I owned a simple coffee shop for several years. The break-even point, even for a small shop that roasted our own coffee, served a lot of lattes, and cooked simple egg breakfast sandwiches (to order), was that I had to triple the price to break even: food, rent/utilities/insurance, and wages. So, when you sit down at a steakhouse and order that $100 steak meal once a year, the restaurant has paid about $30 (wholesale) for that cut of beef.
Probably less, steak houses have higher overheads than a coffee shop and need bigger margins. more staff, larger venue, more equipment etc
I know of one Canadian chain of mid-range restaurants that had posted in the kitchens a running average of what percentage of operations budget was. If the food costs broke 3% of the total operating costs, it was a bad sign, and corporate would loom a little.
@@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO Japanese steak joints like these often have just 1-2 chefs (one chef and one sous chef) and 1 server. They have a lot of these places where you just sit around the kitchen, with maybe 8-10 seats in the whole restaurant. Many high end sushi-ya's are like that too. So the personnel costs arent that high, but of course neither are the seats available
yeah i've been in the industry a few years now and i've only ever heard 300%
This restaurant looks like a high-end teppanyaki, which is usually in five-star hotels and super expensive. So they usually don’t expect a lot of customers anyway. And as Guga said those restaurants typically don’t serve you a lot of food. I went to those restaurants once or twice before, and I had to go to another family restaurant for more food.
I love how Guga is always so happy when he sees another chef do something he approves of. 👍🏻
They asked a yakitori chef In Japan. what his favorite food was and his answer was : Food cooked by someone else, lol.
I visited Kyoto around ten years ago and walked past a restaurant one night. The owner spoke great English and beckoned us inside, where the specialty was to cook everything on hot stones, a style called ishiyaki. Amongst other things, he gave us a few small pieces of wagyu that are still some of the most memorable bites of steak I've ever had in my life. Melted immediately, total dopamine rush. Unforgettable.
When I was stationed in Okinawa at Camp Foster, some battle buddies and I hit Naha City and ate at a restaurant there and I order Kobe. At that time it was fairly cheap in 1998. It was equivalent to spending $27 US for the steak itself. Still the best steak I've ever had.
I think that the restaurant was empty because they hired a film crew to film and so probably closed the restaurant.
Or also they book a room so it doesn't disturb the other diners
You’d be surprised at how sometimes the best restaurants are empty. I went to Roppongi Robataya in March when I went. Had a great time and I was the only person in the restaurant. It was during the week and it was also raining so that might have been the reason why.
Probably not hired, or it would be the lowest quality production :D Most likely had someone there (management, friend) to film it on their phone.
Sure
Exactly
The price is wildly affordable. My wife and i went to a 2-star Michelin restaurant in Costa Rica, and after tip with 2 cocktails, 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, and a shared dessert it was 150 bucks. As a worker in semi-fine dining here in the states its impossible to find something of that quality for a respectable price.
I love your videos so much. They are so entertaining
I like watching them cook. They take so much pride in their dishes.
I've had lotus root kimchi before. To spice it up, they put slices of green and red chilis in the holes to ferment along with the root. Was surprisingly mild.
Almost looked like they were taking notes, which makes me believe they were there at an off hour to do the filming with less noise and probably doing a review.
Congrats on 2 M guga. Well deserved!!
Very nice. I lived in Japan for almost 4 years. I enjoyed their style of cooking.
Food looked amazing fantastic video thanks 🙏
Years ago my brother was able to get a reservation at Wolfgang Puck's Cut steakhouse in LA. The sampler was $250 for 4oz of American Grass Fed Black Angus, 4oz of American Wagyu (cross of the Black Angus and a Japanese Wagyu cow) and 2oz of imported A5 wagyu. And that's all that was, just for 10oz of steak, $250.
I went to eat Kobe beef at a restaurant in Osaka. The chef didn't cook the whole steak at first, he only cooked one bite all the way to medium rare and made me taste it so that I could confirm it was how I wanted it, then proceeded to finish cooking the rest of the steak. I paid ~430$ but it was worth it.
4:37 That tiny potion of food (steak with some veggies and a plate of salad) is actually just nice for an average Japanese, lol. Add to that a beverage and a dessert, or an additional small bowl of rice if you are really hungry, and it's enough for a meal. The potion sizes in the west can be so huge for us smaller sized Asians, that it's hard not to gain weight whenever you eat out a lot.
