Japanese have the intelligence, the hard working ethics and the infinite subtlety that runs through old civilization to make anything and everything excellent. Thank you for sharing with the rest of the world.
You really should calm down
So true and they've been that way for thousands of years, but they were also arrogant militarily speaking. They had never been defeated in war until 1945. A change in their world vision was inevitable and necessary. Don't get me wrong, the Japanese people have always been wonderful, considerate and intelligent people it was their leadership and military commanders. I guess I should add that several nations with great military strength should observe and listen to their people concerning war, look back on history so to speak. For those who have seen war up close and personal they know how horrible it is and how much pain it levels on their sliders and people. Didn't mean to write you a novel friend, just wanted to agree with you and share some on my insights from personal experience.
I've made a video about Japan: czcams.com/video/bNXxkC5GB84/video.html
Every American business- particularly in manufacturing- is modeled after the Japanese way. In fact, legislators took action in the 1980s to ensure Toyota didn’t destroy the American auto industry because they couldn’t compete. They are the most resilient people on earth and no country or culture has transformed how they have while maintaining some of their most advantageous features.
Knowing white Americans he had to give it up before it was stolen.
"If you start listening to everybody, you begin losing yourself."
Very profound coming from an elder in the Japanese culture. They put high praise on functioning as a collective, vs the western philosophy which puts the individual first.
True
didn't he just say if you start listening to everybody, you begin losing yourself? meaning that by doing so you're losing your individuality? Cause he didn't say it in a positive manner, as it is good to listen to everyone and lose yourself.
Perhaps back a few decades. Today American seems to listen to the mass media.
He was praising individualism, not the collective. Right before he says "he should believe in what he does rather than listening to others' opinions."
artis1990 Shhhh, don’t disturb his pseudo-philosophy narrative.
If you are going to raise any meat should be done like this. These cattle are not stressed out. Many other meat producers should take note. This type of production should not be the exception it should be the standard.
Keith Cleghorn americans arent going to want to lower their consumption nor lose their profits. I agree. We all can do with a little less of everything.
He can afford to give these cows this life because the margins are high and the meat is expensive.
For your average grocery store beef, only way to compete is what you already know
too expensive
@@Mang_ulil if you go to the farms the meat is much cheaper
yeah,, look at the price!!! thats the diffrence between cheap and pricey!!!
Imagine being a wagyu cow, recieveing massages and stuff thinking life is good. But in reallity you are being treated good to taste better.
That's so lovely.
Treated way better than other countries
@@itogaichi your name tho🤣 aint no such thing as being raped by 3 girls, as long as they don't force you to do butt stuff
lirbic got no idea what you’re talking bout lmao
@@itogaichilol your name🤣
This is really how all cattle should be raised around the world
Dang Lin-Wang good in theory however if this is how all cattle were raised the world would starve
Not true, currently we have overproduction of meat.
Afillip lol. Too funny dude
@@fev4 I hope to see you donating your back yard for a handsome cow 😊 way to help the world
Then you wouldn’t be able to afford to eat it. Or you can make it for us. We will buy for 9.99 a lbs
They are some beautiful cattle.
I just cry. My husband passed away and I am disabled and my son was having a hard time with grief as I was. He didn't want to help with anything.
Our cattle were so beautiful. Black Angus. Certified. Had to sale them in January in the winter got low on hay. Didn't get a good price for them. The market was down.
Denise Pope I’m so sorry thinking of you and sending love
Denise Pope It can help to be happy for what you had, not sad for what you lost.
@@babybutchie it also helps not to “silver line” things to people experiencing rough times, smh
So basically this is how the promised neverland irl
OMG, you nailed it
Wagyu kids
accurate
This is so beautiful two countries working together. The Japanese way is very traditional and respectful to the animals.
japan is always 100 steps ahead in every aspect
milly clarke because they have an old tradition and they are made it with hearth and proud for their familly and nation
Not in military...cause they don’t have one 😜😜🤣🤣😂
TREY K. - TIGERZZz They had an impressive military when they had one lol....
Not in the offic work culture theyre not
@@treyk629 So they’re not wasting almost 1 trillion dollars on the military like the United States?
this is the most pure thing i've ever seen.
