Kobe Beef Experience

[luxerio]

Had Kobe beef in Kobe earlier. Spent around $150 for A5 Kobe beef (sirloin steak). It was delicious, just didn't have the mind blowing, out of this world feel. It's soft, much easier to chew, but definitely not like what the food vloggers mention that it will burst out in your mouth. Somehow I am wondering if they are truly food reviewers or actors. I just couldn't get that kind of expression when I had the beef.

Don't get me wrong, this is definitely a good piece of beef. To put into perspective, will I queue 30mins for this? Maybe. Will I queue 2hours for this, it's a no.

FYI, I tried both medium and medium rare. Definitely, medium rare is better.

For those who have tried before, do you have the same experience or it's just me?

Which place did you go to? Maybe you don't like beef that has too much fats? I know some ppl who prefer ang moh beef over jap.

A few years ago, I went to ishida. Ordered one a4 and one a5 (tenderloin?), can tell the difference. Lattar more fatty and delish. Prices seems much lower back then in 2017 compared to currently.

But yes, ok to q 30 mins or so but not more.

Probably gonna try mouriya next week and will review.

Most if not all food review expression are over exaggerated. What melt in the mouth etc etc, talk until like eat ice cream.

Can tell Kobe beef is really more marbly than normal beef when you put it in your mouth. But honestly how much tastier can beef get?

I think just enjoy the taste ba....it's well-known that Japanese tend to exaggerate heavily when it comes to food reviews.

to bring up the experience it is recommended to eat a few pieces of well done sirloin first.

its not just japanese, is basically every reviewer. If they don't exaggerate, everything will be just bad, average or good.

no need to be kobe beef, just wagyu will do, from grade A3~A5(highest) will determine quality of marbling.

if within yr budget, can consider to try once for experience.

Not exactly true, I don't fancy premium beef. I went there just for once in a lifetime experience. It's good, just didn't wow me.
