Показать описание
Japanese Wagyu Beef is one of the most tender steaks in the world, A5 ranked Kobe Beef may be the most famous Wagyu brand in the world, this Snow-aged Wagyu Beef from Niigata may have it beat. There are 350 Wagyu beef brands through Japan's 47 prefectures and this time we'll focus on another aspect of Wagyu that impacts the eating experience - aging. There's Wet aging which is the most popular in Japan. There's dry aging which is rare with Wagyu because it requires cutting away a good percentage of the meat which is already quite tender. Then there's snow aging which aged in a Yukimuro - Japanese Snow Cellar - for a month. High humidity, constant 1℃ / 34°F even in the height of summer. The snow packed around the storage unit is preserved until the next packing in March.

How does Snow-aged Wagyu Beef taste? How do you cook it? Is it really better?

I love these videos a lot more than the live streams and I really like the live streams too but these just bring back nostalgia from when I was a teen.

Once again, my mouth is watering and I am starving now. Deliciously prepared by Chef. Cooking in butter. Scrumptious! 😋 Thank you for expanding our knowledge of snow-aged wagyu. I had no clue there was such a thing as snow-aging beef! But now I know.

I'd love to see an episode about an ultra modern Japanese cocktail bar. I think it's so cool how they keep everything ice cold, and use specialized tools US bartenders don't bother with.

As A Vegan, I have no interest in beef, but as usual, your documentaries are well researched, expertly photographed, and 100 percent entertaining. Thanks John for helping make us the smartest person at the table! Stellar Job, you are a star.

Great video! I love steak and didn't know this kind of curing process existed. Really pleased to see the channel is still alive too.. was starting to think no more videos would be coming out. Keep up the good work!

Making use of the snow to age those wonderful cuts of wagyu! Interesting to learn that other things can be stored in the Yukimuro such as miso. Lol I love how you cut away to show us how it's aged just before digging in 😂 Where's the beef? Just ask John! 🥩👍
