- Having a moving live Abalone and Wagyu Beef Sirloin Teppanyaki lunch course at a Hotel restaurant in Shinjuku Tokyo Japan
Teppan-Yaki YAMANAMI
Address: Japan, 〒160-8330 Tokyo, Shinjuku City, Nishishinjuku, 2 Chome−2−1 京王プラザホテル内
I'm all for people making a good living, but charging $7 for a glass of Canada Dry is making a killing. Yikes.
What about the abalone? 130 USD. Is that valid?
Without alcohol this was normal fare since these establishments are for social diners with small appetites
(not these two). Guaranteed they hit McDonalds an hour later.
Shipping cost
@@rachelshaub1742shipping cost? They bottle it in Japan.
It's like paying 3.50 for a soda in a restaurant and acting like a free refill is worth it. When the cost per serving is maybe .15 at most.
I wonder how many people order that dish and then react like I did when the abalone moved: namely, 'AAA HOLY ~BLEEP~ IT MOVED!'
****gulp**** that thing is mooovin !!! aaaaaaah
Nobody who knows what the cooking style is about for sure. I think the first time I had fresh sushi, I was more concerned wih the druy Bonito fish flakes come to life on top of my hot shrimp skewers moving around! It never fails to amaze me how people start becoming squeamish after wanting to experience what they know is coming so bad afterwards
Looks like something an Klingon would order
better than being served 6 months old Fish corpse with flies laying egg in it and flying around
this is more common than you think, because in the kitchen people can't tell the difference
that's why seafood restaurants often have fish tank and fish in it, because you're guaranteed to be served a fresh fish, and not a 5 Months fish corpse
it's more of culture thing.
if you live in a country where serving Rotten meat is a common occurence, you'll value a fresh fish too
@@jensenraylight8011 I live in a country that loves to show off, big money characteristics to impress, at as cheap the cost as they can make it, but still look expensive. You can go to a very GOOD restaurant down here in Canada...totally top notch, and still when you order a live lobster out of a tank, it could be very, VERY OLD, and in the tank with lobsters that were already dead a day! Most of the fresh lol seafood down here in Toronto, smell like ammonia and throw up! FRESH MEANS *YOU GO TO ST.LAWRENCE FISH MARKET, AND BUY LIVE SEAFOODS TO COOK AT HOME YOURSELF. Something I am good at and love, but don't always have the time to do.
All I could think was if we were in an alternate universe where abalone were the dominant species and they steamed humans alive to cook and eat.
Like what? like Lion eating Deer while it was still Alive? Like wolf Hunt down Elk and eating it while it was still alive?
Cat eat Mouse while it still alive?
Basically almost all Animal on earth eat their prey while it was still alive and moving.
oh, now you want all Animal on earth to Kill their prey as humanely as possible?
Being Eaten alive is way worse than being Steamed in a minute, basically almost instant death,
which is more humane than how most animal hunt and eat their prey
just because you're not the one dirtying your hand, doesn't mean you've a moral high ground.
Just appreciate your food and enjoy it, by doing it, you're respecting the animal,
and gratitude toward your food and the chef who prepare it for you
@@jensenraylight8011
"oh, now you want all Animal on earth to Kill their prey as humanely as possible?"
> That's a quite ridiculous and completely made up interpretation of that silly comment. Congratulations.
"Being Eaten alive is way worse than being Steamed in a minute"
> Steamed alive is way worse than getting dispatched properly - in this case by being dumped in icewater, which doesn't cause any pain.
Your logic doesn't make any sense. By our logic, assisted suicide by stabbing someone in the stomache with a dull knife would be completely fine, because that's better than being eaten alive by bedbugs.
"Just appreciate your food and enjoy it, by doing it, you're respecting the animal,
and gratitude toward your food and the chef who prepare it for you"
> That's BS. How is it respectful to torture an animal, when there is a proper way to dispatch it?
@@CD-kg9by did you even read your own comment?
Because neither of your argument was strong enough to damage my argument at all, it was like written by 5yo
Which makes me really confused about what to reply
You're trying to fight against my argument for the sake of fighting alone, justification everywhere, and clearly didn't think things thoroughly
This is my first time reading an argument written so badly
@@jensenraylight8011 Now you're just trolling. Pathetic.
😂🤣
honestly the chef putting the dome over the abalone is the visual representation of the quote "Shush child."
Keeps birds from singing all night.