I've had lotus root before and it kind of tastes like flowers It does have a crispy taste like water chestnuts
Shoutout Aden films……Been watching his channel for a few years now. It’s almost therapeutic
I went to this exact restaurant in Kyoto when I went to Japan in 2018. The place was packed with older Japanese business men when I went around 8pm. The place was empty in the video because they filmed the video outside of normal hours. I believe the restaurant opens around 5:30pm. The total price for two 200g (7oz) steaks was around $500 at the time. It did come with a variety of sides, but ultimately wasn't a lot of food. I honestly felt this was fine considering how rich the steak was, I couldn't have ate anymore (Although I wanted to).
Also if you check this video was posted "3 years ago" in March 2020.
People were aware of the threat of Covid just about to lock everything down particularly in Japan who had went through SARs in the past. They literally closed their boarders for ages.
I love your videos!
Gugas face watching this is like us watching his cooking, salivating
best thing to pop up on my homepage as im about to eat n watch a yt video
Why you have me drooling on myself Big G?
That looks tasty
Aden sometimes gets special access to to restaurants. That could be why it's empty.
Amazing idea
From Aden’s Film channel. He always has the best food in Japan and SE Asia
5:42 Guga looking at the meat and touching himself lol I understand.
Keep it up with the good work Guga , youtube food video like this are really make poor people like me able to enjoy great food cheaper by cooking myself
guga always know a way to make me twirl my stomach
Snoop : smoke wiid everyday
Guga : Smoke meat everyday
I wish I could eat that some day in my life at least once... Just like a Guga steak...
wagyu mean japanese cattle in japanese
the wagyu named after the placed of origin
kobe is just the well known wagyu beef because kobe was a harbor city
@Guga on Kadena Air base in the SNCO club, they have a restaurant that serves Kobe Beef (well they did about 28 yrs ago) and it was absolutely the best beef I've ever eaten.
Yep I visited Japan in 2010 and had kobe filet mignon. I will never forget.
Everybody is hating on Salt Bae and I love it! 😂😅😂
i love your videos man. keep it up
now that's an experience!
and I really want to try lotus root!
Thank you Guga for posting this video today! I was just told that I have a non cancerous brain tumor. This video has really brightened my day!
love youre vis keep it up ❤❤❤❤
I seriously watch this guy to listen to his voice. He has a nice voice. 😊
Ponzu sauce not mentioned. Also salty but has citrus notes. Included with nearly every steak in Japan.
5:13 Probably elephant garlic. Technically not garlic as it's only similar in look and flavor but not genus. I hear it has a much milder flavor compared to regular garlic and is also sweeter
LOL Aden films is so good. He's known for basically putting an entire mound of wasahi/horseradish on a bite of steak XD
love ur vids
I’m from Australia there chef Adrian who puts salt like u like feel go through fingers. But puts it on goes on the hot plate he has saying Salt Loves Meat, Meat Loves Salt.
3:50 I think that the reason it's empty is because they are filming at a time when it is not open.
Japanese restaurants highly value the privacy of their customers, and it is very difficult to get filming permission when it is busy. So more often than not, when a tv crew or CZcamsr wants to film a restaurant and review it, they get an appointment beforehand to film when there are no other patrons.
Guga vs Salt Bae Steak Battle please 😂😂😂
bro had a diagram showing the steak part locations. I never thought about that. Guga can teach a whole course.
You can eat really well at Becco in New York without wine for about $100 a person. Highly recommend.
The fact that we get free food & travel videos from Guga on CZcams is priceless; keeping the knowledge and entertainment alive. 👍👍👍👍👍
Not sure which restaurant that was, but I went to Teppan-yaki Gozanbo in Kyoto and got a course meal for around that price, with a very good portion of food. Was no joke wearing sweatpants because we hadn't expected to go anywhere nice, but still treated like royalty. Unforgettable dining experience.
When Guga says trust me, trust him, he has tested it
LOL. Guga about to have a foodgasm reacting to this steak vid.
talk about a misleading video title :/
😢
When I went to a Wagyu restaurant in Tokyo, it was also empty but we came around 4pm. It was a 3 course meal for roughly $85 a person. We weren't hungry after that, and it was the most delicious steak (Tenderloin I believe)... well worth the price.
well wagyu or whatever is like 70 percent fat so eating even 100 grams of it should fill you up
I looked up where the restaurant is, and to my surprise, it was on the east side of Kyoto(I live on the west side); a 20~30 minute drive across town can take me there.
I have to subscribe to your channel. You give the steak the honour it needs.
