The Truth About Real Kobe Beef 

The cows are not allowed to be too large - I think that is a good criterion. It can prevent overbreeding and also possible overfeeding. Great job Japan 👍

You don't need YT notifications if you're always on YT. 😅

For anyone interested in visiting the second restaurant, it is the Sannomiya Flagship Restaurant in Kobe. For dinner, it was ~$170 per person for a meal like what Simon and Martina had in the video. We went a couple weeks ago; the staff was super friendly and they spoke English pretty well. Best beef I've ever had!

Okay, the video is still playing, so I haven't even seen the whole thing, but I have to pause to say: Martina, you are so exceptionally beautiful in this video. Gorgeous, girl! And, uh, I like your lumberjack thang, Simon.

Hi guys! I tried watching some food programs on TV but they never do a great job like you do at showing the whole process and the final product in all his glory.

Simon: Eats the worlds best beef, but still want that duck skin thats on the ground

editing is really good! and as always, your content is so entertaining and informative :D

I just found out my city (in the U.S.) has two resturants that serve certified Kobe beef! Well, here I go eatin' again!

Martina: *flips hair* Me: GET IT GUUURL

Imma just sit here with my toast. It’s -just- as good. *cries just a little*

Martina’s time turner necklace makes me happy 💖

Excuse me, who allowed food porn on RU-vid?

As a freshly committed vegetarian, this actually really helped motivate me because I know that any meat I eat in the US will not come close to Kobe succulent perfection, so I have no desire to bother eating lesser meat at all :) I'll save myself til the next time I am in Japan :)

I always enjoy when you bring in experts to talk about their products. It shows it's not just cook and serve. It's the process of selection, grading, and pursuit of perfection that shows it's not just food, it's an experience.

You guys are really killing it with your content. It’s another level compared to most youtubers!

I wonder how many times Martina used the Time Turner to relive the shabushabu moment?

OMG Simon and Martina I’m so happy you did a video on Kobe beef! I actually live in Tajima, where the cows that end up being Kobe beef come from - the local people here are so proud of their cows, and I’m so happy you mentioned the area that has become my home! If you ever get the chance, I think you guys would have an amazing time up here with the mountains and beautiful beaches and all the onsens ❤️ plus you can even eat Tajima beef, from the souuuurrrccce. LOVE YOU GUYS 💜💜💜

The little dance that Martina does or the full body moment that Simon has when they put in anything delicious in their mouths is the *BIGGEST MOOD*

take me down to kobe city where the grass is green and the cows are pretty

those sumo earrings are absolutely amazing! and thank you for the insight on real Kobe beef!

your episode of parents visiting japan is unbeatable! keep on challenging!

Extraordinary beef + extraordinary RU-vid couple. Never clicked on a video so hard and so fast.

I've been watching you guys for years but I never comment. I just want to say that you guys helped me thru some of my lonelinest times. I've always loved food but you guys help me really appreciate my food. I love watching you guys. I feel like you guys are my friends and when ever you guys do videos like this I feel like it's a dinner date between friends. I feel like you guys have invited me to dinner with you guys. That's weird right! And Simon I feel you I drool like crazy watching some of your videos and I hear the choir of angels too. I really want to visit Japan one day and hopefully live there too. Right now I'm learning how to save money cuz I can't save for shit. Hopefully I'll get to meet you guys one day and tell you how much you guys mean to me and how you've helped me build my ladder and helped me help others build their ladders too. Lots of love ~Komal

I usually eat when watching your videos but my food wasn't done yet so I just kinda stopped in the middle and now I hope my food isn't gonna burn while I'm watching

Wow, great video. That looks amazing. Hey Martina, I remember you said you suffer from alot of pain and take pain medication. I notice that your eyes got a little watery after eating the meat with soy sauce. When I eat soy sauce my eyes get watery. Have you ever been tested for celiac disease? I was gluten intolerant but didnt know it for several years and the doctors just kept giving me pain medication. One day I decided to fast for a few days. Sure enough, I felt much better. After researching online, and getting tested, I found out I was allergic to gluten (soy sauce has gluten in it). I used to wake up with severe shoulder pains, and muscle aches, red eyes, blurry vision, very bad hip pain etc etc. I was actually close to getting a hip replacement because doctors thought my hip cartilage was gone. Talk about being misdiagnosed! lol. Essentially it felt like my body was stiff as a board. After I stopped eating gluten it all went away. I still eat some food that has gluten in it (fried chicken, shrimp tempura) but I know I am in for a few days of pain. So I will usually eat some of these foods on the weekend when I know I dont have much to do. Overall though, I stay away from foods that contain gluten.