I felt bad for the poor little abalone, but would definitely try the rest of the meal. It was so artfully done and very relaxing to watch. For me, this experience would absolutely be worth the price.👍🏾
I'm sure if the only thing left on the planet was us and the abalone, you'd eat them raw. I'm CAF Ret. Para-ambu medic here..and I've had to eat quite a few raw live wriggling creatures in training and otherwise.
@@angelarigido7161 tbf I think they just meant they felt bad that it was steamed alive. Nothing about eating it raw or anything 🤧
@@canadiancaribou855 Yes of course, but why watch the videos of live fresh seafood being cooked so traditionally if it bothers you...I get it, I'm just saying.
@@angelarigido7161 because I can watch whatever I choose and feel how I choose 🤷🏾♀️ If that's how it is prepared, then so be it. I'm a country girl that grew up around farm animals and hunting, and have seen many live animals dispatched for food purposes. As long as an animal's life isn't wasted, I'm all good over here.
@@shaylebeau you gotta admit the abalone looks good as fuck
Poor avalone was trying to understand where she was and how to escape. Surely tasty but somehow brutal to watch
The sound of the oil frying that Abalone almost sounded like it was crying
I love how literally EVERYONE on the euro-asian continents just look at whatever they find crawling out of the ocean and immediately think "I'm gonna eat that".
The abalone tho 😭
rip. at least their final resting place was in the warm happy belly of Dancing Bacon
bit confronting haha
i know. :-( it really looked like get me the fuck out of here. i had to turn it off. we really have to find a way to treat our live food better.
@@user-fb9tg8wk2hI turned it off too. As much as I love DB, I can’t watch things like that. It makes me sad.
I just couldn't bring myself to eat something that's still trying to crawl off the plate when it gets to the table.
I watch DB videos to relax before bed. Really didnt expect to watch a living creature literally get scalded to death. Omg that poor abalone. I can't finish this video.
Thank you for posting this I read comments before watching, couldn't handle that in my head. I am a vegetarian but I will ear some meat rarely, too many animals killed inhumanely for me. Thank you
It was a bit disappointing that they didn’t use the wagyu beef fat to cook the vegetables, garlic and rice like many of the other restaurants you have been to. It all looks delicious though!
I believe that was probably intentional. Cooking it all in the wagyu fat would definitely be delicious, but they probably wanted distinct and purposeful flavors instead of vegetables that taste kinda like wagyu and rice that also tastes kinda like wagyu.
So that u get to enjoy the natural taste and flavor of the vegetables
Not uncommon in japan
You want to have the Vegeta ble, garlic and rice stay the same flavor. That way you can savor different tastes. Not everything needs to be wagyu taste
I love seafood but that sad abalone made me so unconfortable...no thanks
LOL
Thank you for putting the description of the food the chef is preparing.
I don't like seafood but even if i did i wouldn't be able to eat the abalone knowing that a few moments prior it was alive and wiggling around... It's just too creepy
And the innards 🤢
You do know where meat comes from, right? 😏
> knowing that a few moments prior it was alive and wiggling around@@Tomy_Yon
Same, for me it’s so strange that people go to those sea markets with lots of aquarium and chooses the food alive then go to a restaurant and eats it like it wasn’t alive 5 minutes ago
I eat fish and chicken,but see it dying in front of me would made me not eat it
Watching that Abalone sliding around the shell almost as if it was confused or something was weird,. I don't see seafood or anything being prepped live as I am way too far away from the coast to really get fresh fish/other seafood
I don’t understand the reason they brought it out there alive. I have a hard time with meat over all but moving food is not for me
@@slothgami not that i don't agree with you, but it's to show it's fresh since clams should be kept alive just before cooking.
@@madamerosario to add to your perfectly valid point, Japan is huge on freshness as well. Showing you your food is alive before cooking it (mostly just with seafood) is the highest form of hospitality. It's basically a way of them saying, only the best for our guest/customer.
@@BlackAssassin913 Hopefully they move to serving blackassassin913s
@@slothgami to impress the low
As a Westerner who knows where his food comes from, I confess I'd feel a bit weird watching that abalone being cooked to death, but I'd still eat it. I'd not be able to afford this any time soon, but it looks to be an exceptional high end dining experience! Thank you for sharing it with us all, Bacons!
Yah that kind of made me squeemish too. When it was moving around trying to get away I felt a little sad for it.
It's really not that hard to kill your food before cooking it. I know some stuff like lobsters get bad very quickly after they die, but you still don't have to cook them alive.
Seafood, especially abalones aren't much different from plants on an intellectual level, so i don't get why someone would feel sorry for them...
