How Japanese Wagyu Beef is Graded | Farm to Table ★ ONLY in JAPAN

- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- "A5" Graded Wagyu Beef is considered the best in Japan ー but what does that score really mean? We'll go inside to talk to the Wagyu Beef inspectors on the job at the Yonezawa Meat Processing Center to learn how they do it using the BMS (Beef Marbling Standard) and Beef Yield. After inspection and grading, we'll see them cut and distribute the beef to restaurants and supermarkets and try some of the A5 Wagyu special dishes famous in Yonezawa like its Gyu Nabe -- also known as Sukiyaki.
Japanese Wagyu Beef is quite different from other beef around the world and within Japan, there are so many regional brands. It's hard to know what the difference is between Kobe Beef and say, Yonezawa Beef other than the branding, but there are factors that can change the taste like climate, elevation, feed, housing conditions, treatment of livestock, and water.

You can see why this premium grade wagyu is so expensive, judging by it being such a labour intensive industry. It was encouraging to see the producers reducing their environmental footprint, therefore actively helping to minimize climate change. All beef farmers around the world could certainly learn from the practices of the Japanese wagyu industry.
I don't eat meat, John, but I certainly enjoyed this documentary. Well done!
By the way, I have received the Nagano packages about five days ago. Thank you! I will be filming the unboxing. I❤🇯🇵
@@AirCrewRani glad I re@d comments bc I just subbed to your yt channel ☺ and I can't wait to see your next video ‼️God bless you 😇 🙏 💙
Lol a new employment position is available
sory, dont call it japanese wagyu. just Wagyu is enough. Because the meaning of Wag-yu is Japanese Cow. so if u mention it as Japanese wagyu, it sounds weird. Japanese japanese cow? weird right
@@cb90222 oh, Hi! Now I know how you found me. Thank you very much for your support 🙏
I will be uploading new videos starting next week, actually I am thinking of bringing it back to "A little bit of everything" - art, vlogs and cookings, or stick to music and make a new channel instead. I miss posting other types of vides. Please stay tuned. 🥰
Reminder 😁🇯🇵 this is a new channel, ONLY in JAPAN * John Daub - check to see if you’re subscribed 🔔 so you get the next upload very soon! Thanks for watching and leave me your thoughts below.
Hi John, how are you? This is Jade here and I'm so excited that you're uploading a new video. I loved meat and I've never try Wagon Beef before but if I come to Japan, I would enjoy it for sure.
I've subscribe you and I really love your new intro sir because it's so cool! 🔔
👋🏼 Hi John 👋🏼 I have always wandered how this whole process was done. So interesting to watch. Thank you for such an informative video. Also, thank you for the hard work you put into these videos to bring them to us. It’s much appreciated. 👍
That piece of more than 700dollar you can buy a full cow in my country with great quality!!! Quality here is less fat in the meat than mixed fat on the way pf Japan!!! There are here some full grassfeed cow meat.... try the fullgrass grew meat!! It's my best experience. Even with the wagyu A5 that is amazing .... but loose in beef taste against fullgrass!!
Well it certainly isn’t that new anymore
So glad to see this video go up given the recent events in Japan. Glad you and your family are safe and thank you for still plugging away on content for us!
Don't eat the fat it is not healthy, clogs arteries and veins, the food and drug administration is trying to kill us. Cut all fat off before grilling
Lies
John, you’re the Babe Ruth of Content Creators; every video you produce is a home run. This one is no exception.
I heard Babe Ruth loved hot dogs! I wonder what he’d think with a Wagyu steak! 😂 thanks UFO Bob!

Always a pleasure to learn more about Japan and be presented the information on such a well prepared plate for us to consume. The text was exceptionally designed and every part was fun to watch. I just wish we had more footage of you petting the baby cow.
Maybe someday you can show us the behind the scenes of you creating one of these videos from the start to finish. I know there is so much work that you’ve streamlined by now.
Thank you again!
I love Japan.
The people,food,place,nothing describe..
It's excellent.
Their food is expensive but the quality is so high..
I can say Japan 🗾 is one of my nicest place I've been traveled
God bless
I've always wondered how the various wagyu grading works. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Great to see the different grades of beef side by side. Now my mouth is watering! Thank you for another excellent video! 😋💞

