There are some live streams with Kevin on the *GO channel including one on the warm with the cattle. DOn't forget to subscribe and LIKE to encourage me to keep it up!
Not maybe - most likely next year. Think of it as more time to plan and save up for an even longer vacation that now has an Omi-gyu meal (or two? Why not right) in the itinerary. Kansai and Shiga during autumn colors is GORGEOUS I tell you
shadowtheimpure It won’t be fully resolved for many years. The pandemic will be resolved quickly for the first-world countries but third world countries with poor healthcare will take a much longer time.
Great story on the history of Japanese Omi Beef. I had no idea that the popularity was a result of having a more westernized palate. I am impressed that the ranch is so clean and that the animals are well cared for. It's no wonder this Japanese product is world renown.
Some people really don’t understand what and where some of the history came from. But if you have a knowledge about the Japanese Castle you can have an idea or maybe it can give you a chance to think about many things like” why the most colorful castle built here in Shiga?” Although that castle is gone but it always remains the fact that Shiga is very important place to those Emperors and Shoguns. If you know about the word “ SHOKUNIN “ the word shokunin can translates to MASTER” and it came from the SHIGA SHOKUNIN. This place is also will know as the place of Rich Daimyo . They are all will know for funding the higher leaders long long time ago. The Shiga Shokunin travels around Japan and spread their knowledge of craftsmanship and business. If there’s no Shiga Shokunin then probably there’s no Japanese Culture to amaze now. There’s also a music instrument name Biwa the name took from the Biwako lake because it is shape like the lake. Shiganian is shy and quiet people, they hates fights and debates. So if some Kyoto people talking b...d about Shiga “ people here are just saying ( let them talk ) hahaha hahaha
By the way . The shiganian has been eating beef before it became famous in Japan. And they didn’t learn from westerners for sure. There’s so many westerners living here and they do not speak much like I do . I bet they are all become what I called A Real Shiganian”! Hahaha hahaha Like Shiganian says “ LET THEM SPEAK “.
I'm loving the farm-to-table format John, all of these episodes are really making my mouth water. I need to go visit Japan again once all of this quarantine stuff is done with.
Videos of -Street food -Rare restaurants -Parks -Malls with some strange stuff or places -You can go to Mount Haruna aka Akina and talk about Initials “D” -Takeshita Street “again “ - all the videos that you made before in your old channel, just to refresh our memory 😉
I would love to have some of that luxury beef. And I love how kindly they treat the cows. You can see how happy they are and how glossy their coats are.
I REALLY enjoyed that history lesson, and thanks for editing in the date ranges for me since I can never keep the historical periods straight! So glad to be seeing these longer, polished docu-vids coming back again now you're on your new channel. I would love to see more videos showing us the unknown histories of places/things. I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but this is the kind of content I'm here for! Keep it up (maybe explore some old ruins or interesting historical spots)!
Really loving the videography here, you can really feel the improvement over the years. And this is a personal preference but I also the mellowing down of the audio (not as hyped or exaggerated as the previous channel's). I feel the more subtle touch is a better match for the aesthetic of the place and topic. The in medias res intro is quite a nice change too. Nothing subtly hypes up an episode on beef like a big hunk of A5 beef with a human holding it for context. Great job here John, excited for the next video!
My dads favourite japanese food was always wagyuu. Unfortunately he passed away last year at age 64 :( he would have enjoyed this video. Thanks for making it.
Great short Wagyu documentary! My wife and I REALLY need to try wagyu beef!! Also, if we can make suggestions for a future mini-documentary would you ever consider doing one about the Shonan monorail and Enoshima?? You may have already done one, but we could not find it and think you would do a great job bringing that and that area to the world. OH!!! And we really hope your knee is doing better!! Hoping you are at 100% with it soon!
I am irrationally envious right now John! Omi is my absolute fav...we had a bowl of yukke at a yakiniku place in kyoto years ago...it was my first time ever trying raw meat and it blew me away.