Yeah the moving right before it dies is definitely weird. But we've also watched him hook a live fish right before eating it. It's just the way they do it over there
@@April480p Because they're still an animal, and it wouldn't be hard to kill the abalone mere seconds before cooking them.
I like how this chef literally did not put the burnt offal on your plate but always discarded it. Looks perfect and worth the price! 10/10 😀
Here in the US when we have Teppanyaki, it is cooked in reverse with the fried rice and soup being served first.
Everything looked marvelous and your chef was spot on. Just wondering when the salt bae will finally die out.😊
The chef knows how to pour the salt without it touching his arm.
You sprinkle the seasonings from higher up for a more even coating. The difference between this chef and salt bae is this chef isn't sprinkling on his nasty arm first like that idiot does.
Watching this abalone get literally cooked to death made me uncomfortable. What was the culinary benefit in cooking it alive compared to killing it first? To ooh and ahh over how fresh it is? Mollusks might have very different “nervous systems” compared to mammals, but they exhibit stress responses and it’s thought that they could possibly feel pain as some have a form of nervous system and nociceptors. Eat the abalone if you want, but cooking it alive? That was needlessly cruel.
That's the part that bothered you? I was bothered by the fact they salted it and let it writhe in pain *before* they cooked it. At least the cooking process would had been faster (but not much better). Just putting salt on it and letting it suffer because it's amusing to watch for some people? That's literally a child with a salt shaker finding a slug or snail, or finding a magnifying glass to burn ants with.
Whoever finds this amusing or pleasurable? They're that kid. They're the kids that enjoy torture p*rn.
Glia cells are pain receptors on non-nervous system organisms. It's why they writhe in pain when cut in half, or when thrown on a grill. Pain is literally the #1 trigger for all survival mechanisms for life on earth. Even unicellular organisms react to painful stimuli. Our ignorance on many things is staggering, but the refusal of people to acknowledge pain responses as actual pain is beyond stupid.
You haven't seen the Japanese cooking of putting a small eel into a pot. In the pot is a brick of tofu. As the water heats up, the animal swimming frantically trying to escape the liquid hell, finally burrowing inside the tofu to escape the heat. It is finally boiled to death and cooked in the tofu. Awful way to kill an animal, as if the suffering adds to the delicacy.
@@intpleb4206 stupid and selfish i add.
@@ms.annthrope415 barbarians cannot feel empathy.
That abalone 😢😢😢
Please give her video 👎👎👎👎
The abalone's name translates to LrB and you wouldn't like the curse she laid on you.
My chef said only to the Abalone "Dancing". and laughing i think more English he dont speak
There's a How's it made, factory,.... genre TH-camr. I unsubscribed when a chef gutted a Pufferfish. Things was moving for minutes after. The comments from the Pro Chef comments, "It's nothing but nerve endings!!!!. You eat meat? What's the problem?" Well, I prefer animals to be dispatched as soon as possible.
@@dlewis9760 almost every religion believes in killing animals in a humane way. Some people do not care. Only because I respect nice lady’s channel I will not speak my mind.
I love that authentic teppanyaki is table side artful cooking and not having to catch a shrimp in your mouth from across the room.
Or having to swallow live tiny octopi, when you can have them cooked in front of you nice and fresh!
Beni haha! Lol
Gotta be honest, i only watched a minute and a half and almost got scared to death by that abalone moving xD
I've hunted and fished, but for some reason watching that bug squirm around then boil it in front of me whole was just disgusting.
Wow this Chef is so skilled! I love how he adds the fat (flavor) back to the meet. Cut it into smaller peaces so you can enjoy different combinations of seasoning and garnish. Then splits everything into 2 perfect portions. Impressive attention to details.
I think I’m in love with this chef, who wouldn’t love to have a man or woman like this in their life
simpletons are impressed by nonsense as usual
I remember one video where another Teppanyaki chef just set the live abalone down on the grill, body side down. The abalone immediately began writhing in pain so much before it just stopped moving completely. In this situation, the abalone is at least covered before being steamed, so it's not as devastating to watch while the chef works on the other ingredients.
The abalone was a bit cruel
I know what my food is but if I can see it trying to run for its life I'm out😢
Brinjal is, for those who are unfamiliar (as I was!), just another name for eggplant or aubergine. The chef there put on the best sort of show -- no theatrics, just a masterful dance of implements to serve up a delicious meal!
I am no linguist but I think it comes from spanish berenjena. Someone in the past must have misheard it and brinjal it was.
