  • A Day in the Life of a Japanese Wagyu Butcher Shop Owner in Tokyo. This Japanese Butcher living in Tokyo Japan offers premium A5 Japanese wagyu beef, Japanese pork, Japanese chicken and various curated meats. This is an average day living in Tokyo as well as average day working in tokyo as a meat butcher. You'll get a glimpse into Japan work culture for this field. Teru, 44 years old, runs a local Japanese meat butcher shop in Tokyo, Yanagiya, which has been in his family for 73 years. It’s named after his family, Yanagi. Yanagiya only sells A5 Sendai Gyu Beef, which is famous for having a strict grading criteria for it’s meat, as only 30 % of the cows in Miyagi prefecture are good enough to be certified with premium A5 medal. All Japanese beef is considered wagyu beef, but not all Wagyu beef is A5 grade. A5 wagyu beef is the highest quality of meat you can get in Japan based on it’s beef grading system. Basically, you have Yield Grade and a Quality Grade, hence A AND 5. The Yield Grade, is the amount of meat you can get from the cow, and is graded either A, B or C, A being the highest mark. While the Quality grade, depends on 4 categories, marbling, color & brightness, firmness and texture, and finally color, luster and quality of fat. Each is graded from 1 being poor all the way to 5 excellent. In order to achieve an overall 5 grade, the meat must receive a 5 in every category. So Receiving all 5’s but 1 4 in a category, won’t cut and it’d result in an overall grade of 4. If you look closely at the Wagyu beef, you can see what the Japanese call Sashi, or in English the marbling or thin stips of fat in the beef. Without this excellent marbling, the meat wouldn’t be considered grade 5 quality.

      Yeah, I can imagine the coordination that goes into this kind project is pretty serious. Way to go for adapting your process and making it work despite the additional complications. Semi-related question about your video-making process, Paolo...do you storyboard everything out first, before filming? Your shots seem too perfect in each scene to have ‘just happened’. Anyway, nice work. KP!

      Well he's a luxury meat butcher. Normal people don't eat A5 wagyu for a weekday night shabu shabu. The area he serves must be a high-end residential area and those unassuming customers are actually very rich people. And from the volume he sells each day this place must be ridiculously profitable. I'm pretty sure lesser butcher shops in Japan serving regular people don't look as fancy and stylish, but maybe just as clean.

    This is the most meticulous butcher shop I have ever seen. Here in North America there are standards too but in Japan, I've noticed throught your vlogs that the cleanliness & sanitation requirements out-do us in every way. There is so much respect there for employers and employees; more appreciative in every way. Teru is an amazing butcher and runs a fantastic business there.

      @Marc... 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I don't know much about all the cultural stuff in Japan but in terms of meticulousness, cleanliness and sanitation, these guys are on an absolutely different level, especially in regards to food. That's why adding raw eggs to food over there is... I wouldn't say widespread, cause I'm not sure, but there's definitely recipes and stuff where you do that. For the simple reason that the chain and all processes involved in obtaining said egg and then getting it to consumers is all so safe and sanitary that ultimately, the chance of contracting foodborne illnesses from stuff like raw eggs is, apparently, minimal. I'm just using the example of the egg but it's probably safe to assume it applies to the rest of the food industry.
