+Yoanna Marinova Hahahaha TRUUUE
So you wouldnt like them if they were vegans? Rude.
They're actually considering it
Yet a lot of people do it
I am vegetarian and I have enjoyed watching how these 2 guys ate meat. Not all vegetarians are of hysterical nature.
daniel gc thank you
Congratulations
@@user-ul7li5mu1s Health.
But I started eating fish and eggs once/twice a week. No longer a vegetarian.
@@user-ul7li5mu1s Same reason I would enjoy a debate with people of different ideologies. There is always something to learn.
@@user-ul7li5mu1s I agree but the meat these guys ate has nothing to do with mass produced meat. Also I can't see nothing wrong with hunting for food or fishing.
About the vegan diet I was a vegan for more than 20 years and what i can say is it is a one on one scenario. What can be good for you can be terrible for me.
However (and with all due respect I ask) how come you came here to watch this video?
can we all take a moment to talk about how fabulous simon's dinner jacket is?!
I saw a lot of comments complaining about vegans but I didn't see a single comment from a vegan who's complaining😐
ShuuAkai im doint the same thing with the same result as you rn
ShuuAkai It's because the triggered Vegan comments were from when t was first uploaded.
ShuuAkai ..there were actually plenty of vegans complaining in this video..i've read it before..simon and martina even replied to those comments XD
CLEMM Mm yes I looked again and after some highspeed scrolling I found them
That's because people hate vegans for doing what they can't
All these people condemning Simon and Martina for eating meat, you all better have never killed an insect after your conversion since all animals are equal after all. There are better ways to spread your message than with passive aggressive TH-cam comments on such a lovely couple's video.
I heard about A5 beef from Shokugeki no soma aka food wars😂😂
exactly.
Same! 😂
lmao same!
Yes!!
ikr . hahahah
you guys just had a shokugeki no soma moment LOL
True..Love Shokugeki no souma and excited to watch season 2.
+Tasfin Ahmed the first episode of season 2 is already out! Someone has already uploaded the HD version onto TH-cam. :D
+MiyukiLanthe Already saw it on kissanime...And I am very hyped for this season ... :D
+Tasfin Ahmed SAAAME SO EXITED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!
ERMAGERD YESSSSS SO KEEN SOOO GOOD :o
I'm a vegetarian and I literally could give 0 shits about them eating beef. It is absolutely their choice what they consume. Although I wouldn't eat it this beef does look absolutely great so why shouldn't they enjoy it? As far as I'm concerned cows in countries like japan or korea even have a "happier" life than those in western countries so I think it's more acceptable to promote eating beef there :)
If you wanted to try kobe beef would you try it? Just asking
Then why would you watch this? Too much free time on your hands.
"This food, it doesn't have a taste.... it has an emotion"
My favorite quote of 2016
Thanks for the recommendation!! We ate here Friday night while on our Honeymoon in Japan. Found this video when searching for someplace special to eat. Everything was truly amazing!! Thank you!!
That is so great!! I hope it was as amazing as it was when we went. Wasn't the service totally amazing? I felt like royalty.
Vegetarian here, I could literally care less if you eat meat.
Do I personally think it is wrong for myself to eat meat? Yes, because I don't feel comfortable consuming animals that were killed for the sole purpose of consumption.
But do I think people are evil,wrong,ignorant for eating meat?
No.
Calm down.
And p.s. to any vegans that say, "But eating milk/eggs/honey is wrong!"
I don't drink milk or eat honey. I plan on becoming 100% vegan one day, but I'm working on it.
it's like they purposely clicked on the video to get offended
That's pretty awesome, good luck on you journey. Sometimes it takes some time for you to get there:) And if you wonder why some vegans are "pushy", watch Earthlings.
hammypie I watched Earthlings, while I agree the treatment of animals is horrific, pushy vegans annoy me.
To me it's kind of like Christianity, hear me out for a second.
There are many methods people use to try to get people to come to their religion, but perhaps the most successful is when people want to learn about it, and together they have a peaceful, open-minded discussion.
One of the least successful methods is street preachers, people holding signs in the street that warn of damnation, and they usually scream in microphones angrily. All it does is make people pissed off, and turn away from you.
I'm an atheist myself, but when I see vegans call omnivores who are educated about animal welfare, "awful" human beings for not becoming vegan, you're really just up on a high horse. It took me about a year to become vegetarian, and much longer to become vegan.
For most people change doesn't happen overnight.