I am such a tourist I would want to keep the shell. 8:36
100%!!! Me too! I always keep abalone shells that we eat :)
Ditto
I love watching your channel for food I'll never experience IRL :D Thank you!
You could go to Singapore.
@@theexpresidentsa lot people might be eating raw noodles for everyday’s meals right now, mate.
Yay! First. 😊😆
I’ve never felt bad for a shellfish before, but that poor abalone moving around the way it was…it was almost as if it was looking at everything and wondering what was going on. 😢
I think I’ll stick to seeing my food after it’s been dispatched from life. ✌🏻😊
Same! No judging anyone though.
Judge them, dispatch what you eat quick and with respect not try and make it like a ballet.
these are not chefs, these are artists on the highest level !!!
I do realize that Abalone don't have a central nervous system which means they cannot feel pain or experience emotions related to it, but it just still feels so wrong to cook things while they are alive. they do still react to stimuli as you can see in the video they react heavily to the salt being put on it. I just don't get why people are ok with live cooking like this. It takes mere seconds to kill it and can be done seconds before cooking it and it's going to taste the exact same.
I had to stop watching, I'd like to watch the chef work but cooking a creature alive for one's one enjoyment is needlessly cruel (and I couldn't care less about if it can feel pain or not, it's still horrible.) I strongly feel as creatures with advanced intelligence that dominate the food chain, the least we can do is respect the creatures we eat for the sake of it, not for survival. It might be something baked into Japanese culture but that doesn't make it right. D:
@@ArtzyZeroI agree. We used to go hunting with my grandpa for deer, and he was so good at doing it! But he’d always make sure it was a quick death and then taught us to thank the deer and respect our food.
absolutely agree - I had to stop watching. Not for me at all! Completely unnecessary...@@ArtzyZero
It's a flex how tough the chef and eaters are. "I'm better than you, because you are weak". Tempted to drop these 2 because of that. They actually gloat that it was alive.
@@dlewis9760 💯☝
I love to watch these masters cook. Everything looked so tasty. Too expensive for my budget, though. Thank you for taking me with you on your journeys. I love your channel. Happy new year. May 2024 be filled with good health, happiness and prosperity.
I love abalone, did you know, at one time in the USA it was a cheap canned meat? Just like lobster used to be, a food for poor people :O
My guess is they had the decency to actually kill the damn things.
Here everything is extremely unnecessary.
This makes me hungry for a baloney + cheese sandwich....
I love this comment 😂
Hahahaha 😅😅😅
Well I ain't know, that's where Bologna came from...😅😅😅

Wishing you to continue flourishing and prospering 🙏
She is so expressive when something is good.
the giant slug moving on the plate worries me. nope sorry i cannot eat that dude XD freaked out!
alive? *no* no No NO
i'm out
I know I'm in the minority in this comment section, but when I saw that abalone wiggling around I was like "damn! Doesn't get more fresh than that!"
Love this chef. Lots of things to admire but one that stuck out to me was his stylish salting technique. It's like Salt Bae but with genuine talent, and I think you actually get what you're paying for with this.
Just the perfect video to watch before bed
The skills of the chef are so impressive, much love and respect for the art of cooking ❤
yea
Incredible ❤ I love your videos so much
Thats a nice high end restaurant everytime i watch your videos it makes me hungry 😅❤
Abolone: Tee hee! I'm in danger~
cooking something alive is fuked up
Great skills very impressive thx for sharing ❤
Guy has a clearly well practiced technique.
Now that's what I call an amazing high-class dining experience, which makes me wonder what other things they can make on a teppanyaki grill?
Probably alot of things just haven't tried em all yet?
basically everything that you can also make in a pan. It's just that - a big pan.
The happy noises your wife makes when she tastes good food is so wholesome. I've had teppanyaki once at Nobu here in Melbourne, Australia and my highlights were the chicken tofu & mushroom soup. It was so simple, but delicious and I found myself craving more of it when I left lol. And the garlic fried rice is a MUST even if it costs extra, it's just SO worth it
Having lived in Japan the price for such high quality plus the presentation is worth the money. This is an experience you can’t get elsewhere. Even in a big city like NY, it not like eating in Tokyo.
The abalone moving is too much for me 😂
I like how they come clean preparing the abalone in front of you
Great way to start the day
I would say the last place you guys went to was perfect for a budget traveller like me!
The care this Chef took in preparation of your meal was phenomenal. ❤. Love your videos!