When Gaga said o yes papa😂😂😂
Makes me appreciate that we are growing so much Wagyu in Australia that decent rump is down to $55/KG (that's not much more than $35/USD). It used to be a super-rare treat but now I cook it every few weeks!
But it’s no way near real Wagyu …
the reason they dont have a lot of customers, because that place with 16k yen for 2 portion is considered expensive there. so even if they get less customers because the price, they still can still get profit enough from few customers to stay afloat
When’s to one of those in Osaka, it was awesome. $180 for two for A LOT of meat and drinks…
Loved the salt bae shade. 🤣
Teppanyaki food's flavor can actually be replicated very easily using just a pan at home, with salt and alcohol. The only difference is teppanyaki is cooked on a more showy type of cooking surface.
Guga livin' in United Steaks
I love how you find opportunities to insult Salt Bae! 😂
Missed out on my opportunity to go to a teppan steakhouse the one time I was in Kobe (just passing through, didn't make reservations), so I had to settle for some train station wagyu bento (don't knock it though). Those were some definitely reasonable prices, but that video was also taken in 2020, so I don't know what prices are like now (last time I was in Japan was 2022 and I didn't have any steak)
I actually subbed to Aden first before SVE (old SVE was really fun)
That f you to salt bae was epic 😂
I went to Ginza Steak last month when I visited which is all you can eat wagyu, final price was 13980 yen which is around 90 dollars. I was left in a wagyu fat coma lol, highly recommend.
I wish you would go to Spain to try Rubia Gallega. Grande Abraço!
My man really hit us with with "yes papa"
What is the potato item on the grill? A friend that lived in japan suggested potato oyaki, but google images look like that's something different.
Every restaurant in Kyoto and Tokyo were mobbed when I was there. Some were reservation only. I wondered if anyone cooked at home there. Very lively cities for sure.
i like lotus roots when cooked in pork broth soup with peanuts
Aden films. Love that channel
Try Mote Hin Khar with beef, It would be revolutionary. It is classic Burmese Noodle dish.
I think that was Daikon, not Horseradish. Daikon and ponzu are common condiments in Japan.
Gotta love a good message for Salt Bae.
It's probably because Japan recently got more strict with filming in establishments, so probably filmed during off hours, or maybe the requester reserved the whole place.
Johhny Somali?
For a way cheaper way to enjoy wagyu imo will be going to a Yakiniku place, its way more fun if you want to enjoy your time with your friends without any disturbances. These places are kinda pricey than usual places BUT its a nice show to enjoy with food
Lotus root is really good, especially in Sichuan hot pot.
I went to a teppanyaki restaurant in the hotel restaurant in Tokyo & the steaks were about $100/ea. they were amazing.
You should do a food tour in France as the one you did in Spain and compare the 2
Guga's prices are way off. Restaurants buy in bulk, and whole A5 tenderloins go for 150-200 USD/lb. He's right that restaurants in US (nor in Europe) can sell the set for 110 USD but it wouldn't be 1000 either.
Hey Guga, when is your rub coming back into stock? I was hoping to buy some for myself, but it's out of stock. 😞
I'll be judge of food, as your guest dining 💃🕺🎇🤣😂
‘Order extra’ , that is the phrase for life
Or that special dessert!
Worth it
Its actually at least three times.
When I was in Japan the cheapes I could find was $160.
Japan is a society at the next level.
Funny thing about using butter instead of beef tallow is that butter is still cow juice
Guga please make that for us!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched the original video and they were sprinkling Suntori V.O. brandy (if made in France it would be Cognac or Armagnac) on the meat and vegetables, not whiskey as Guga was saying. Sure wish I could have that meal at that price with entertainment!
Tip when you go to these types of restaurants is to go during lunch. The dinner sets are almost always at least twice the price.
When I was in Kobe, Japan, the steakhouse I went to offered higher and higher tiers. The more awards the cow got, the more expensive it was. My lunch was roughly $260 USD.
Agree with you
Can you show us how to make garlic chips and that sauce would be great and different to serve
Yeah when I was in Japan, I went to a Teppanyaki and I ordered 3 filet's... I remember, the dude was cooking at was looking at me in disgust, but hey bro, if Im spending $500+, Im not leaving that Restaurant hungry. Its a once in a lifetime thing. I knew they do baby portions, so I came prepared with money!.. And even the 3 medallions wasnt that much in my opinion.
As someone who has had Kobe fillet, all it needs is salt and Kobe beef tallow, not many sides.