Last two words of this documentary are so revolutionary!
NO DRUGS!
Look how clean and beautiful everything is. The philosophy of wagu could change the world.
Japan as a whole could change the world.
Only the Japanese can make anything look mystic, and legendary.
I've met these folks and eaten at their property. They are the real deal genuine good people. They have a legitimate operation going. It is a great thing to see.
You mean the western guys ranch? Where is it might I ask? Or its name?
@@brandonevans6770 DeQuis is the family name. I was hired to draw caricatures at their party. They are such wonderful people and have a wonderful family.
Yaaa I figured it out after I clicked on the link in the description. I'd love to raise thst type of cattle! It woukd be awesome
"they are better behaved than most kids"
Mayumi Aguero than isn’t much to live up to
Sadly they ended on your dinner table
@@aaahdkaha6595 Mitsuba (•ˋ _ ˊ•)❤
I've raised cattle and for the most part many pastures in the smaller farms are raised the same way.
Instead of running around trying to chase everyone into the pen to get wurm treatment we just shake a feed bag or bucket they all race to the pen on their own. (almost all 60 head of full grown cattle).
@@oladeviale6552 in nature only few animals die of old age, in the most of cases they die by painful and gruesome ways like be eaten alive or diseases
No hormones? No antibiotics? Americans can not eat this. Too good.
Radu Nastase we Americans don’t deserve it
Yes, you do. Americans allow FDA to approve cancer creating food for the market. Americans allow Monsanto to poison them and the World with chemical agents.
@@radunastase7901 And yet the Americans probably still live longer than the people in your shithole nation
If it's too good for the Americans, it is probably too good for your shithole nation too.
@@VoltairePrime if you hate your nation and people so much. Leave. Go live in some 3rd world shithole. Or Europe, which is on the verge of civil war.
They are the freaking cutest when I went to Japan I got to meet some and they are so nice and friendly 10/10 experience
Do they taste good ?
@@hollowzangetsu You have no idea, how good humane treatment makes beef taste.
@@Aronnax777 Luckyy you man I'd like to taste wagyu someday specially if it was an A5 MBS12 . I believe I'd die if I taste it
@@hollowzangetsu but be careful a lot of people sell fake wagyu
It’s far beyond time to start to revolutionize how the meet industry treats animals. These beautiful cows deserve the wonderful life they have; after all-they give their life in order for people to be able to consume them. It’s my opinion that the reason why we’re in the situation we’re in is bc animals are living in absolute horrific and deplorable conditions for far too long. Many of the viruses that have threatened our health have come from farm animals. The disgusting environment that they are forced to live in creates toxic disease. You can get away with treating Mother Nature and her animals like crap for so long, before eventually she will backfire and refuse to no longer be treated in such a way.
My grandpa owns his own cows , they may not be like this but we live in the country so it has so many free lands and I do cherish it , we take care of them and they breed naturally
The idea or notion of what tastes good differs so much. Where I live, we like older animals especially in cows and pigs. Though they take longer to cook, we find it is more savoury and overall tastes better and we like meat well cooked. But not in the western countries and even in some eastern countries too. They like younger meat and rarely cooked in general. This type of meat, Wagyu wouldn't be of much value or sought after that much. But that's the beauty of the world.
Japan always makes quality products and even food and strives for quality, while China always goes for quantity and cheap quality....lol.
Jae Park well China is not a bad thing either. Imagine paying 5grand for your Iphone if China is not making it? Or a grand for your Nikes?
Most of the Chinese companies are run and owned by American business owners.
JWhisp That's one of the most idiotic things I've heard this week, and boy have I heard some stupid shit.
See Japan is expensive af. China on the other hand, not so much
its out of necessity dude, they have a population of 1 billion and rising.
I bought some ground Wagyu beef a couple of days ago. It tastes a lot better than "normal" ground beef.
that's stupid and a waste of money you should try the steak
@@Hema115 some has to eat the scraps.
It s a stress free environment and its natural NO DRUGS
No coke?
Dang, how awesome! And the land. Talk about heaven on earth.