The way you guys explain food omg.... you could write an entire book! All I ever say is “it’s good/it’s ok/I didn’t like it” and then end of story😂 need to take notes 📝

Didn’t skip any ads for you guys ❤️😍

This was a really, really good video!! There is so much information in it, and it was super fun to watch. I love the way you edit your videos. I don't think that there is anyone else on youtube that produces such high-quality content. I *really* want to try Kobe beef now! :D

Whohoooo! You guys posted on my birthday! I will consider this as a birthday gift! Will enjoy watching this more than usual! 😍😍😍😘😘😘

NOTIFICATION SQUAAAAAAD! What's the last thing you ordered for delivery? I just had some really good Pad Thai. You?

The “Yes this will be on the final exam” part triggered me because I’m taking finals rn haha. Every meal you had looked so good though 😍

One of the best vloggers in Japan👍👌 I'll have this Kobe beef one day. One day!

Ah i love your videos so much, from the edits to your personalities to how you guys sync together so much😍😍😍 keep making food adventures and your podcasts!! Always here to watch 😚❤❤

IT'S 8AM BUT I'M HERE TO LEARN ABOUT KOBE BEEF. I love you guys so much ♥️

God, getting paid to eat food?! You guys are goals

Paused Doctor Who for this beef. Committed.

I love how entertainment this video is, it's like I can learn something and have giggles at the same time! I would looove to have kobe beef soon!!! I hope y'all get more sponsored videos about food like this one!

This must be your dream sponsoring 😋 If you are not drooling 75% of the video then I will be surprised 🤣

Dang, those shots are lovely! I love seeing Martina being so happy just walking around Japan as well as Simon (and Martina, ofc) being so happy eating! This just made my day. Love you guys! PS: Thanks for taking/helping film the shots Dan, hopefully you got to eat some food as well? *Looks to Simon and Martina* Edit:OMG TIME TURNER NECKLACE YES! 10 points to house Stawski!

it's so funny though, I was just talking to my friends about Kobe beef and now these legends drop a video on it 😁😆 yay!

I love your necklace Martina! It looks like you have your own sailor talisman....and now to have food delivered!

Colour me impressed with that editing! Dang!!

I love how your videos have just evolved to like a mini documentary series. They're so beautifully shot and informative and entertaining. Keep on doing what you do!

The first time notif doesnt let me down Proud of youtube

Time turner necklace looks amazing martina

i appreciate that this video has flashbacks, considering martina's timeturner

I've been waiting for this video and it's incredible, as always! I am waiting for dinner atm and soooo hungry, you guys! Thank you for educating us again, hope to try it myself one day soon! Also, you both look amazeballs!

I just woke up and my notifications told me you guise uploaded 10 minutes ago. Of course I clicked, it's so rare that I am early. And thank you for making me crave beef🤣

It's been a while since I've heard Dan! Hi Dan 👋

This is the most information about Kobe Beef I've ever learned. Sorry, I live in an area where that's not common; closest place for me to get some is at least 6 hours away. I like there is a website to learn even more about the process and to verify the registration numbers so you know you are getting the real deal! Now, I'm going to look up restaurants I can go to for Kobe Beef when I travel to Japan next year.

Was worried about getting super hungry while watching this since you guys always make food look sooo delicious but I had a really shit day and watching you two has immediately lifted my mood. You guys help me build a ladder and I am forever thankful for it. Thank you!!!! for being fun and informative and inspirational and funny and so much more. Love you beautiful humans

Your videos are shot and edited so beautifully it always makes me feel like I’m right there with you guys on every culinary experience and adventure! I’m excited and intrigued, I love learning so much with your channel.

those final exam remarks are TRIGGERING

I haven't had breakfast yet and now I just want beef. You guys make me want to travel to Japan so badly. Btw Martina are you wearing a timeturner

Holy moly I never even thought about having kobe beef in other forms! I'm glad that you decided on doing this video topic and I love/appreciate how much effort you put in for research and interviewing and still being your amazing selves. Hope y'all are having a great day

Learned so much about Kobe beef. Thanks guise! Cant' wait for the next video.

This looks amazing 🤤 , I haven't had beef in almost year since I went vegetarian and I don't usually have cravings but man that looks delicious 😋. Also another upside of waking up early is I can watch your guys videos as soon as they get uploaded instead of hours later , honestly though I hate waking up early but I build a ladder more easily if I do.

