They can afford to feed them grain from birth. Only the last few weeks are spent in a feedlot in the USA. You don't get that level of extreme fat from a grass fed diet.

What the shit are you talking about? Most beef in japan is complete shit often filled in with filler. Are you Talking about Kobe style, Hida, or what prefecture also what grade?

Kobe beef is a meme and I don't understand why people jump on this shit when it isn't even A5 cut. Go to Gifu get some nice Hida cuts for like half of what you would pay for the shit they sell down in kobe, oh but then you can't meme about it so it must be bad!

You can get japanese beef most anywhere, but a lot is brought in from Australia where japs own farms or america surprisingly.

In osaka, now I do realize it is in some of the nightcluby area's but I also had it in Tokyo, wasn't that great. I'm always willing to give it a chance again, but rather would just go back up to Gero or this cool shop in Takayama called Butchers. Hida beef is a little better imo.

because america has the capital and the skill to produce that type of beef. but it's just more profitable to produce more beef at a lower cost than it is to produce higher quality beef at a high cost. it's just economics.

Good write up on how they differ, and it really isn't all that much. Doubt anyone going over could tell the differences.

>> No.11554218

Meat's a much bigger industry here, so the amount of time and manpower required to raise kobe style beef isn't cost efficient. The number of people buying high-cost beef doesn't equal the amount of money made on selling standard-grades, so basically nobody cares about putting that much work into it for less result.

It's because japanese prioritize intelligence over being obnoxious. While they work they're working on optimizing quality, when texans work they yell "YEEHAW PARTNAH! EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS, YEEEEE DOGGIE" while shooting guns in the air.

Nah they actually work on hiding mistakes better than anything, the amount of shit on some dishes to hide shit flavor or lack there of is meh. Just go there, it's fairly cheap out of LAX in spring only 450 bucks round trip

I've never been much of a traveler, but how do people go to countries where no one speaks your language?
I would think it would be extremely stressful and tedious to do anything, but apparently I'm wrong since I see so many people doing it on youtube vids and whatnot.

Japan has all things in japanese and english below on most things, Japan is probably the easiest thing to navigate as a english speaker. Most everyone takes english for 4ish years or so, you will be fine with english or google translate.

I used to get pasteured pork from a butcher who imported it from canada and it was far superior to the pasteured pork here in the US and comparably priced. Trump tariffs nixed that of course. Now I have to get my pork from a guy who imports it from Poland, which while not as good as Canadian, it's still better than US crap.

Because Japan makes their "beef" with loli meat, which is far more tender and juicy. They fatten them up a little to get the nice marbling.
