I love that this got pinned lol
Lol he said a big fuck your to your face with that pin 😂😂

Neckbeard larva
I was gonna go with full blown soy boy.
Every kobe steak is wagyu but not all wagyu is kobe.
Robby Pk you are right
that guy just got it all wrong. now we will see people eating "wagiyu" and disminishing "kobe" to hell .. meanwhile Matsuzaka cries, completely lost :-D
Wagyu also comes with different “brands,” as some brands are known to be more delicious than the others. For example, the Wagyu “big three” are Kobe Beef, Matsusaka Beef, and Omi/Yonezawa/Maesawa Beef. You might find a place that serves “Kobe Beef” for a low price, but now you can guess the reason. Even within Kobe Beef, the Wagyu ranking system is used. B4 Kobe Beef is served in many restaurants to save the cost.
Martin Sedivy then make a video about it
So which is better
There are several types of Wagyu including Kobe.
In recent years, the best Wagyu in Japan is beef from Tottori and Miyazaki.
veryone, please visit Japan to eat the best beef in Japan.

Love this video man thanks for sharing your experience
Excellent descriptions.
Thanks, excellent breakdown of information. Appreciate this.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Excellent presentation.
Im in tokyo right now and just had both kobe and waygu steak at a fancy steak restaurant. They were both absolutely amazing. The waygu tasted like butter and was mouth watering. The kovw was sooo soft and melted in my mouth. The kobe had more of a beef taste. Both were ammmmmazing, but also crazy expensive lol
And Amazing Thank You So Much. What a Great Lesson. I really Appreciate Your Knowledge. Cheers 🍻
Loved this review, earned a new sub
Thank you for making this!
I raise my own beef and that way I know what goes in to it..❤️💯
I have been to gyu Kaku in NYC and I had the wagyu and it was memorable and they also have the grill in the middle of the table and give marinades/seasonings and sauces. Best beef I've ever had.
Cool! making me hungry. love the interlude story about the old men and the alcohol. I envy the experience. doumo!
There is very little difference between A5 Wagyu and Kobe Beef.. I mean Kobe beef is essentially A5 Wagyu anyway, just raised in Kobe and held to their standards..
Great video. Got hungry from watching
Very interesting. I was in Japan many years ago while in the Navy. One evening I stopped into a restaurant had ordered Kobe beef for dinner. I was by myself. I couldn't find anyone else that wanted to go eat. They wanted to drink. I completely enjoyed this beef so tender I could cut it with the side of my fork. After 50+ years I can still remember how fantastic it tasted. Now, I ordered "Kobe" and now I learn about Wagyu. Might I have had Wagyu or was it Kobe? I can barely remember it was pretty well marbled but I can't tell how much after all this time. I'd like to try both again. Hmmmm, a trip to Japan in the future?
Webb Trekker Do you remember the name of the restaurant?
@@southernarawak5699 : We were in Yokosuka and it was in the military club called Club Alliance in an area of town called "Thieves Alley" by servicemen. As I understand it now that area has all been redeveloped onto high rise apartments and the like. The club might still be there. I'm unsure. This was back in 1968. The meat was fabulous.
Thank you for sharing this story, it was a nice one to hear
My buddy Travis and i took our gfs to a Japanese restaurant. There i was introduced to wagyuu beef. With the amount i had, i was in heaven.
Most “kobe” i’ve had in US is actually wagyu, or even prime passed off as wagyo/Kobe.
The Food Wars reference 😂😂
When they said A5 I knew they would do food wars shokugeki no soma
Agreed on the Japanese cook it yourself beef. Absolutely amazing! I can't find the place I went to in Tokyo. I wish I could find it again. Thanks to your video I can look for A5 beef and probably replicate it again! :) And I won't waste my time with the kobe..
Thanks so much. Do you know if you are able to get either of these in the United States ? My bucket list is to try both. Thanks again
I know some companies can export it but it's probably really really expensive. Any American store or restaurant will not have the same thing.
John Howie Steak House.
I’ve had A5. It literally made me cry.
😂
"When you eat kobe beef...
You put it in your mouth..."
TEACH ME MORE SENSEI
8:14 Correction...it IS the highest cut of beef in the entire world not almost the highest. I've never had the pleasure of eating A5 Wagyu but I have had lesser quality that blew my mind. If the pictures of A5 are accurate than I cannot imagine a better cut of beef anywhere.
If you really want to be pedantic A5 is the grade of the steak not the cut.
Which is better A5 olive wagyu or A5 Kobe beef?
