hey everyone hope you're having an amazing day it's Mark Wiens it's a freezing cold day in Miyazaki perfect chair place that raises the best beef in all of Japan and so today we are first going to visit a wagyu cattle ranch in Miyazaki and we're gonna learn hopefully some of the secrets as to why these cows are so special and tastes so good and then after that we'll be going to an iconic Teppanyaki Restaurant to taste A5 the top quality Miyazaki wagyu beef it's gonna be so much juicy steak action and you're not going to want to miss any of it coming up right now thank you [Music] this is Miyazaki cattle country it's actually extremely beautiful in the mountains here with snow fresh clean air so excited for today it's gonna be one of the greatest beef days probably ever so we all know about Japanese beef we've all heard of Kobe beef which is like a buzzword it's one of the international standards for known as some of the most expensive and some of the greatest best tasting well-marbled beef in the entire world but did you actually know that in Japan Miyazaki wagyu beef is known to be the best the highest quality the most premium beef in all of Japan there's something which is literally called the Olympics of wagyu which is a competition of Japanese beef held every five years and for the past 15 years for the past three competitions Miyazaki beef has won the competition they've received the top award so they are truly the champions of Japanese beef so we're here on the ranch we met up with the owner who is third generation many of the Farms are still family run and operated and cared for the main questions I had for the owner here is what sets these Miyazaki cattle apart what makes them different as the best wagyu you can get in all of Japan and he was really quick to answer he said it's all about the environment here the air is clean and fresh it's such a natural setting and environment and the water quality here is some of the best and that's really what makes a huge difference the cows are fed a combination of grass hay corn wheat probably some herbs they live such a stress-free life and in such a clean environment even the Stables here they're so clean and then one more thing that the owner mentioned is that they are brushed frequently to increase the blood flow okay you're okay okay I mean they just look Happy Clean satisfied you smell really good these are one-year-old typically for consumption they are used at about the two and a half to three year period and then one last stop at the Stables to see the newborns the babies that one is just a week old oh so beautiful um [Music] the cold is reaching to my bones it's so cold but that was a an incredible fantastic tour and some insights into the key is the environment the water and I think it's just the care they give to each and every cow really an interesting place it's going to be even more meaningful when we later on eat A5 Miyazaki wagyu beef which is coming up right now we're gonna head to the city and then we'll be eating a Teppanyaki it's going to be the highlight of this entire day oh man on our way out the owner gave us some of their award-winning this is beef ham from the Miyazaki cattle it's still frozen right now and so am I but we will definitely try this out as soon as soon as we all thought out can't wait to taste it that's gonna be delicious wow it's cold [Music] and we drove down to Miyazaki town talk about different weather conditions here and we're on the coast compared to the mountains where it's snowing it's sunny it's almost a tropical feel here really quickly before we go to lunch we have to try them I've thought out Miyazaki beef ham has also thought out we have to try this out before we go to lunch this is superb quality oh look at that look at that color here look at that marbling look at that fat all that aroma well paper thin slices full oh it's gonna melt on your tongue here we go first taste oh that feels like butter on your tongue and then it has a smoky ham cured saltiness oh all the fat the flavor keeps on coming oh that's stunning that is so tasty um that's just straight up like Miyazaki wagyu Spanish jamon oh what an appetizer okay but we have much more beef in our very near future let's go eat lunch [Music] we have just arrived to one of the most iconic legendary restaurants that specializes in Miyazaki beef I believe it's called miyakichu it's very iconic known for serving again the best quality Miyazaki A5 wagyu beef and they serve Teppanyaki which is one of the best ways to eat your steak and to really taste the full potential of the beef and also see the whole cooking process as you're eating so this is what it all comes down to I'm very excited okay we have a reservation we've already pre-reserved our beef as well they're ready to start the show here it is the premium A5 Miyazaki iwagyu and we got two different types that we're gonna try I believe this one is the sirloin and the tenderloin could be opposite but look at that marbling that