Breaking habits is harder than just watching a documentary about animal abuse.
+Zurako desu exactly thank you! And I think people forget that we are a species as well and we are omnivores by nature, but if you personally wants to be a vegetarian or vegan? That's fine! Just don't shove your beliefs to other people so aggressively.
On a side note: look at that beef!
You know they are eating beef why click on it?
Another thing on the list of food I want but can never afford.
Hahaha why are vegans pushing Martina to turn vegan?? WTF Japan is ranked SECOND for the country with the highest life expectancy rate! Look it up.. and guess what? We eat beef, pork, fish and etc..the key is balanced diet..vegetables and green tea are included in our diet. Monaco is also number one, and guess what? Vegans are almost unheard of (:
www.infoplease.com/world/statistics/life-expectancy-country.html
Asian countries have high life expectancy rates because up till recently, they had diets which were mainly vegetables with some fish.
That is slowly changing, as Japanese begin to eat more meat. So..
BI OD Okinawa eats a lot of pork..look it up!! And Monaco is also ranked the first and they eat a lot of cheese and meat. Hong Kong is also ranked high, and they eat a lot of meat also. The key is to have unprocessed food. Like if you wanna eat meat, then fire it and have vegetables with it.
in my country tooo. raw, boiled vegetables, fresh boiled fish, with boiled meat with fresh herbs. balanced diet is the key!
+Fatma less eat deep fried food. had a lot of boiled foods and raw vegetables
I never thought I'd see so many comments arguing about whether or not eating meat is bad. It's actually ridiculous. Stop pushing your beliefs on people. This goes for both ways. You do you and let them do them, okay? If you don't like meat, don't click on a video about it. It's really not that hard.
"This food doesn't have a taste, it has an emotion."
Amazing quote
Just stumbled across your channel and can not believe I've gone this long without know who you guys are. YOU ARE AWESOME. My wife and I are going to Tokyo in a month, can't wait to watch all you're videos with her in preparation.
Just curious, anybody else watching this after Strictly Dumplings' Kobe video? XD
Jacklin Carter yess
that pokemon example turned out unexpectedly good
has anyone tried making butter out of kobe cow and use that to cook the beef ?
Sam Wu They said it tastes buttery, it doesn't mean it will melt down like a butter for you to cook with it . Lol 😂
i had a brain fart thinking butter is made from cow fat, buts its made from milk. so nvm what i said
the fact is they dont cook with butter in the video its cooled fat from the beef itself
Sam Wu then use milk from a dairy cow that is pure for generations and treated like a Kobe cow and use that
Duru it would burn beforeca nice crust forms I think
We just dined at Gomei Ginza Tokyo today from this video. I just had this Akita Waygu Tenderloin today. Simon and Martina your reactions were spot on. We were looking for the BEST Waygu in Tokyo and this video helped me make the final choice. Expensive meal, but our private room dinner from the exquisite Master Chef Yoshi was the perfect form of art, wonderful conversations and experience we will remember for a lifetime.
I’m glad you liked it. We still think it’s an amazing place to eat :)
can someone explain why I'm seeing angry vegan comments on a video with Beef in the title...? o.O
because if angry vegans kept to their sad meatless diets, they wouldn't have any venue to whine about being angry vegans.
Because they feel triggered and want to subject themselves to something they know they hate.
It's because a fairly well-known vegan channel did a reaction to this video, pretty much.
Suffer In Silence ahh makes sense, thanks!
someone (a vegan person) took this video and wrote a blog about how disturbing it was that Simon and Martina enjoy their food in the way they always do, like porn?
www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/4zu47t/happy_healthy_vegan_responds_to_simon_and/?compact=true
Get you someone who looks at you the way Simon looks at Aya
you guys are relationship goals, keep up the good stuff!
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo thank you for the sleep deprivation. I will no 100% hate work tomorrow cause I've watched way to many of your videos for one TH-cam sesh! Wicked pumped I found u guys. Can't wait to couch it tomorrow for some fresh (for me anyway) vids...... Gnight!
+Daniel Lopez welcome to our channel!
This exchange just happened.
me: Hey you ever hear of Akita beef?
mom: is there an akita beef?
me: i dont know, there kobe.
*insert insane laughter* 😂😂 one of those once in a lifetime moments.
Simon and Martina. You guys go on being you. Don't let people bully you into anything. I think Thatvegancouple should have reached out to you on their own instead of sending a crap load of people at you. If you are anything like me it will just make you hate the thought of being vegan. I've thought of going vegan for about a year now and honestly its people like that that bully others about their choices that make me rebel and not go vegan
+jemmasmom1 Thevegancouple made a public video to reach other people, thats why they dont send them a privet message.