Yeeeeeah! You came to Otsu! Thank you so much for covering Shiga prefecture and its food! I feel our prefecture is not covered enough by big youtubers with international audience like you! I'm very happy to see this amazing video you made! Thanks!😉👍
It’s my 5th time to Otsu. I first rode my bicycle through there on route 1 in 2005 (Tokaido Highway) and then for the Funazushi episode 2 years ago. I will be back again for sure, I love Shiga’s welcoming spirit and natural scenery around Lake Biwa.
Thank you for making these videos, John. Online college has been so stressful but your video always make my anxiety feel better and I learn so much from them. Please keep creating content - I know switching to a new channel couldn't have been easy but I appreciate all of your work so much.
John I love this animation you have there. It looks amazing. I think that is a really nice touch. The characters look great. Would you consider doing an episode on Yokai? I think that Japanese folklore tradition is the most fascinating thing about Japan. Their folklore is unique and diverse beyond anything else I have ever seen. Great job!
Good episode as always. I like how I recognized the farm from a previous live stream. You always give great ideas on new things to try and places to visit next time I'm in Japan.
@@samiam619 I am sure we did not violate the farm's dress code. I didn't know a black t-shirt and shorts is what bums wear in summer heat. I'll make sure to wear a suit next time 🤣
Another wonderful vid! I need to sample some of that beef once we can visit. Thanks again for the story! Nice to see Kevin in the video too! Looking forward to your next one as always
These drone shots are so beautiful and pleasant to see. And I loved Kevin Riley! The food made my mouth water like never before. I love the camera work, better than those shows in TV. This video was really informative! Thank you!!🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😇😇☺️☺️
I have been to Kyoto a few times and never really ventured out, but after seeing this, Omi is top on my list! Thank you for your awesome, inspiring videos! Waiting patiently for travel to begin again, hoping Hawaii is on the sooner than later list! Take care and hope you and Kanae are genki! Love & aloha*xo
I love that you show the steps from the farm to the table. Also I am impressed that there is still lots of manual work in Japanese factories. I have yet to experience Wagyu myself.
John, can you do an episode on the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995? I went to visit Kobe with my best friend Matteo and we really got shocked at what happened. We really loved the earthquake museum in Kobe and found that people there were really open to be vulnerable and so happy to share a day with us. It was an amazing experience
I have 3 more planned for this year up in Tohoku. If people like watching them, people click the like button, I will understand and do more and more. I think they're very important episodes to do beyond just tourism. There's a good story to it.
As a Scot I'm used to the quality of Aberdeen Angus beef, but I've never tried Wagyu beef and I really want to just to see why it's so revered by everyone who has it. As it really does seem to be on another plane of existence altogether. Always a pleasure watching your videos John and I look forward to the next one with bated breath 💗
@eastpoint I'm sorry but your comment doesn't make any sense to me, unless you're trying to say that you find wagyu too fatty for your tastes. But that's your opinion each to their own and all that jazz.
Another great episode John, I know I might have ask already but if you ever run out of subject for new content can you please make an episode about the special love between Japanese people and Capybara, an animal originate all the way from South America? There’s a guy on Instagram name is capybara_capygon who is a pro photographer specialized in taking picture of this cute rodent. Always great to see your new content!
Loving the time lapse walk throughs! Awesome idea John! How would you compare this wagyu experience to your tottori experience?? My wife and I went to the restaurant you did a video on there and it was simply amazing and remarkable, curious to how this taste and experience compares! Thanks for the wonderful content!
This meat was different - the fats were different. It melt lighter. Other than that, it’s hard to say anything more differently other than the price. Both ranches had different approaches and both had delicious results. Both farmers cared a great deal for the livestock.
You keep popping up in my "recommended videos"-tab, your videos are very high quality and fun to watch. Have my sub 😁 Keep it up! You deserve alot more subs.