My Bucket list of tasting:
Real Olive Wagyu
Real Truffle
1996 vintage of Dom Perignon Rosé Gold
Liziqi
I search liziqi
I end up with a girl making clothes from cotton and all that process and i love it its terapeutic
I’ve heard they massage the cows lol and give them beer and shit
What is American Kobe burgers? Fudruckers sells it just wondering if it’s any good
It was abusaki that they were poring down your throat. It actually has snake venom in it. It’s not actually related to saki. It will make you hallucinate if you drink enough of it. I have. Good times.
*Habushu
... come on man. I lived in Okinawa. Drank it nearly every weekend. Never hallucinated. That said, other soldiers mentioned that they did. I didn't believe them either.
Fantastic, informative, video. Nice one.
There are many brands of wagyu - Kobe is not necessarily the best. The last winner of the beef competition(2017) in Japan came from Kagoshima, Kyushu. Kyushu has many great wagyu brands.
Was wagyu the name of the helicopter? I don’t get it.
Kobe is also a wagyu beef
That chess set behind you, is it by any chance from the British Airways? Asking because I had the same from British Airways 😂😂😂
Muhammad Tayyab hey there. There are many glass chess set manufacturers. ;) hope I could help you.
Mannn i was about to comment the same thing ..that chess board is 🔥🔥🔥
Rip Kobe
This guys
I eat A5 Kobe raw all the time....super good
Thanks man, gotta try both of them when I am in Japan
Make thin slices of angus and beef fat, lay them alternately and cook
FOOD WAAARS!!!
Lol why are people disliking? This guy is awesome
Because he seems not to understand that wagyu is an actual breed of cattle and that all Kobe beef is wagyu it's just not all wagyu is Kobe beef. Plus Kobe beef is not a grading system it's just where it's comes from so any wagyu raised outside of the Kobe prefecture would not be called Kobe it would just be wagyu even though it's the exact same thing.
vegans
it is rocket science...
Lol I know A5 just because of food wars aswell XD
👋I wonder how much of the beef grown on Ranch’s that the Japanese own in southern Texas , ends up being sold as this higher priced beef ?
Freelander If it is wagu cows, than it’s the same. Wagu is a breed of cow is all, just like Angus. Only now, Angus cows merely yield better shape and amounts of the choice cuts, and not so much a trademark flavor, as it did in the beginning. High commercial production has tended to wash out a lot of the flavor distinction.. For many many years, just as with silk worms from China, a US farmer couldn’t purchase live Wagu cattle. I believe that has changed and some of the Wagu breed of cattle is American owned. I’ll say this. Wagu is such a different animal, as long as it’s purebred Wagu stock that is bred, it will always be a totally different product than American breeds like Angus. It’s taken centuries of manipulation of the cattle to even cause it to store the fat within the muscle itself to the extent of Wagu. Might even have been a mutation of the genes many centuries ago that brought about such marbling. It’s almost as if the fat is marbled with muscle fibers.
Toby Ihli I do understand all that . I too watched a few documentaries on the beef . But I have seen the animals on those ranches . With the glued meat being passed in very expensive steak restaurants and the less expensive fish being passed off as expensive fish . The cows Wagu steak comes from are treated like royalty as I understand it . And the ones that run loose on those ranches need something.
That’s all my comment was about . Buyer beware is all
99.99%,from the entire video, he was holding from drooling while describing about the beef and his experience eating the beef. At 2:10 he flush out all the saliva he had in his mounth
🤣
Your charisma is amazing!!
I've been many times to Japan and tried Kobe beef once and wagyu a few times as well. I paid about 125 dollars for the kobe beef steak. Can't remember what I paid for the wagyu. That said, the kobe beef I had was hands down the best thing I've ever eaten.
Also, the kobe beef was seasoned with salt and pepper. Nothing else. Didn't even give soy sauce.
Good Video.....but I don't think I like the idea of steak melting in my mouth. I like some substance. I'd probably be happier with an A! or A2
Can you post the names of the places that you went to?
After watching this video, I miss Yakiniku so much now 🤤 those beef are good with just lemon juice and salt& pepper too. I wonder if you tried Horumon (innards) or not.
Real Kobe Beef is an exception.
This white guy would be into Japanese stuff lol Great video tho.
The way you describe the melting like wtf u gotta cook that shit on ripping hot cast iron yet body temp of 35oc is hot enough to melt. Bruh Yh what
Kobe is also massaged, sung to, and severely spoiled. lol
Plus a bottle of beer a day.
Waygu is the breed of beef cattle . Not a cut of meat.
Thanks! Japan is awesome. I suggest taking some Japanese language classes so you can pronounce the words better.
