Hey folks, we recently visited Japan and being a bit of a steak lover I was curious about trying the Japanese wagyu beef – the top one: A-5 grade.
My wife and I looked into a few steak houses in Kyoto (Gion area) and were quite surprised by the high prices. Coming from a small European country, paying 150e for 150g of steak is A LOT.
After much consideration, we decided to go for it. I personally felt like it would be one of those things that I would look back on later in life and regret. After all, we aren’t frequent travelers and who knows when we would be back in Japan again to have another opportunity.
We picked out a restaurant (Premium Steak Wagyu Hanasato) and booked a table.
Oh my… to be honest I was a bit skeptical of all the hype… but this was hands down the best steak that I have ever had in my life. It’s not like your normal steak, it’s like butter melting in your mouth. Kudos to the chef who cooked it perfectly as well.
Now, I probably wouldn’t go again because it’s just too expensive to justify the price. But for a once in a lifetime experience? It is very much worth it.
If you’re a steak lover and on the fence about trying Wagyu beef, I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