That pricing at the butcher's shop was incredible. To get such a high quality product for that cheap, what a treat.
Also my buddy works at a wastewater treatment facility here in the states and his facility does a biofuel recycling setup like the one you showed at the ranch. It's tricky because methane corrodes the equipment that's used to make power from the gas itself but it is worth it for sure
For me very high standard about cleanliness in Japan., especially the food...👍👍👍
Very interesting how Japan has conbined quality meat with a quality environment.Nuce to see you again.
I was watching your capsule hotel from 6 years ago it made me a bit nostalgic. I'm glad you're still making these videos. :)
I’ll never stop 😉 too many good stories and I’m too curious, and hungry!
@@onlyinjapan haha awesome man!
I love this level of detail on a single topic. John, your professionalism is unrivaled.

I've been following your content since early in 2017 before I went to Japan. The production on your values is unreal and I always feel so cozy watching it. Thank you for such great videos.

For my birthday I treated myself to some imported A5 wagyu and was blown away!! It's like meat candy. I wish I could afford to eat it all the time, but alas.... I shall have to wait until my next birthday.
Those Japanese folks are just fantastic! They do things right and take pride in their products. Damn, I wish I lived in Japan. I would weigh 300 pounds. LOL
Japan is all about quality ❤️
Honestly, beef/cattle farmers around the world REALLY could learn from the Japanese wagyu industry. They are making such great strides to reduce their footprint and I appreciate that!
Just wanted to say thank you for these videos, John. You're such a skilled and pleasant presenter, and I feel that you truly show the best side of each topic you display. Please don't ever stop doing what you're doing. :)
I really appreciate you work and quality of your documentary videos. Thank you!
Japan is amazing, I went to Tokyo and was in the bottom level of the subway system and still saw the exchange between two train drivers with almost no one around: they still carried out all the formalities of handing off control of the train to the other driver as if they were on the top level and driving the famous Shinkansen! Both wearing spotless white gloves and very clean uniforms, amazing. I went to the cheapest restaurant I could find in Tokyo on what I thought was an obscure level of some indoor mall and ordered steak and expected a typical American 'Denny's' style meal.... nope.. the steak was cooked to perfection and the plate was immaculate and had just the right sauce and veggies all neatly presented, what a treat!
It's wonderful to actually see how Japan prepares their best beef cuts for their consumers. You'll always feel safe if you know that the meat you're eating is cleaned, cut and prepared properly inside a very clean environment. My family loves steak.... New York, Rib Eye, T-Bone and Sirloin being on top of the list. :) Thanks John for the video. We'd sure love to try the Wagyu Beef in Japan hopefully in the near future. :)

always good vibes and good information on this channel. glad you and your family are safe after that earthquake.
You are one of many persons that have absolute best opportunity eating the best meat in the world. I my self never eat it and many years dreaming about it and and nothing ever stop me to keep dreaming. One day, i am sure one day i will have it.
Dream it, see it - see yourself eating it - it can happen! It’s quite a good experience at least once in one’s life.
I don’t care much for A5 but I absolutely love A3!!!
As always, another immaculate video showing some of Japan's finest delectable meat! Keep the content coming John. I can't wait to get back to Japan