SO HAPPY heading to kobe in a few days and was waiting for this video to drop 😊😊😊

Great video, as always! Just love your camera work. And of course LOVE you two, and Dan!

You did it again! Every time after I watched one of your videos my life just got a little better :) love you two

LOL cue food porn music when the lady walks in with the plate of food and martina was just staring

When the notif arrives and you see Simon and Martina 👌 👌 👌 👌 👌

The effort you put into your videos really shows. Loved this!!

You two are amazing!!! I have watched u for years!!! Your channel just gets better and better!! Sending you love and good vibes from brampton ontario!!

Thank you for the info! I already looked at the Kobe Beef Association site to see what restaurants actually carry it near me. Xoxo

I went to kobe last week to eat their beef. Beef will never be the same again.....

Lol!!! Simon & Martina: we need more meat because blah blah blah. Dan: I've got plenty..... Martina: ..shut your mouth Dan😂😂😂😂😅😅

I honestly love these informing videos. Not only is it visually pleasing, but you also learn something new. I also have a habit of loving to see the meat getting cooked in shabu shabu, so this is just 👌👌👌👌 And now I'm hungry again...I literally just ate.

hey guys!! this is my first time being part of the notification squad 👌 its an honour to finally be here 💖😂

God damn it, why did I watch one of your videos this late, now I'm hungry

Amazing Video like always😊 My Sunday just got better Have a wonderful day you two✌🏻

Every time I watch a video by you guys I learn, I laugh, I enjoy! Another great video 👍🏻

I love eating beef with gomadare(sesame sauce), that is sick.

All the solo shots of Martina are so pretty, she’s so gorgeous♥️♥️♥️

What a delicio- - I mean amazing video~! Love the close ups of the food and both of your reactions when you eat 🤩 Great work yet again!

The best way for me to watch this kind of video from Simon and Martina is watching while eating .. But then I finished my food and just stared at the video ...

Now this is why I bought a 4k TV!

9:55 i remember this from your podcast 😃

As soon as I've seen the title I had to get something to eat - it's nowhere near as good but at least I didn't starve watching... And added another thing to my "what to eat in Japan" list :) Your editing is solid, and it gets better with every video - kudos! Buziaki z Polski

Thank go I had dinner before watching! The way you describe food makes me even more envious

I'm vegetarian and I don't know why I'm watching this. Hahahahah

Now that's drooling time now!!!!!!! So orthentic quality the real deal there guys!!!!!! 👌👅

Next May I'm going to Korea & Japan. I feel blessed to know your channel! Thank you!

So I had my phone on silent and was napping when I suddenly woke up and checked my phone and I got the notification!!! Totally worth it!!!

that shot of martina having her hair brushed with air is so aesthetically pleasing i want to die hi mommy

Ooh the Kobe Beef video you guys were talking about! I am so excited and this definitely explains a lot. I find it's a sad thing when others say that they have something they really don't. Like just be honest with me that you don't have actual Kobe beef.

You guys did such a great job on this video! The production and editing and sound? Awesome!

I had no idea there were so many qualifying factors that went into certifying Kobe beef :0 Also nothing gets me more pumped than waking up and knowing I'm going to get to watch one of your guys videos while I eat breakfast!! Thanks for another awesome video ^^

I like your spirit of learning guys 😉

the infamous duck skin from the podcast omg

Great video guys! Really back to being a fun format! Love it.

Martina, your hair looks fabulous in this video!! Also it is now 8am and I want some beef! Thanks guys 💕

oooooomg ooi niku ten has a BOMB ASS SUKIYAKI W KOBE BEEF IT IS AMAZING every time i head to japan we never fail to go there!!!!!

Holy hell martina @ 2:57 she is beckoning the soups with her eyebrows

So sad I missed the notification!! Still enjoying very much my Sunday morning now with you guys!

Apronation complete nostalgia! Oh the glory of a new Simon and Martina video in the morning! Love you 2

WARNING ⚠️ Don’t watch while hungry...and broke😭

I've made it to the video so early!!!!!!!!! it's been a while

My friends and I are visiting Japan next year April, and Kobe beef was on our list! This video is perfect timing! ☺️

Martina is absolutely beautiful. I love you guys sooo so soooo so soooo much! You gives brings a smile to my faced when I'm battling through depression and anxiety. My aunt died two days ago and I can't even go to her burial so I decided to watch your video to try and calm myself down. Seeing you two be silly yet educational made me smile, thank you soo much