A1 TO A5 ARE THE GRADES
KOBE IS ON OF THE ORIGINS OF WHERE THE WAGYU COMES FROM
ITS FUCKING RAAAAAAW
🍖🥩🍔🍖🥩🍔🍖🥩🍔🍖🥩🍔🍖🥩🍔🍖🥩🍔
You found kobe less delicious because youve only tried the skewers which i assume not kobe at all from the looks of it, try the tepanyaki of kobe.
James Bautista i have had Kobe it is the best beef and skewers are ok but try the prime rib then he will prob say Kobe’s better this guy sucks
I wounder how pokeman would taste . I see it in your background.... lol just kidding
I’m gonna have to say I too have been intoxicated and video taped my meat; however it wasn’t being cooked.
😉 very funny 😁
Kobe beef is better than lebron goat
wagyu means japanese cow
Japanese version of select, choice, prime - and I suppose - prime PLUS (not that there is any such thing as 'prime plus'). I'll never try Kobe. Why would I? I'm going to pay a premium, just because the beef comes from the Kobe region? Screw that! As far as Waygu goes: US prime beef is LIKELY every bit as good as Waygu - we'll see! I intend to try Waygu. From the OVERWHELMING videos and reviews I've seen, there is no reason on Earth to pay the premium for Kobe, or Waygu beef! Good beef, is good beef! All this hype of Kobe vs. Waygu, versus other grades of (American raised) beef, is simply that: HYPE! I guarantee you : if a blind taste test of Kobe, Waygu, and (American) prime were done, the results would show that there is little difference!
Richard G I haven’t tried Kobe yet but had the opportunity to compare between the A5 Miyazaki and and USDA prime. And I can honestly say you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. How can you sit there and make concrete statements when you have yet to try wagyu? Oh right! based on other people’s reviews and videos.
You sound like Sam Harris
Not even a bit
You forgot to mention how much you paid for kobe
I was thinking the same.
3:42
This kid never shaved
Kobe Bryant is the best
that intro gave me diabeetus
I put waygu vs kobe in Google search. I found & read the difference of the two beefs in less than 3 minutes. I couldn't watch this video to the end. Just saying .....
So you are saying you have ZERO attention span?
Attention span has nothing to do with a person who reads fast AND comprehens what they've read as well. It's a personal choice for anyone to choose visual media and/or written documentation to find the information they're seeking.
Just saying ... There are many reasons why a person cannot finish watching a TH-cam video.
@@betazoid6062 LOL, OK. Slow down a bit, concentrate, work on your spelling and punctuation, and try not to be so ADHD.
Can you babble any longer ? Could you repeat that please?
Whats better then Wagyu and Kobe? Pikachu
The most important fact.. These animals are treated very well.. very low stress.. that's how all slaughter animals should be treated...
Rhaine E. Daize Than prices would skyrocket. Are you willing to pay 50$ for a chicken breast?
@@hazoish7670 yes... I'm very careful of what I put in my face.... a serving of meat is only the size of your palm. Fingers not included.. people don't have to eat animal protein every day.. there is alot of different proteins to choose from. Granted.. yes.. Maybe we wouldn't need to go to this extent.. Maybe just free range.. more of a kinder life. Not there whole life in a small pen.. ☺
You need some sun
fookin weebs taking over the world
I can see you over cooked the beef. 2 min is way too much. 30sec. To 1min should be fine
One interesting trivia about Japanese cuisine is that it was completely vegan some 200 yrs ago. An imperial decree during famine allowed Buddhists to eat meat. I don't think there is a single dish in Japan now which is vegan now. Also, looks like India is the only country where some cultures still follow the tradition of being pure vegetarian.
They were vegetarians, not vegans. They never stopped eating fish and shellfish and they did eat meat but not often.
This is kinda boring too much camera time, not enough visual content.
This guy is like 15, wtf does he know? Lol
Now that is a goofy looking person...lol
black jack when he was 20
I'll make it simple, Kobe is Japanese, Wagyu is everywhere else. Same as Port Wine, if it's not made in Portugal, it's not Port Wine.
Felt bad for vegans 😕
Do they really let the cows drink beer every day?
I don't know about every day, but I've seen video of them giving the cattle sake too.
This is wrong. Kobe beef is wagyu, that came from Kobe a city from Osaka. There are different types of wagyu and they are named from the city it came from. At least do more research before uploading this video.
Looks fatty, the melt is grease
meanwhile pure fats almost free :v why not just cook fat lol
Combination is the key.
Entourage effect
that looks gross so much fat to meat did not look good to me.
you know he watches hentai
Fuck you talk a lot
awful intro there
Cant not uderstanding u talk to much.
Do some more research before you speak
Rubbish video. This guy has never left America. Just a normal Google dude.
This was terrible
Fail. Wagyu is a breed of cattle, Kobe is an area. Blocked.