Love how they are so environmentally friendly and try to utilize everything. 😃
John, I have to say this was a great documentary. Your voice is extremely soothing to listen to and I enjoy watching each and every one of your videos.
I'm Italian and I'm very fascinated by what every culture considers "premium":
we also like some fat, especially in cured meat, but all that fat, even if perfectly marbled, would be considered a "defect" in our "classic" point of view for meat. We like it very lean usually, and it costs more that way here.
Still I can perfectly understand the reasoning behind wagyu being premium and I really love it :)
Thank you for your point of view. It is true that in many countries we avoid that marbling (like with Jamón in Spain)... but I assure you. In the case of Wagyu beef, it truly enhances the flavors.
@@SystemBD I believe you, someday I'll try and spend some savings on a piece.
Try the Argentinian grassfeed aberdeen angus breed... for me is the best meat in flavour!!! It beat the A5!!! And is another league in barbecue of wood and time smoked while it cooked (asador style 7 fires Francis Malmann) try that is very worth it!!
It cost more every where man. It cost more because it is better quality. But it doesn't mean just because the price is higher in America compared to Italy, considering your comment, doesn't mean America is better. You have to taste and see
Yha, Thanks to show the best info about Wagyu beef with Japanese popular recipes, I really enjoyed your each moment when you're eating!
I've never tasted wagyu (I don't live in Japan plus it's probably too expensive anyways) but I've heard a lot about it. Its amazing how hard they all work to make sure the wagyu is perfect (they could even cut it similarly by hand!) so it's not surprising it costs a lot.
Absolutely flawless, silky voiceover John. Thanks so much.
Loved it John the display grid you did was so good for people to really understand the levels 🥩
And the shops prices were reasonable!!!
And yet again NO waste in japan I love that!!!!
Only problem is now I’m drooling here!!!!🤤 🥩👌🏼
Now, that’s some good-looking beef! 🥩 I’m impressed with those guys’ stamping skills. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I have never been to Yamagata but have that on my list of places to visit on my return trip to Japan. I have tried A5 Wagyu here in Honolulu and my-oh-my! What a wonderful experience that was. But through your video, I would like to try Yonezawa beef one day very soon! I thought it was pretty interesting to see how they stamped the A5 beef. I totally love your videos my friend!
I was wondering when we were going to get a video like this! This episode was really cool to watch and very educational. Keep up the good work, John!

Thanks john for an end to end view. Giving us the past , current and a bit of future of yonezawa beef!
Finally a clear explanation of the Wagyu grading system and how to eat the meat properly. And man that Yonezawa beef looks delicious!
Great video showing the practice of the grading and preparing of Japanese Wagyu beef in Japan and the food looked delicious! Thanks John!
Thank you for another awesome episode! Was really neat to see how they grade the beef. Time to go eat now 😆
Awesome episode John never have wagyu beef before looks very delicious thanks for share your adventure.
Thank you John! So happy to see more consistant videos back :) Best wishes, especially considering the earthquake that recently happened!
Another outstanding in depth video John, well done as always. Keep up the great work :)
Yes it's time for Wagyu Trilogy from different prefectures on what rankings from you
This year, I will take everyone to the next wagyu level! Just wait … 🤯
Really great episode! Learnt so much about the grades and preparation.
Boy did that meat look good. I was just salivating watching you eat. 🤤
Hope you and the family are well. The fact that you were able to post this episode I'm assuming so! 😎
As always, good stuff! Keep the awesome video coming!
Great video. It's worth the premium grade wagyu while in Japan. The producers are so loving to their animals. Thanks John for the wagyu insight.
This show has no bullshit. Simple and direct comparison
I always enjoy your videos , John. Keep up great works!
17:05 "make sure none of it drips down the side of your mouth" LOL 🤣
Everything looks so good. Would love to try all those different ways beef is prepared.
Japanese youtubers are living the best life, getting to eat Wagyu, writing it off as a business expense, and then turning the content into profit. No wonder why John is always so happy.
Yes is great meat!!! I enjoyed.. but i like more the fullgrass feed cow meat of my country!!!!
Ha! How to trigger a creator 😂 I know it seems that way … This episode took me a very long time to film and edit. Until you make an episode like this with music, narration, research into biogas - edited the audio clips to make sure the levels are balanced, fix the color from several cameras - there is NO leisure to this. It’s a job. Maybe other CZcamsrs vlog. This is not a vlog. This is a program 😉 long nights and days of work. Unless this episode gets maybe 500,000 views, I won’t make enough to justify the costs in time and money spent so I’m extremely grateful to the people backing my work on Patreon!
@@onlyinjapan yeah... also right now that there is a pandemic... I doubt it is easy to make videos especially if it is related to food like this. You even entered their stockrooms and farm. I doubt it is easy to get their permissions. I hope you'll get more recognized and get more subscribers than your previous youtube channel.
Another masterpiece. Thanks for your efforts to explain the Wagyu🥩 grading system very clearly. Very informative and complete. The meat 🔪 cutting part was also enticing. ❤️👍🏽