I love how every one is feeling bad for the abalone cuz it was still alive, but as far as i know they dont really feel pain if ya poke em with a stick they will retract due to reflex but no pain
I had quickly pass on this 1
That beef looked delicious 🥩😋Thanks DancingBacons & Happy New Year 🥳🕺🥓
Yes 🙌 it does 😊Happy new years 🎆❤️
just the morral thing to boil creatures that is alive is devilish.. no discussion
At first I was going crazy. I swear it still can not be moving. Nope I'm not crazy it's moving.
Everything looked incredible.
I love how happy you look eating every bite. Nothing disappoints, that's for sure. Def worth the price for such a nice dining experience.
Thank you, once again for sharing an experience I will sadly never have. Her expression would be mine! Please keep having fun, tasting the best, and sharing. Love what you do.
Hi guys! I hope your new year brings you great bounty and love!
Love the spacious sound mix. I actually feel like I'm in the room. Headphones people! ❤
Another great food video. Anything wagyu is delicious! Thank you!
Wagyu meat is pinker and much more delicate, resulting in a more flavorful, soft cut of meat. It can cook for extended periods without becoming leathery or dried up. Wagyu beef also has fat that is better and healthier than other types of meat
I just posted a "Best Pancakes in Hawaii" about the delicious Chantilly Pancakes in Hawaii We should battle! (You'll probably win though)
Happy New Year Dancing Baconators!
I had to stop watching when I saw the abalone moving around, I felt really sorry for it. It may be a cultural issue, but I can't deal with the food I'm about to eat moving around in front of me before its cooked, even worse seeing it cooked alive like that, I think it's really cruel.
What a Weiner 😂
Me too.....
As far as i know abalone dont really feel pain
@@Gewmmy I'd say its very likely they respond to and feel some kind of negative stimuli.
This restaurant is very clean and preparation looks great.
Was the abalone tough?
Somebody long ago once saw an abalone and said to themselves, "I'm going to eat that". How brave did they have to be?
Gotta admire the chef's skill when he made the rice squares
A friend asked me if i'd tried Teppanyaki. I said no, just Teppanbowling
Urrrgh!
the markup on drinks should cover the dining cost lmao
I would want to keep the shell. they are beautiful!!
I'm only like a minute in, but I had to comment on the $7 ginger ale bahaha
I love this! It would be so fun to experience it in person.
Not too sure how I feel about the abalone being alive when it is cooked.
Not sure how I feel about it being salted and left to suffer before it was cooked because it's supposed to be entertainment.
i wonder is the chef aware the guy filming him has over 3M subscribers. you’d hate to mess it up with so many viewers
Just in time for my breakfast 😁🫶🏽
I feel bad for the abalone! Thinking he’s going to go to lunch only to realize he is the lunch. Poor fella!
Babe wake up , DancingBacons posted !
Not a good way to treat an endangered species for a meal.
Abalone is an endangered species? Oh, I had to look that up. It looks like a lot of them are, but not all of them. I wonder which one they're eating here? I have no idea.
But yeah, dude.. don't salt it and let it suffer because weeee it's fun and cool to look at! :D :D :D
That's gross. :/ Humans are gross.
First up, i found watching this part confronting but understand people would enjoy not just the flavour, but the show as well. Who am i to judge. One thought though: I hope they use Australian abalone. The industry is very highly regulated here and heavy penalties apply for poaching or over fishing. The cost of the licence to farm abalone is astronomical - I know a guy who has the licence for the Warrnambool area in Victoria and he is beyond wealthy.
WOW!! That some damn expensive ginger ale!!! If you want I can go down to the store and buy some for you and mail it!! probably be cheaper!!
I liked previous teppanyaki more) Last chef worked a bit more interesting, to my mind)
When I was a kid in NZ we used to go and pick abalone off the rocks in the beach we called them paua, they were often a bit tough (so we probably did not cook them right) but with a good flavour. They are (or were) common when I was a kid
That Abalone knows what's coming!
I love these kinda videos
the writhing abalone makes me sad. and i love abalone. we have to find a way to treat our live animal foods better.
looks so tasty !!!!!
oh my dear lord, my wallet ran away.
I live vicariously through you both🎉
did the chef salt bae those garlic chips? lol
I thought "This guy is a tool".
Wow beef! Yummy 🎉
Looks like a delicious lunch. Thanks for sharing with us.
Chef is very good.
The steak is probably the best looking thing in this dinner lol :/
I have eaten at tenpayakki restaurant before, I was unsure about the portion at first because it looks small. But surprisingly the whole meal make full 😂 and I shall not underestimate the smol portion next time
