  1. OMG this is the best video yet and I am not a huge fan of beef but you and your wife convinced me to try wagyu beef!!! 😊😊😊

  2. I have tried this type of beef only twice in my life, here in 🇨🇦, but it is way too expensive, but the texture of the beef is amazing, it melts down literally.

  3. Couldn't find any table for for 3 days for the last place. So I recommend making reservations early on.

  4. Any chance you will do some old school updated street eat videos soon? We're headed back to japan in october and i find a lot of the places from the old school videos have closed down since then. Love the newer content, but defintely miss the old school stuff. Love your work either way Paolo 🙌

  5. Can you please add the the App Store and Play Store link for the Tabelog app please. Can't see to find it or they look different out of Japan.

  6. Love the video, would've loved to see what the price per restaurant would be though!

  7. 3:18 what are all these explanations the chef is giving?! For goodness sake…GIVE ME BEEF TO EAT! I don't care about the details. 😂😂😂

  8. The "melts in your mouth" and "just butter" are not positive comments. Personally I don't like baby food, and prefer meat with a bite and eating slabs of butter is not enjoyable.

  9. Kuya im trying to find an Akiya Kn Japan! Do you know sny good agents that can help me get s farm akiya? I wasnt something with good decent acreage or hectacres, thanks Kuya,!! Go go go Michael Jackson!!❤❤❤

  10. From San Francisco here, I might be the only one laughing at your “Tenderloin” joke and you said it twice too! Ha ha ha!!! Great video!

  11. wearing a green nike training jacket to a 250 usd dinner is so interesting to see. Why not put on a nice polo or dress shirt? The staff was dressed so much better