John you are great. Thank you so much for the quality content.
Thank you for this John. This was very interesting and entertaining.
Wagyu Beef is such joy and my personal must on every Japan Trip. Thank you for sharing
Otro de los miles de ejemplos del perfeccionismo japonés, ¡¡¡ los admiro mucho!!!!
Extraordinary as always! Thanks for sharing John
Please do Wagyu videos from different prefectures as a series, im sure people will appreciate the content and maybe personal comparisons between for example Kobe vs Matsusaka wagyu. That would be so amazing to see the minute differences between cattle breeding, taste, diet and quality of grades between the different regions of Japan.
Another great and informative video John! Thank you for making such a fun and educational channel. Keep up the great work! I love watching videos like these.
That is very awesome you did a great job John keep up the great work. This should be required for everyone to know where their food comes from it would be nice for everyone to have a clear and better understanding. And when I ever visited Japan I am definitely going to be checking out that place to eat.
I always Wow.. seeing how Japan really serious and care with meet like that Wagyu beef, even do a Rank. 🥰
Love this documentary format. Great video!
Can't travel to Japan yet but I still watch videos on what I can do when I get there. Thank you John I look forward to these kinds of videos!
@@jalanampang6338 yeah I know. I've followed the Japan websites regarding restrictions/ foreign travel and outlook not so good.
Great video! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you for showing us how this meat is graded. Great job and appreciate your hard work. Jealous you got to feast on such a great product.
Wow! Never had wagyu beef but this was great and informative!
Omg!!! You are making me really hungry with all that food 🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋 I regret not trying Wagyu when I was in Osaka, my mom said it was to expensive to try it and I’m like: I will pay you, when I will get a chance to try this again? She still refused and I didn’t get to eat any 😭😭😭😣🥺🥺😢😢
I love the food in Japan, can't wait to go back once they open up
Now i am hungry again. I miss traveling to japan and eat the awesome food. Cheers for the video.
Wagyu is heaven! Super like watching your videos well informative and entertaining 👌only in Japan I love Japan 🎌
Love your channel - thank you so much!
John san you're killing me! I need to get me some of that Yonezawa beef! I can't wait until Japan opens its door again!
Great video! Amazing to watch the process. Yum!!!
Wow, your video keeps amazed me, John. Enjoyable to watch yet very informative at the same time. Keep up the great work! 👍🤓👍
This channel is so underrated. Your channel is supposed to have A5 like the meat you just presented. Hope you will reach 6million subs soon. This channel is somewhere near NHK. I Like it and thank you for your videos.
As an NHK World reporter for a few programs, I really appreciate it and will try my best to get back to 1M subscribers! More content, channels grows *\(^o^)/*
Love all the videos, thanks John...👍
Just as soon I saw the notification, I'm popped in here! 🥰😍
Wagyu is never boring for mee 😆
Love your channel, amazing content thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome job John
This was awesome. Cheers!
Zach & Ai
Wow, incredible to see the process. Hope to blacktop Okinawa and Tokyo again one day have Kobe beef style Wagu
Great job, I learned so much from this presentation.
Now i need to try this, amazing job as always
I'm hungry now after watching this and I agree, eating meat in moderation is always the best
As someone who went to culinary school it has been my DREAM to try wagyu, even prepping it looks like a blast.
I didn’t get into the kitchen with this episode, more processing plants but I’ll try something new in the next one. It is really amazing to see the process upload close and learn about this industry more it’s amazing how transparent wagyu communities are compared to livestock in other countries. They’re proud of the work and they deserve a lot of credit.
Great! Like a documentary. Liked your video and look forward to the next one.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing it. ✌️
amazing as always !!!!!!
Beautiful presentation 👏 Too bad that we don't have farms like that everywhere and that quality system.
Well done, excellent work fabulous editing & audio
Excellent video and educational thank you for sharing. Thank yoi.
Very informative, I've only ever cut A5 once and the fat was melting as you handled it.
A mouth watering video! A comprehensive look into wagyu beef processing. Interesting to see all that goes into grading the beef. Enjoyed this John, now I'm hungry! 👍😋🥩
Not only in Japan but love Japan 🇯🇵
Going to have to get myself an A5 tattoo :).
Haha! You had me on the floor cracking up with that one!!
the factory looks clean. good content bro. make me have new insight. thanks.
This was really fascinating!! 🐄
watching this one episode at 1.35AM is so wrong... now i'm hungry and make me cant sleep
Nice video, John. Nicely done 👍
Wow this video production is world class standard. Keep it up.
Thanks you Cleef!