The cattle lead amazing lives. They are healthy, stress-free, happy, loved. He lives with them, cares for them, massages them, loves them, share feelings with them.
The beef is truly world class, the best.
But wont your heart slowly tear away? Isnt it sad to raise them in such a loving and caring way knowing that you’re going to send them to slaughter, and then into the mouth of random people?
Wel it is his income soo ofcourse he takes good care of it😊
@@rusty1370 Yeah but raising cows this way is like raising your dogs. Would you sell them knowing they'll get killed?
Yeah it's sad but shit life ain't all sunshine and rainbows
@@syntiy5737 I know but I wouldnt kill my own dog and sell the meat. I dont think its very different from the way they raise their cattle. Only difference is society sees cattle as food and dogs not. So he convinces himself that its fine.
(not against eating meat, its just that raising it with love and then selling it for slaughter is psycho shit)
@@Robin-hv5tv That's just a cultural thing that values pets more. in china pet dogs are often raised and sold to meat markets for money, and its seen as perfectly normal over there. In fact when you go to a Chinese wet market you're allowed to pick which live dog you want to be butchered and eaten. You wouldn't do it but lots of other people would and do, its a huge source of revenue for the country.
loved that video -- amazing -- those cattle look picturesque --- like they are out of dream --- ever see such healthy robust cows ? Unblievlable.

How come daddy I"m supposed to die !
This man stepped into a golden mind by trying out that cow and finding the most valuable meat.
clearly his not a business man otherwise he would have kept it for himself mans a naturalist. Respect for you mate

Who cares
@@royhofer7611 who care about what ?
No one asked for your dumb opinion
Of course you do. Stop killing plants!
This is how it feels to be at pinnacle of food chain. You raise it and then you eat it.
6:15 And that looks like a good tool to have on top of your cows hay so they won't pull it out and drop it on the ground. It's a good simulation of ripping grass out of the ground. Prey animals are constantly having to loot about them so rarely would they be able to just keep your head down feeding.
A Man of God . A Japanese OG . SALUTE OLD MAN !
What’s the background song playing at 6:00 minutes? Also god bless this man who raised them 💕
It's not just the cow. It is the land management.
That was one of the best quotes ive heard
If you start listening to everyone else then you start losing yourself
Norman, Ray, and Emma are also part of this farm...
I wonder if when those cows are slaughtered do this hurt the farmer who had been caring of them for a long period ?
I don't know, but I'm sure it affects some farmers. I had a friend who grew up on a small cattle farm in Honduras, and he could never eat beef because he just appreciated his cow friends too much.

Gordon Ramsey needs to visit this place
Hi Joseph, how you doing. I was wondering if you could help me to get in touch with Mr. Shogo Takeda.
What a wonderful video! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Joseph Decuis in little ol Roanoke Indiana. Just down the road and fantastic!
Quality video and information. Thanks!
Aww he called his cow Cloud (Kinto)
Most of the quality meat will retain in Japan. 2nd best will exported to your country 😆😆😆...
You aren’t allowed to have a military lol
@@MrKrazykajun whats the connection with wagyu??
@@MrKrazykajun digging up the past eh
Like everything else if the market demands it the ppl will find a way . Just like silk or caviar , high quality steel , gold you name it . Spanish pork . It never ends
MrKrazykajun
Yet they still have one of the world’s best militaries.
It’s called Kobe when raised in Japan. Those same cattle are referred to as Waygu when raised elsewhere
Its called kobe if its raised in kobe.
The cows are so cute! 🥺
You too, will you be my black cow 🥺
If this was any other cattle this would be so inefficient but because the meat cost so much it is very efficient.
This is beautiful.
Wow, Japan is amazing! It's almost like wagyu comes from Japan!
Unknown Entity Huh? You do know that Wagyu means Japanese cow, right?
No, is that wa for cow and gyu for samurai?
Unknown Entity ... actually, Wa is for Japan and Gyu is for cow...
Commercial meat is raised more for profit, where as if you go to a local farm you can see how the livestock is raised and even buy one to raise yourself. My brother goes to the 4H auction to buy his beef.