And i think it is good that you dont want to be vegan anymore, if you do something for other people or if you are afraid what other people might think of you, i think than you have to learn first a lot in your life.
its the bullies in the vegan world that piss me off and make me want to rebel from the crap. making a video about someone to send a bunch of people to bully them isn't the right way to reach most people its going to turn them off from whatever you are suggesting.
jemmasmom1 i understand that. But a lot of vegan youtuber turn a lot of people who never heard the world vegan (yes this people exsist haha) to think about their eating habits. And sometimes even the criticized youtuber itself.
But you are right, to come to the youtuber channel and starting hating on them is wrong and shitty
I agree there are a lot of vegan youtubers that are great and pass the message on in the right way. i love watching several of them and to be honest eat a lot more vegan and vegetarian meals and really enjoy them. but its the ones that try to shame you into it instead of just letting people know the facts that turn me off of it completely. you can state the facts without shaming a person.
jemmasmom1 yes you are right
Thank you for doing up this video. We had planned to eat at this restaurant as a main highlight of our nov holiday in Japan because of your review. The dinner was magical and indescribable and we vow to back to eat again!
That's fantastic to hear! We really felt like the service of the almost butler-like servers was awesome too.
It's videos like these that explains why Simon and Martina get invited to film at really nice restaurants. They show so much joy while they eat the food. Chefs must love them.
To all vegans: stop eating vegetables, they have souls and live among us! Eat some delicious bricks.
I recommend hydrogen cyanide.
You get to save rats while not eating anything with a soul! Double win!
photosynthesis ha ha...
Gergő Csere agreed
Gergő Csere ha ha ha
@@manictiger Just remember that 3 years ago you wished death on people for inconviniencing you. I hope you grew as a person and learned that this is not the right behaviour towards any kind of human.
i can't help but wonder what all you vegans and vegetarians have in your head to leave such hateful comments on simon and martina's video. you have your own beliefs, don't try to make other people like you, god created animals to be eaten, humans need the fats and nutrients from the meat, if you are so butthurt about people eating meat, you should stop nature's cicle and make animals stop eating each other, make the lion from the jungle stop eating the poor giraffe because it is cruel, and so on. i'm honestly not trying to offend anyone, i'm just speaking out my mind.
meat has been eaten ever since life on earth was created, it's nothing new to the world to eat a good piece of beef, bacon, etc. i can't help myself to not comment when people are so mean, about a piece of meat, life has a cicle, one dies, another one is born. cruel or not, all you vegans ate meat, you ate a good piece of pork, beef, you ate fish, honey, omelettes etc, you do not have any right to judge.
NO VEGANS ARE HEALTHY, U DONT NEED MEAT TO BE HEALTHY. EATING MEAT = YOU AGREE TO ANIMAL ABUSE!!!!!! BE A VEGAN NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!! JUSTICE FOR ANIMALS!!!!!!!!
You know, if we eating this extremely delicious food, our food standard rise.
Its like when you eat something good but less better then this your tongue says "Nah, my standard is high"
This is exactly how the aliens will explain why certain humans are tastier than others.
lol xDDDD "LOVE IS THE MOMENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" xD the heirs though 3:47
;)
That certificate is so interesting! I'd love to have that kind of thing on meat products, I love knowing the history of what I'm eating, the life of the animal, etc. I remember eating at a small farm where the owner could tell us which animal went into making each dish and you could see the life they enjoyed. It's great to know where your food comes from and understand the care and processes that go into food production.
So you saw the animals being slaughtered?
+Smithpolly My grandparents owned a smallholding so yep, I'm used to that!
Freya Porter " I remember eating at a small farm where the owner could tell us which animal went into making each dish and you could see the life they enjoyed."
Are you saying that when the farmer showed you the slaughter process it was similar to the way your grandparents slaughtered animals on their smallholding?
Smithpolly Yep, the way they spoke about the animal and their care and slaughter methods was very similar. I find that most farmers are very respectful of animals and passionate about their care and quality of life. If you're interested in food production, you should definitely check your local small farms to see if they have dining experiences.
Freya Porter What were their slaughter methods?
The certificate... is that really necessary? That's just fucken sad, like why is that certificate even necessary?
Btw, IT'S FUCKEN RAW!!!!!! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!
why is it sad...?
