Always best to start off strong, so here are the raw wagyu steaks!
The view from our table
An appetizer and some sake to start
These poor dudes were alive seconds before this...
Shrimp and scallops
Mmm
These pieces were basically all fat, so they were cooked for a very long time to make them edible
You can see all the fat... almost no meat on these pieces
Our table and view
Potatoes, lotus root, and the fatty pieces, still cooking
All done. Tons of flavor in each bite.
And here is the actual meat. High grade wagyu for 4 people
Sear is finished, ready to be sliced and ate.
Mmm
Perfectly cooked, rare wagyu steak with some garlic chips on the side
Ate most of my mother in law's steak as well. I can easily finish a 20oz steak by myself, but high grade wagyu is really something else. I struggled to finish about 10oz of this steak. Every bite has such a high fat content that even a small steak is very filling.
Definitely amazing, but not an every week meal.

OP, what is the story behind going there to eat?
LRRoo
I was in Japan on business, my wife tagged along for the first part of the trip, and her parents (who live in Korea) flew to Tokyo.
nlmaya
So, what did all of that cost then? Genuinly curious because I have truly no idea.

Yes, hello. I'd like the Wagyu Steak please... Well Done. *Screams Internally*
JessieJanson
Nothing wrong with a well done steak if cooked right. Most places cant get close. Right temp and time you get a sear +juicy inside.

About $120 per person for food.

The cows spend there whole life in a pen never moving or wandering. I lived next to farms that grew hay for japan.

What restaurant is this? Did you have to make reservations months in advance? Asking for a friend

It looks like it could be Esquire club on 52nd fl or the Shinjuku sumitomo bldg. Requires a membership.

As someone who lives in Japan, i'm pretty sure this is the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku. But, i could be wrong...
Nize426
I found it. It's the Esquire club in Shinjuku sumitomo tower 52nd floor. Bldg in the pic is tochomae.
Nize426
Disregard the little arrow on the pic. That just came with the pic I found. Shinjuku sumitomo bldg is the middle bldg

FYI this is the internet, and anyone can and will say anything they damn well please. For example: god is dead, Satan is Lord.

High fat content steak. 10oz of this steak is like 24oz of regular steak. I'm 6'4, 200lbs and this was a lot of food.
TanithRosenbaum
Yea but that kind of steak costs it's weight... maybe not quite in gold, but at least in silver.
Stostri
I've had it before. It's ALMOST as rich as straight butter. Trust me, that's enough to satiate.
wickld
Satiation is not the point. I bet you're skinny.
Stostri
You'd lose that bet. Go eat a whole tablespoon of straight butter, unmelted, not on anything. Ask yourself if you want more after that.

Just food was about $120 per person. I didn't pay, though.
iyedbeJumper
Sounds very reasonable
SirBlades
Not sure if him being in Tokyo is a factor but in my city, a wagyu steak and similar culinary additions would run about 150 per person.
TheusernameIwantedwasdoomageddonripto
Well guess that's a no go for me lol
SirBlades
If the opportunity arises you should definitely try it. But make sure to either reserve the cut or get there early enough to try it :)
trigger60
I have never understood the hype for wagyu beef....
GundamZeroSeven
I had a tiny piece at a nice sushi restaurant. Was $8 (Canada) for about half a slice of cooked, thick cut bacon sized. Would love a steak.
MrXoop
Have you had actual Japanese high grade Wagyu? In a lot of countries they call beef Wagyu that isn't genuine or high grade.
trigger60
I have not, but I have done some research on it and to me it doesn’t sound all that special, plus the cost turns me away 1/2
trigger60
I am pretty picky about steaks as I raised cattle growing up, but I just honestly don’t see the appeal, I am willing to try though if I can
MrXoop
I've had high grade Wagyu, and Kobe beef in Japan and it is truely amazing. I'm a city boy but have hit a few very good steak houses in my1/
MrXoop
2/ hometown and none of them got close. If you ever get a chance to visit Japan put away some cash and try it. Kobe beef set me back
ikagawa
Have you had it?
thiscommentwillselfdestruct
I have. Many times. I'd take a broiled ribeye over that any day.
LRRoo
Broiled ribeye... lol okay then.
AustinModdrell
I personally would enjoy my meal alot more if i wasnt spending so much time taking pictures of it to make people in the internet jealous.
ArsenalThePhoenix
you're not eating it while it's being made anyway....so i dont see why multitasking and taking pics is so bad
AustinModdrell
Im just old-fashioned. Its like people taking pics with their phones at a concert. You cant experience it if youre documenting it instead.
LRRoo
Trust me, taking a few pictures of my meal took a combined total of 30 seconds and didn't in any way inhibit me from enjoying my dinner.
ArsenalThePhoenix
actually, you can. If you can do two things at once...Which many can. Why knock something off just because you cant do it? :)
AustinModdrell
likewise, why criticize someone for expressing their opinion based not on ability, but choice? The whole multi-screening,social media . . .
ArsenalThePhoenix
and why criticize someone for criticizing someone who criticized someone? :D
AustinModdrell

derpwagon
Gross. That much fat is just pointless.
popejubal
Better than the same number of calories in carbs.
flapperfemmefatale
agreed. i hate massive chunks of fat in my meat. so slimy.
LRRoo
Its not slimy at all when cooked right. Instead, the fat breaks down and becomes tender. It basically melts in your mouth.
flapperfemmefatale
Yeah but I don't like chewing on fat to begin with. I'd rather just have meat
derpwagon
that sounds disgusting.
LRRoo
Well, we can't all have good taste.
derpwagon
eating pure fat isn't good taste, but you do you.

I'm pretty sure this is the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku.
JockMcSting
No......that is an Imgur comment......you meant "that is the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku."
ContainsNoMilk
It's probably the hibachi place on the lobby of the Ritz in Rippongi. 52nd floor of the same building Konami is in.
Nize426
The building in the photo looks like one of the towers of the Tokyo metropolitan government building though. To get that angle of the
Nize426
Tower requires you to be in the other tower. There's no other building that close to that building. But I'm unsure if there's a restaurant
Nize426
up there. Maybe the photo is zoomed.
Nize426
Ah, I found it. It's the Shinjuku sumitomo building which is next to the tochomae building.

We hired him to perform on a private island. The client (important guy) who booked him wanted it to be completely under the radar privacy..

Pitbull signed an NDA contract... and then totally instagrammed the location and name of the client... lost my dream job. Fuck Pitbull