You made my husband cry. We were supposed to be on our way to Osaka in 10 days. Maybe next year.
Not maybe - most likely next year. Think of it as more time to plan and save up for an even longer vacation that now has an Omi-gyu meal (or two? Why not right) in the itinerary. Kansai and Shiga during autumn colors is GORGEOUS I tell you
I can relate to that; I was planning to go in November.
@@marcusa3177 Maybe is a more realistic thought, this pandemic thing might not be fully resolved until 2022.
shadowtheimpure It won’t be fully resolved for many years. The pandemic will be resolved quickly for the first-world countries but third world countries with poor healthcare will take a much longer time.
I was lucky to go in japan at the beginning of the pandemia. Just in time. Next time i hope next year.

That’s the difference between Waygu and a McDonald’s burger, how the cows are treated
That’s the difference between Waygu and a McDonald’s burger, how the cows are treated
Nothing like eating a $200-$300 cut of beef wearing a plastic bib. Only in Japan! ;)
Or eating it with greasy hair and a gross beard. It wasn’t even cooked right. C’mon people.
You say overpriced,I say quality.
Watching these wonderful Wagyu in the mid night is some kind of torture😱😭🤣
my mouth watery....
Thank you John for the quality content. So informative and the respect you have for Japan and it's culture really shines through.
Please be vegan stop eating animal 🙏

1st time in this channel. I already watch a lot of reviews about wagyu beef but yours is more entertaining
Thanks Edu, I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s a lot of fun to make each episode and see how people like it. New episode coming really soon ٩(^‿^)۶
My dads favourite japanese food was always wagyuu. Unfortunately he passed away last year at age 64 :( he would have enjoyed this video. Thanks for making it.
I wish you nothing more than wonderful and peaceful reflection. Be well. Stay safe.
hey arent u the guy from the paolo video?
Thank you! It’s was really fun to tell a story about wagyu, appreciate it more when you know the background.
Oh hi daniel
No one ask.
Nice slab of beef!!! My mouth is watering already 🤤 When are you going to Osaka next? More Kevin, please 😩
This is a beautiful video! Sugoi!! Scenery, cattle, beef are all beautifully filmed and narrated. Thank you for sharing this! 💞😍
Thank you for watching!
The Sukiyaki tasting was also an enjoyable segment to watch in this video.
Agreed. I love dipping the sizzling meat into the whipped raw egg.
Wagyu with the King of Osaka!!!! You can't beat that!! Awesome job John and Kevin!!!
amazing video

Cluj! My Romanian hometown!
@@onlyinjapan haha yes, waiting for you to come back one day 😀
Not gonna lie, got slight Cheech and Chong vibes from Kevin and John walking down that road 😂
First name Last name 😂 so you’re saying Kevin is Chong with that headband and beard?
@@onlyinjapan I felt that you kinda disrespected the cows and the beef by dressing like bums. Don’t mean you needed to wear suits but...
@@samiam619 I am sure we did not violate the farm's dress code. I didn't know a black t-shirt and shorts is what bums wear in summer heat. I'll make sure to wear a suit next time 🤣
Wow, all shots are amazing!! Keep it up!!
Amazing! Remarkable story about Omi Beef! I also am happy smell-o-vision is not a thing!
I want smell-o-vision. It would be nice to smell the food fresh off the grill.
That's very big. My mouth is drooling
By the way, you got some interesting choices of background music.
My favourite episode so far in the new channel 👍
Another wonderful vid! I need to sample some of that beef once we can visit. Thanks again for the story! Nice to see Kevin in the video too! Looking forward to your next one as always
Wagyu is so mouth watering and delicious. I went to Japan once in Takayama and had some Wagyu Yakiniku there.
These drone shots are so beautiful and pleasant to see. And I loved Kevin Riley! The food made my mouth water like never before. I love the camera work, better than those shows in TV. This video was really informative! Thank you!!🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😇😇☺️☺️

Thank you 🙏 me too
Thank you sharing. Enjoyed watching. Take care 😊
Great video like always John super informative, those were some chill cows lol
watching is as i can smell my neighbor cooking steak :(
im hungry
Great video John! I can tell you put a lot of effort into making this for us!
I used to live in Shiga in the mid-90s, but obviously, I was oblivious to wagyu beef at the time. Man, Japan is just something else!
Hmmmm... that was a great story. Now I have to find a steak or something else here...
I love that you show the steps from the farm to the table. Also I am impressed that there is still lots of manual work in Japanese factories. I have yet to experience Wagyu myself.
THAT WAS FABULOUS!! I haven't had sukiyaki since I was a child and it brought back memories! As always your adventures are superb!
Always looking forward to a new video!
watching this making hungry and I'm jealous I wan to be in Japan now
Love your channel,sir.
Only way ,I can afford to travel to Japan. For now
Awesome episode! Appreciate your hard work showing us the wonders on Japan! This is a responsible way to eat beef.
My mouth started watering just from you saying "Wagyu Paradise"😋
you guys remind me of shokugeki no souma (food wars) when you eat that juicy wagyu, must be heaven 僕も食べたい

Very well produced video!