I have often thought, could you do the same with pigs, chickens, etc...?? If you care for them for generations and feed and care for them, will the meat be like the wagyu cow??
Yes! If the will is there.
These cows look sooo happy
5:43 killed him to say that lmao
Forwarding this video to my Indian friends.
That is some amazing beef right there.
It’s crazy how much the quality improves when you actually care for your livestock. You would think that wouldn’t be so hard to understand
HeyItsKELS!!! Same goes to human being i think, especially the way how you raise children , less pressurised them.
In India, we go one step ahead and let cattles to be independent and let them roam around freely on city roads
Yeah they eat plastics and hospital garbage, they suffered so much these stray animals.
Thank you I enjoyed the video and history.
Fascinating. All meat should be happy and expensive to reflect a happy life well cared for life. Although 50,000 years ago ... there was us, Neanderthals and Mammoths so I take that story as a story.
30 min ago I air fried a 1 inch grade A5 tenderloin wagyu steak seasoned it with only pepper so that I could taste the meat and fat.. tell you, its very very good prolly the best steak I had so far. Better than angus or anything else.
Angus is all marketing nonsense. If you ever get a chance. Try highland beef.
Bison might be the only thing better!!
Genetics has more to do with the good flavour than the stress-free environment. As it says in the beginning, the best cattle were selected and bred. Wagyu meat is rich in fats, which add much to the taste.
Louis John
Well they're doing something right.
Stress free allow for more tender muscle tissue, as he was saying it's not something you can read out of a book, you have to be there, to feel it, to live it.
Cattle in stressful environments develop immune system difficulties that can negatively affect the final product, that’s why a lot of big meat industries pump a lot of antibiotics in them to prevent that from happening. It might just be me, but I don’t really want that shit in the stuff I eat
It's barely about genetics. How much fat a mammal has isn't passed down to the next generation. More than anything it's their diet and lifestyle. The other guy had it right about the hormones and stress. More stress releases more adrenaline, which over time will effect the final beef product.
good job bravo!!! keep up the good work i hope others will follow
I like how the wagyu has a anime origin story
Promised Neverland brought me here, idk why
Lmaoooooo same mate
this is proof too my theory that life is moldable...if you work a being in a certain fashion you can effectively alter their genetics through establishing and maintaing simple routines which dictates their development in all facets...
Andy Hasbrouck dogs prove that out
ungulates are genetically very plastic; you can select for all kinds of things with impunity, and show results fairly quickly. the problem with this breed is slow to mature, dairy conformation, variance in bloodlines, not consistent, and VERY slow to finish. Also, that big front end is where the lower cuts are, the back end is dairy type, heavily discounted "on the rail' or if you ever have to send to auction in N. America. Japan also controls their Supply Chain vertically with "assoc.", what Canada calls "marketing boards", which the USA says are pinko commie so no way. American cattlemen are THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY when it comes to change.
Blown away
Next video: Italy: the spaghetti Mecca.
Whuts Uhp
You obviously missed the point.
That's a silly title. Where else would a Wagyu Mecca be? Wagyu literally means Japanese cow.
Iggi Valencia yup
Iggi Valencia It's only silly to those people who doesn't know what the word, "Wagyu" actually means, and that's majority of the people. Even if the title was, "Japan: Japanese cow", not everyone knows Japanese cows are all raised in Japan. Like Chinese cabbage (bok choy) is not only raised in China. Or 'Bolognese sauce', not everyone knows the word "Bolognese" is derived from the word Bologna which is a city in Italy. That's like having a title, Italy: Bolognese sauce. Not all Bolognese sauce are produced in Bologna.
Beat 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Mic Drop walk off 🚶lol. Because I head now idea the title was "Japanese Cow."
Wagyu doesnt translate to japanese cow. If its in chinese its HeNiu which means Peaceful Cow.
Purebred Japanese wagyu is raised by Blackmore in Australia. Just a heads up.
Amazing video
I missed the part where this farm is located. Is it in the U.S.? Who is the 'Pete' Mr Takeda referred to ?