marbling is absolutely beautiful they said it has the marbling of a snowflake so much marbling so evenly distributed that is beautiful again wow it's not big but it's going to be so rich that's going to be just all you need and it's the perfect way to taste the Miyazaki beef okay so for our steak he puts it on the Hot Grill just like Sears the edges and then he lets it rest and then he's gonna put it back on we said the best way to get it is medium rare so that's what we got medium rare okay the first thing I'm gonna do is bib up seems like the appropriate thing to do that everyone is doing and actually before we get started on the beef he is starting us off with some beetroot soup and then I think he's gonna cook some of the vegetables there we go we're all suited up and ready for this beef meal but let's try that beetroot soup oh that looks really delicate almost looks like strawberry let's try this beetroot soup oh it's really light and thin mmm oh it tastes kind of buttery and just really light and thin and clear delicious delicious way to begin oh nice whoa Mike I got the hamburger that looks incredible too so juicy and plump next up I'm gonna try actually Micah ordered the burger this is a Miyazaki Burger one of the fanciest Burgers I think you could possibly and Kim's with a hot dog too this is definitely the fanciest hot dog I think I've ever seen in my life and he cooked an egg in an onion but this is a Miyazaki Burger oh can you get better than a Miyazaki burger with brown gravy [Music] oh it's so crumbly so juicy on that rich brown gravy is so beefy that is a burger of Champions thank you Micah for the bite that is delicious okay let's try that tenderloin real fast [Music] [Music] so it gets Clum beat with a little bit of Brandy just for that Aroma oh that smells so good this is the sirloin I believe look at that marble it's just melting and just unbelievable oh you can just see it looks like butter that's seared on both sides that is beautiful just look it just Sears in on the sides and they serve it on a piece of bread to absorb the juices so you don't waste any of the fat or the juices and then they serve it with salt with Wasabi I think with Yuzu and some garlic chips on the side but the first bite has to be pure this is what it all comes down to this is what today is all about oh oh wow that turns to liquid without even chewing right like it meets the your taste buds on your tongue and just starts to melt the fat coming out the even distribution of that snowflake of fat the steer just to bring out that flavor oh happy birthday do you that's Happy Birthday in your mouth right there okay I'm gonna do sea salt next just a little there's almost he did kind of season with a little bit of salt but it's barely salty but just with a little bit of that sea salt it's just so easy to eat like you're not even thinking about it and you're just like chewing and biting through it that's so tender and juicy it's so flavorful this one is the tenderloin you can see it's thinner but maybe it's not quite as marbled and fatty as the sirloin but still looks as juicy I gotta taste this straight first too I think I like that even better that has a totally different texture it's not as doesn't taste as fatty but you taste the red meat more in it and more of that Bloody juicy beefy taste to it they're both insanely good I think I like that one better just right off the bat yeah oh man that's good that one just blew me away that bike was insane a little bit of Wasabi and a little bit of salt all the tenderloin wow with that Wasabi because it's freshly grated it has a sweet taste to it it's not overly pungent that piece is unbelievable look at that squeeze it just bulges oh we still have more beef coming I'm gonna try this with a little bit of salt and then a little bit of that Yuzu I believe oh it's just starting to liquefy hmm this one is definitely the fattier the oilier of the tube I mean of course they're both incredibly insanely good some of the world's best beef what that user was nice too it brings out the Citrus notes um I believe that it has a little bit of a green pepper flavor as well and then balance with that Citrus Yuzu and then you can have some of the garlic chips as well as you eat just extra crispy garlic oh yeah that's really good [Music] okay he's gonna get started on the vegetables brownie gnocchi mushrooms moving on to the vegetables these are some of the brown enoki mushrooms which he sauteed in butter foreign just immediately burst with this earthy taste oh and that real crunch of those needle mushrooms mushrooms are delicious this is the Japanese purple radish that is so juicy over to the spinach sauteed in butter that's really good and these mushrooms are just incredible back to that tenderloin which I think is my favorite part but I want to try it dipped in this vinegar soy sauce oh that's pretty good that vinegar acidity also just a little bit of saltiness from the soy sauce it's not overpowering but that adds to