Is This Kobe Steak Worth $450?
This is the best Kobe steak ever imported to the United States. It costs $450 for 13 ounces and if it was sold in a restaurant it would cost $900. That’s about $90 a bite. That’s because It’s an A5 Kobe steak with a BMS of 12. In the Japanese beef rating system BMS stands for Beef Marble Score. The BMS scale ranges from 3 to 12, with 3 being a normal amount marbling, think what in the butcher shop at your high-end grocery store. The highest rating is 12. Steaks that reach that level are almost white with fat. Very, very few cuts of meat reach a BMS of 12. Over the last 10 years, just five BMS 12 beef loin sets have been imported into the U.S.

Is This Kobe Steak Worth $450?
I’ll stick with usda prime.:)
Beautiful marbling:-)
No I won’t pay 450 dls for half fat half meat I be happy with a 8 dls 80 percent meat 20 fat
I think we can all agree that marbling in beef is good but oh my goodness it doesn’t even look like a steak. It looks like a chunk of fat. Don’t get me wrong, I am a hypocrite I would absolutely try it.
The music over powers sides voice
All of that fat. I still want to try Kobe beef though...one day. Until then, I will stick with Brazilian steak and lamb chops.
MAGIC +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
More like a performance than just go ahead eat it, I'm a chef and eating is a pure casual pleasure disregard you are eating $900 per oz. Caviar or a Macdonald double cheeseburger Life is already so complicated please make your eating time a into complete joy and relaxation
+1 ( 7 2 4 ) 6 1 7 - 2 0 6 1
imagine burning it
Sorry your a sap! If it was $130 a bite, you would say it's worth it. $160 a bite, you would say it's worth it. What BS! had 2 friends try it and they it wasn't worth it. Waste on money they said. It melted in their mouth, but so does butter. Give me a nice hearty steak where I don't mind chewing with very good flavor at $20/pound over this overpriced over-rated stuff.
Kobe beef is really expensive. I've never had this beaf even though I live in japan. But, other bland wagyu are quite delicious😊 i highly recommend you try to eat japanese beaf when you visit to Japan after covid-19 goes down.
That steak was rare until you cooked it
white ppl dont get this litterly
No
So in a nutshell, it's expensive fat. Ha
the audio is TERRIBLE !!!
Poor cattle.
Guys, make the background sound quieter. It's really difficult to catch what is talking about.
AWESOME !!!!!!
AMAZING ++++++++++++++++
COOL +++++++++++++++++
Simon looks like the guy on the Big Short!
7:44 Did he really just reference gushers on the highest graded steak in the world? lol
Those guys are enjoying that steak.
An alternative to Kobe beef is Hanwoo Beef. It literally melts in your mouth 🥩
Absolutely No comparison. Hanwoo is Poop
the normally didnt export hanwoo,so outside of korea hanwoo would be more expensive than kobe
fix yourwebsite. i came to watch on youtube because of how unusable and how bad it functions
Usually people just bury dead celebrities
Serendipity restaurant at Cesar in Las Vegas, blew my mind with a dessert on their menu, Golden Opulence Sundaes priced at $1,000 and requesting 48 hr call in advance to order.
Wow destroying 450$ by cooking it wrong.
Stock’s are crashing, bitcoin investment Right now will be at every wise individuals list ,in a month you will be ecstatic with the decision you made today

+1 2 1 3 2 0 5 5 0 5 8
600 children died of hunger while you watched this
Thing about wagyu is that it's so fatty you can only eat it in small portion sizes. Unless you want a stomachache that rivals the Taco Bell bathroom experience. Still so frickin delicious tho
Has CNBC become buzzfeed lol
Without watching the video and reading the title alone, my guess is no, it's not worth it.
That guy is ruining the steak by grilling it at a Korean bbq with such high flames.
If you burn a piece, it’s like burning $100 each piece 😭
Can't wait til we can go back to Japan and try it there!
TIL all the Kobe I ate in my life are probably fake.
why do i get the vibe of the CDO manager from The Big Short from this asian guy?
Wow BMS 12, it's as rare as getting PSA10.
MORE STEAK
There’s no meat though, it’s all fat
The host just compared Kobe beef to Gushers candy. WTF. Worst host to put for fine dining review.
I have always wanted to expand my business but I could not do that because the cash was not forth coming as I had planned. Getting referred to Mr Andy Calistoga played a great role in that vision. Mr Andy is a great mentor and the best trader/Account manager on my list.
A n d y c a l i 9 2 4 @ y a h o o . c o m
Can you help me share his mode of contact I’ll like to speak to him
Money is never satisfactory because you keep looking out for more and more. I've alway learned that wealth Is created in the mind and that has helped me sites profitable opportunities when I see one.
I contacted Mr Andy Calistoga after seeing numerous testimonies about his trading abilities. He has made me a fortune ever since then
I've always wanted to invest in forex/stock trading, after a few trials I realized that trading without a good mentor and guidance is a waste of time and money.
Thats Asian owner just got free kobe
Tried my first Kobe recently and if was amazing
yeah, no thanks..
It’s worth it if money isn’t worth much to you
I think Wagyu is overrated. It jus tastes very fatty like Tuna belly I guess. Like you are eating a piece of fat lol. Some people like leaner cuts of meat.
Its totally worth it yolo
Oh boy it is totally unfair you guys get to eat this and I don;t! :)
I cook a lot of steak but would have a complete nervous breakdown! :)
Know I’m balling usually like Kobe. 😔 💜💛
Enjoy a beautiful Angus steak for 1/10 of the price
There's not a steak in the world worth $450. That's an obscene waste of money for a fatty steak.