Ninjanugets123 Ummm because they're letting people know which cow they ate and the background of that cow... and it even had the nose print on there... like idk to me it's sad as fuck
lol you think the cows you ate before didnt have any of that?
+Ninjanugets123 You obviously don't get my point 😂😂 why would you serve someone meat but then give them a damn certificate and go like "Oh by the way, here's the cow we slaughtered and served to you. Everything on the certificate tells you about the cow."
秋田県人です。間接的な秋田でしたが、紹介してくれてありがとう！本当に嬉しかったです♪
300 dollars oh my lord!!
EACH
+Estheris Bach holy crap! that's a once in a lifetime meal. they won't be eating that again anytime soon.
Well it makes sense, did you see what they had before the beef? Those are all luxury foods
I think it is cheap for THAT meal , in Europe just a spaguetti with black tartufo (that black truffe) could cost 200 dolars by himself !
Lol.. I wouldn't say its 'Cheap' but for a 9 course meal including seafood and A5 beef is justified.
its almost 00 am and i stupidly watching this, i love them both and beef and food and food and food and food, also food😂
You're not the only one :(
how about food?
+April R yeah sure! and dont forget about food!
MOOOOVIES and butter searing food porn sex talk earned my sub
+Christian Holmlund welcome to our channel!
Which beef cut did you get? The filet or the Chateaubriand? And your channel rocks! Im gonna try this and Saitayama!
Why can't we just respect that some people eat meat and some people choose not to?
if you guys moved back to canada are you guys gonna name yourselves eatyourpoutine?
don't listen to this around family without headphones in....
OH SO HAWT
And here I am. 12 am, eating instant ramen, watching people eating fancy food.
That’s okay. I sometimes watch my own fancy videos back while eating instant ramen 😂
the disconnect in this video....
I can never watch simon and martina with speaker and be safe
This are the moment that I envy billionaires because with that kind of money I could enjoy this kind of food everyday.
When i watched u guys eating that piece of beef, i could see how the beef was out of this world, i cried a little because of happiness! :) That must have been an emotional experience.
everyones talking about salty vegans in comment section but i dont see any -_-
Got drowned with all other positive comments. Ignore those saltiness... And enjoy more of Simon and Martina's content.
Most of us will never taste this food in our life. FeelsBadMan
Was the meal very pricy ?
Yes it was.
According to the Ginza Gomei Restaurant website, dinner course menu starts at $300USD/person. Probably worth it looking at their menu..!
I love that both of you don't just eat the food, you FEEL it! hahahah
Keep bringing those awesome videos!
This made me think of Shokugeki No Soma lol
That certificate somehow made me sad for some reason...I love my beef but I feel bad 😭 The poor cow and its family...is tasty...but still.
Also I love you guys so much
We've been to Sweden a couple of times and we love it there! Stockholm is gorgeous. And we just watched the episode of Brooklyn 99 with the two Swedish cops and we laughed a lot. Is it true that Swedish people don't like Danish people, or was that just a joke? Either way, we still love Sweden :D
same! its funny how the most random people can be so captivating to watch! :)
Simon: "This here is the nose stamp of the cow, and every cows nose is unique kinda like a fingerprint. I did not know that."
Me: "Well, now you NOSE."
We all nose it now.
beef is life >.
No it's actually death >.
Yas beef is fucking life :) yummy
+troye sivan's mum so we had climbed up on top op the food chain by our ancestors for thousands of years just to eat vegetables? Lol
Mailene Buenconsejo there was a food chain we climbed?
yes people will never stop eating meat get use to it
I'm sure it's delicious af, but I must not be used to seeing meat anymore. This doesn't look good at all to me xD I used to love meat but the look of this doesn't entice me :p
That's what I thought! :D
Totally agree, never thought I'd get to this point, but I just don't find meat appetising to watch or look at at all.
I think I am also at this point. It doesn't look like food to me anymore.
yup. cringed through all the closeups
That's me now. But their reactions make up for it, it's so funny how much they enjoy it 😂
it must be very very expensive. I want some. when heard Akita I thought of the Japanese's breed Akita dog.
omg I did too and literally freaked out and almost cried, my akita is my life.