the contrast of the the fattiness of the beef to like just break down the fatty oils in your mouth that is a piece of beef I'll never forget and just the entire experience you know of seeing the Miyazaki cows in the mountains when it's snowing this morning and then coming back here to eat the beef beef on the next level at the source and you know at the sources the best possible option oh it's just glistening so oily and reflective I really like it with that Wasabi too okay and on that bite he's starting on the fried rice it's just so fast and he just flies and he just does everything so delicately and I mean Teppanyaki is a little bit of a show because you get to see all the cooking in front of you as you're eating it but we haven't even finished that beef but he's starting on the fried rice now and it's going to be a special type of fried rice with chives Japanese chives which are in a paste so it's like a green fried rice we're gonna watch them as he makes the fried rice right now oh man he's just Fast and Furious it is a lot of fun Teppanyaki is always an adventure and it's always a theater of food if I know it's all the fried rice is incredible the flavor of that leek paste and then I think there are some that that pink radish The Pickled radish which gives it a an acidity and a bursa flavor and then the eggs are mashed up in there as well um that fried rice was really good really light and fluffy and just all the flavor again just coating every single individual grain of rice is making the toast now that white bread that has absorbed all of the beef juice oh and a little bit of butter is going on some extra butthole toast goes right into the butter oh he squashes it yeah that squeeze technique oh you can see that Sizzle and you see the oils and juices coming out of it oh that's what a move but then they sprinkle on some sugar Miyazaki beef oil dessert into your toast then you can choose from either cinnamon from matcha powder or cocoa that is the most luxury French toast Cinnamon Toast you will ever have with Miyazaki beef fat just absorbed saturated into the toast and then crispied with butter oh man okay dessert time so here's just the plain toast for for dessert this is just flattened with uh that's I think that's the golden butter side and that is the beef fat side this is the greatest toast and it just Cooks it so perfectly so it just Browns it so evenly so perfectly lightly salted that might be the greatest single piece of toast ever and I like how they flatten it to condense it so it's not so puffy and Airy that is so good show buttery and beefy oh that next level toast Cinnamon Sugar and Miyazaki beef fat [Music] that is so good it's so crispy and buttery the flavor of the cinnamon not too sweet he just put like a very light sprinkle of sugar on it so it's just barely sweet the crispiness the butter the Miyazaki beef that it's all absorbed it's all saturated so crispy I think that's the best ever possible Cinnamon Toast on Earth last bite a little cinnamon up my nose but what a meal what a day I love visiting the farm and this Teppanyaki experience to end it it's a beef memory I will never forget in Miyazaki okay we finished with that Teppanyaki meal and our total bill came to 21 800 Yen and again oh yeah we had the hamburger the greatest hamburger which was 1 200. I think that's a good good amount and also just to get that taste that being said what I would like to say about the price is that I mean that was that's affordable that's so much value for your money I mean if you have that same steak I believe in Tokyo it would be double or triple the cost maybe more and if you have that outside somewhere around the world you'll find Miyazaki beef that comes from Miyazaki but it would be four times five times who knows how many times it's more expensive so coming to the local source and eating Miyazaki beef in Miyazaki you will get the greatest value for your money and that really is not a bad deal at all Unforgettable beef experience and so that completes this Miyazaki beef tour I'll have all the information in the description box below and I want to say a big thank you to Kyushu tourism visit Kyushu for arranging for making the reservations for setting up this day and for helping plan this and that's gonna be it for this video I want to say a big thank you to you for watching this video please remember to give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it leave a comment below I'd love to hear from you and if you're not already subscribed make sure you subscribe now for lots more food and travel videos and also be sure to watch this entire Japan as we're focusing on the island of Kyushu and traveling around and trying some of the greatest ingredients this island has to offer some incredible Japanese food that you're not going to want to miss so be sure to stay tuned and watch this entire series and that's going to be it goodbye from Miyazaki and I will see you on the next video thanks again for watching [Music]