Looks gross, like every other expensive meal.
I thought it's Kobe the LEGENDARY basketballer before playing the video. Still an interesting video.
Such a waste of money
If you go to Japan, specifically Kobe (name of a place). You can eat this for cheaper than $450. I’d say just wait until you visit Japan since the experience of eating it would be way better too!
@C You must be a virgin if you don’t understand this lol
@DGLS_Official But you get to go to Japan. I'd rather do that.
@Hank Channel But you get to go to Japan too
@Universal Chat wut
@DGLS_Official Matsuzaka beef comes from virgin female cows unlike kobe beef
Them: ko-beyyyy Me: kō-be (cause I know how to read and pronounce Japanese and I'm not Japanese. Also, I'm not an Anime fan.)
I’ve had Kobe beef and it’s amazing. The one I had probably had a BMS of 8. On the other hand I had a Miyazaki BMS 12 and it was just insane.
I am freaking hungry right now
Which restaurant have this in Orlando Fl?
That Asian dude sounded like Obama. Just me?
the chemistry within those two is amazing lol I ship them
i dont think he likes it.
Those rate cows like they rate diamonds
"Think about it one more time" As the other guy is already eating it
That looks so good z
If supply is limited on purpose then of course ppl will pay the price set. But it’s still a cow soooooo don’t think it’s worth it.
Short answer: if you have the money.
The $900 steak is doable if you go as as group of friends This is a sensory experience - a shared memory. No way I would eat a $900 steak alone even if I could afford it.
Those steaks look delicious!
I ll buy Grocery for entire month
“Think about it one more time” immediately eats it
korean guy looked shocked and confused.
I was like😂😂 they even had a little edit
Lol thought I was the only one who caught the awkwardness of that
Justin Timberlake
Looks nothing like him
Yolo so why not
Ill just have a cookout for around 50 bucks and it a success
My girlfriend will eat it well done 🙄
Well... It would be the juiciest well done steak she ever had!
Wasting money on cow fat🤦🏽♀️
The rich: 'Laughs' I'll take 10.
I don’t know if my palette would properly appreciate it. I’d love to try it sometime though.
I know nobody will see this but if you do I wish you nothing but the best!! STAY SAFE AMERICA!!
I did
Kobe that the guy from LA
R.I.P kobe
I’ll do a $90 bite
I’m pretty sure this is a reupload
that cow use a grommer.
Bro this is Luxury, not just cause it's expensive... the process, the rarity, the beauty of the marketing. I love seeing capatilism on a small scale.
Idiot's..
Can this be cooked on a Foreman grill?
but the fat is what really intensifies the flavor...I wouldn't compromise it on the GF grill.
I would eat it raw
That's a NY strip, not a ribeye
Short answer? No. My caucasion mom was raised in Tachekawa, Japan, right after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. She will be 82 in a few weeks. The cost per pound is prohibitive to most people on the Planet. $90 per bite, for a family of 5 kids, 2 parents = 7 mouths to feed. $450 ÷ 7 =... right, like that's going to happen, or NOT. No lol. Might I remind you that there is a Global Pandemic, not yet hitting its C19 stride. In February, a Novel Virus, called COVID-19. A few weeks later? Had medically mutated to over 30 different mutations. A few weeks later? Medically mutated to over 300 different bio-strains. That was this past May, 2020. Millions lost their jobs, apartments, homes (mortgages), etd, and you want the common people to pay $450 per pound for something shipped out of Kobe, Japan. Really?? Google it, people.
@Nelson W. ikr. And he’s describing the pandemic as if he’s in 2040, writing in a tattered notebook on a capsized bench found in a depressing desolate post apocalyptic world, right before he threw his journal in a time machine that posts his words on random UZworld videos 😂
lol What makes you think they're trying to sell to the "common people"?
No, it is not worth it.
6:33 what the? they didn't change the grill for the BMS12 Kobe steak...
the disrespect
Looks delicious. Can't wait for the pandemic to be over so I can go to a restaurant again
@DGLS_Official you’re just a blue state hating bigot. The reason why nyc area has it so bad is because there’s more millions of people condensed together. Compared to millions of people versus rural Republican states. Of course, there’s going to be more cases and deaths. But things are changing and Republican states are almost doing worse, 20-50% infection rate. NYC infection rate is only 1%-3% and we have probably 50 million more people in the NYC area (NJ and CT combined) then your tiny rural red states
@DGLS_Official so what’s your point? Don’t wear a mask? Don’t put restrictions and let people die? You’re probably those people who think your rights are more important. Your rights don’t matter when other people’s right to be alive is more of a priority. Think about your grandma, if you have anyone you care about
@Ruby The facts are completely contrary to what you’re trying to convince me of. The states with the most restrictions have the highest death rates. Just like with gun violence, the cities with the strictest gun laws have the highest crime rates.
@DGLS_Official look at it this way. Many democratic states cases and deaths are decreasing or plateauing. Republican states are soaring.
@DGLS_Official yeah but at least we are taking actions. While republicans refuse to do mask mandates and they are dealing with uncontrollable cases and deaths. It’s reckless
Good job with the audio
Guy on left is super quiet and guy on right is loud. Can't decide if I should turn volume up or not
Would the Cow who died for this be proud?
yeah I would
Hilarious! 😂 I wouldn't pay any steak this much no matter how good it is! 😜
I've had A5 kobe steak before and I'll say "Best steak I've had...but not worth the price". If you can, find a good AYCE place in Japan.
no
It’s not too much if you’ve got it!