No worries, I think Akita is just, like, the region, I highly doubt Simon and Martina would ever eat dog meat on the channel
Akita is just the name of the region, that can also include the name of the dog breed. A lot of Japanese product is labeled by region.
the complete meal is 30 000 yen so 300$
We were there for lunch today... first time in Japan and I had the lunch planned earlier than our accomodation 😄 It was FANTASTIC. An incredible experience, service and food were unreal. And the chef... don’t get me started! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
New subscriber. I'm so early XD
Welcome to our channel! Thank you for subscribing. I hope you like our videos :D
i am going to watch all the old videos ! stay awesome !!
OH don't watch the really old ones. Our ones from, like, 6-8 years ago are really bad and boring. SO BAD.
I did watch several videos from 5 years ago. they are still cool !!! I LOVE MARTINA'S HAIR SO MUCH ALENCIEHHFLNCE
+Simon and Martina Yea I loved ur videos from way back when too... I don't comment alot but I watch everytime a notification pops up
"like... a mother's love... and world peace." 😅😅😅😅
1:22 That cow wasn't slaughtered; she was consecrated. Aya thus ascended to a higher plane _(or plate, in this case)_ of existence... XD
How much did this meal cost? Or specifically how much did the beef cost? per piece. Thank you.
I'm going to nitpick a bit, seems every bite had wasabi on it. How in the world could one taste the true character of the beef with such a potent side included?
I totally know what your'e saying, but those were only the bites you saw on camera. I personally enjoyed it the most on its own or gently dipped in the salt they provided. I thought the wasabi was too overpowering with the steak but near the end of the meal it worked to balance out all the buttery and creamy flavours going on in my mouth. So I would recommend only enjoyed it with wasabi near the end of the meal. 😊
R.I.P. AYA ):
The sexualisation of the meat is over the top.
Lol! "This food doesn't have a taste, it has an emotion." Love it.
Speaking of Pokemon, where are all my Pokemon GO players at!!! 👍
Not in Canada, nor in Korea DDDDD;
Aww that stinks 😕. Hopefully it gets to you guys soon!
Not in Europe TT__TT
😕
Here in New York! :D
I miss the old Simon and Martina lol
Holy moley, there is a whole lot of backlash on this video. Angry vegans: Veganism is not for everyone. Just stop.
where is the restaurant ? and how much did it cost? do you need any special reservations?
People checking this video now- when it was first posted- there were indeed a fuckton of vegan comments getting really angry over this. thankfully it got flushed down from the other comments watching the video later.
Triggered vegans incoming. It says it's about meat, you click on it, and SUPRISE! it's about meat. and you get triggered
why smearing wasabi on the best beef availible?
Hilarious intro. Did she drool during the evolution comparison?!? Hahaha
They can eat wat they want. Seriously these triggered vegans ranting about eating meat. If they find it disgusting, how about leaving? There is obviously meat in the goddamn thumbnail. "Go be a vegan" how about minding your own business and eat you ur vegetables.
Your*
Loveee Ai I know right if you are vegan that's great good for you but don't get all judgemental on ppl who choose not to
Loveee Ai I'm agree with you people, we shouldn't come here complaining about eating meat because it's a video about meat and everybody knew it. But I have to tell you something: nope it's not a personal choice, because you're affecting others with your choice. So it is not just personal, if you want to go to the cinema, that is a personal choice, because has consequences just on you and nobody else. And second: you guys eating like you eat, well you're actually pushing your beliefs to that animal who doesn't deserve to die for your taste, and you're pushing your beliefs on me and the rest of the world too, obligating me and others vegans, in an unsustainable, unethical, polluted world. I'm just refuting your statement for what I've read, no hate. I'm just saying you presented some logical fallacy here mate.
Hey Marco, speaking of unsustainable, please research "peak phosphorus." I think that you'll find that a planet full of 8 billion vegans would also be unsustainable not to mention the pollution generated from phosphorus. Phosphate mining is destructive and dangerous. Omnivore eating habits is actually more sustainable and causes less pollution overall.
cwtrex kf
All the "look at me I'm vegan" comments are pathetic lol. Sometimes I get the impression that a lot of vegans only became vegans so they could tell other people about it. If you're a vegan, good for you, but you're not a special little snowflake. It's like people who donate money to charity and feel the need to talk about it all the time to show everyone how good they are.
I haven't seen a single vegan complaining in the comments section? Only people bitching *about* vegans.
They are literally everywhere
Here comes the vegANS RUN SIMON RUN MARTINA RUUUUUUUUUUUN
I made reservations at Ginza Gomei for my Japan vacation last month BC of your video! Thank you so much! Worth every yen! Not one dish disappointed or fell short. And the AKITA BEEF!!! I see why you teared up now
