Are the prices for the kobe and wagyu really worth the up charge over a filet mignon lets say? Are those steaks that much better? Also 4 or 6 oz seems really small

Not really a valid comparison as they serve different purposes.
You eat a filet (or regular steak) to get full but you eat imported Wagyu or Kobe beef to appreciate the flavor. The richness of the fat would get pretty gross if you were eating an equivalent portion to what you eat in a normal steak.

I don't find the local cross bred Wagyu to be worth the premium over Canada or USDA Prime.

I love my 10oz “Wagyu” strip at MS, it is very rich though and hits you like a truck.

I bought @Mibz a 9oz and he couldn’t finish it. The humanity!

I also blame @kenny for ordering like 6 lobsters.

Yes and Yes ..

Big time, but they taste quite difference, an "American" Filet Mignon could be ~10,000 yen plus in Japan, while Wagyu could be ~2,000 yen, even Kobe steak could be 5,000 yen in some "family" restaurants ....

I guess demand and supply .. Japanese love to line up for K F C in Tokyo, but not some mouth watering 750 yen Ramen .. lol

5,000 yen for kobe beef isn't real kobe beef then.

Very good experience overall.

Had the 4 oz Kobe beef and 10 oz rib eye with extra side of shrimp.

Kobe beef was excellent. Really melts in your mouth and excellent taste. The kobe beef is really one of those one-off, special occasion things. Worth the price as such, but not something I’d do often, especially considering that the “regular” cuts are also very tasty. Will probably try the wagyu next time, though.

Good atmosphere. Really positive, enthusiastic staff who were easy to talk to. Our chef seemed a little on the nervous side, but was still very friendly and as mentioned, food was excellent.

Another thing I found interesting is that they call you on the morning of your reservation to make sure you’re coming for the kobe beef. They must procure it shortly before your booking.

Food is very similar in price and quality to Japanese Village, but with the option of having Kobe beef and wagyu. Atmosphere is a bit more laid back and less rushed. JV can be quite a raucous and they try to get you out as soon as possible. Felt more relaxed/casual here.

Definitely worth a try!

Are we doing a meet or what?