Leo Waisanen hmmm the guy is Japanese, he talks about Japanese culture, and wagyu translates into “Japanese cow”. You can also see Japanese buildings. I really don’t know where this possible could be
Great video
Those are some beautiful looking cows
Well, I came here to learn wagyu and I left with a life lesson: stop listening to people and stick with your grind
I think what he meant was do not let people distract you and focus on your goal.
Chalton Mumo your a shmuck
Yeah, it's natural until the day x of no return. i'm in between a steak lover and an animals friend here. This is a tought thing to decide. Still i think it's way better to eat a steak of that kind, rather than a steak produced for the mass market. The animals had a better life by far but the question remains. How much is the market share of Wagyu not in terms of it's price but it's quantity compared to all other?
how does the meat get into the packages? Do the cows just donate it? I watch a lot of Disney. Can someone help?
7:58 ok yeah, this is just the promised neverland cow edition
@ 7.25-the American farmer’s results looks great, but still doesn’t have the same level of marbling like the Japanese farmer is producing.
That’s because it’s prime plus, not A5. It takes years and years to develop the A4 to A5 marbling
I love japan...
@3:53 sounds like a hell of a birthday 😂😂😂
more and longer videos on cows please
That's so awesome
Man if all cattle were raised this way I would happily pay the increase in price for a steak. For now I have high blood pressure and avoid red meat but a happy cow is good
This model should be standard. All living organisms thrive best in their natural habit. The most detrimental factor to any system being financial or organic is human greed. Greed is a contaminant to all systems. If would just let go and flow with nature the reward to ones wallet and spirit will be everlasting.
But how did the cows get to Japan!?!?!?!?
If I'm this mans son, I'm like WTF are we doing...the genetics stay in Japan!!! It's famous now, you make as much money and don't let others steal your hard work.
Very nice 👍 i would like to buy few🤔 how can I please 🤔😳
1:52 they were not eating beef prior to that? Were they only drinking its milk??
fulaan1 He said they were being used as draft animals.
Wagyu is much like wine, takes on the flavor of the enviroment.... Taste different with all the suttle nuances, has extreme quality of taste no peer. Italian white are far second place...
And that’s probably the happiest meat you will ever eat
Promised neverland 😴😴😴😴😴
Only dislikes are from those who have never ate wagyu
Bows...to a wise man.
the cows are taken care almost like a baby.. btw i wanna taste wagyu one day
My biggest dream is to have wagyu farm in my beloved motherland the philippines sooner than later🤲
I don't discount vegetarianism, but I'm curious how much landmass will need to be used to generate the non-animal based biomass necessary to feed 7 billion people.
CyclingSJH the biggest problem is that people dont know what they want. Too much resource used, then activists jump in. Cut down on meat consumption, then people cry job and profit lost. Most have chosen short term money over long term sustainability.
Eloise Tugwell heeeyyy someone gets it! We would save so much water, food, and transportation gas fuels that are wasted on the animal agriculture if we didn't eat meat. Humans could easily survive without animals and would overall be better for the environment. Have you watched cowspiracy? Super interesting movie. Stay education eloise 👏🏻👏🏻
Livestock are able to use lands that cannot support agricultural (poor or thin top soil, hillsides, rocky ground. low rain fall, etc). They do not need grain to thrive or finish well. The grain fed to livestock is there solely to accelerate growth rate and white marbling of the meat in a confinement industrialized agricultural environment. Herbivores should be raised on herbs. The current industrialized model is based totally on cheap hydrocarbons. The problem is not with the cows but the way they are managed and the mindset of those that consume them (cheapest price per pound always wins). It is a complex modern problem that has a simple ancient solution. Graze animals where crops won't grow. Use animals to increase fertility of marginal ground to produce crop lands. Use animals to manage weeds and pests in crops.
Consider that the cattle have land to live,but also land is a needed to grow their food. Just feedinghumans plant material would require much less land and resource use.
You use and therefore lose biomass by raising cattle
Like to tell what people prefer to hear. ..
Seems like they really care of cattle, seemes like they even show the cattle love, but it's all for the green backs. Little do the cows know a perfectly sharpen knife is waiting for them to dismember every part of their delicious little body. I like the background music though. Inspiring.
Where can I purchase this beef?
What is the food for fattening male cattle??
