It is famous for its soft and tender texture, juicy beef, very low content of saturated fatty acids in muscle fat and extremely high nutritional value.
However, Kobe beef does not refer to beef produced in Kobe.
The grades of meat in Japan are very clear. For example, the cheapest beef is imported beef, which costs about five dollars per kilogram.
Next is ordinary Wagyu beef, and then the price increases in turn according to the quality of the Wagyu beef, ranging from ten dollars per kilogram to ten dollars per gram.
The most expensive Kobe beef is ten dollars per gram, and it is recognized worldwide as the highest quality beef.
This kind of cattle is only produced in Hyogo Prefecture, and only when it is cut from Tajima cattle and has passed the grade assessment and obtained a certificate can it be considered Kobe beef.
Often, the best-tasting parts of Kobe beef are the front chest and back, which are divided into plum, bamboo, pine, and rattan according to grade.
Therefore, even Japanese people, and even people in Hyogo Prefecture, rarely get to eat authentic Kobe beef.
One reason is that there are too few of them. There are only 3,000 of them throughout the year, and there are so many foodies in Japan, so there is not enough to eat.
Secondly, it is too expensive. Real Kobe beef costs ten dollars per gram, and a normal person would have to spend thousands of dollars just to eat a few bites. Not everyone in Japan can afford it.
So under normal circumstances, you can't eat authentic Kobe beef anywhere other than Hyogo Prefecture.
Even if you eat it, it is often fake imported beef.
certainly.
This does not include Nagano Nao.
No matter how expensive the food is, it is impossible to bankrupt Japanese Shengbao. As the president, he has set the entertainment expenses at one million US dollars a year, not to mention that he can set the entertainment expenses based on his own projects.
After receiving the cunning look from the little girl, the family of four rushed to the restaurant that Ishihara mentioned with their own ulterior motives.
It is a three-story red villa with a retro interior decoration style. It is decorated with four kinds of plants: plum, bamboo, pine and rattan. The environment looks very good.
It’s just that the whole restaurant is very quiet, which makes it seem particularly peaceful and quiet.
With the waiter's warm hospitality, several people entered the private room together. Nagano Nao looked at the menu and ordered the signature steak and teppanyaki. Then the chef brought a large piece of beef over, cut it into pieces, weighed it, and verified its authenticity.
The texture of the whole piece of beef is finely divided, and it looks like a bright red ruby evenly covered with snowflakes.
The certificates are, of course, complete.
This is a certificate recognized by the association, so famous stores would never dare to fake it.
Just one cut and the price is also a headache.
The first piece is 150 grams and costs 196,000 yen.
The second fastest one is 130 grams and costs 182,000 yen.
Listening to the waiter reporting prices and recording the bill, Nagano Yuki's face looked as if she had put on rouge, an unnatural red.
Speaking of this store, she had only heard of it but never been there. She never expected that the things here were so expensive.
After cutting the tenth piece, Nagano Yuki quickly stopped him: "Please don't cut so many. Ishihara and I have small appetites, so one piece each is enough. This should be enough."
"How can this be enough? Cut it all up." Nagano Nao waved his hand and asked the chef to cut the whole piece on the spot.
"But."
"Nai-chan, are you worried about not having money to pay the bill? It doesn't matter. Just act cute and coquettish like Chiyuki and Nini, and he will definitely pay for it."
"Why would I worry about such a thing!"
A total of 5248 grams.
The total price is 7347200 yen.
I ordered two more bottles of Lafite, which totaled over 10 million.
The store manager came over personally, bowed, thanked us, opened the wine, and enthusiastically changed the bill to only 10 million yen.
Signed the bill.
The chef then started cooking the meal himself.
The way of dining in a restaurant and at home is different. Dining at home is shared, while dining in a restaurant is separate.
Therefore, when the portioned dishes were served, Yuki Nagano's face turned green.
Ten million yen, if each person goes together, that means two and a half million yen. This amount of money is more than her total income for half a year, and she simply can't take it out!
What should I do? With the idea of asking for help, Nagano Yuki quickly found an excuse to pull Ishihara Yumiko to the bathroom: "Ishihara, what should I do?"
"Yuki, didn't you say he was your family's adopted son? How dare you order such expensive food when he has just started working here and your family has gone bankrupt?" Yumiko Ishihara asked curiously. She really couldn't believe that a new employee could be so extravagant.
"Isn't it obvious? This guy has always been very proud! And he just got promoted to department manager recently, so 10 million yen by credit card should be something he can barely come up with!"
Nagano Yuki said with a flushed face and some excitement that she felt terrified when she thought about the life of the previous generation who had no financial conditions and could only be slaves.
But these words took on a different meaning when they reached Yumiko Ishihara's ears.
"Minister? You mean your fiancé is a minister? The minister of Ohito Honjo? How is that possible? He's only 21 years old, how can he be a minister?!"
"This is a complicated matter. This guy worked so hard to stand out, he must have been promoted because of this. Yes, that must be the case. He is a male chauvinist and he must not allow me to work outside. Ishihara, do you have any money? Please lend me some first. I will never allow such a shameful thing as being a full-time housewife to happen!"
hateful!
No wonder you had to ask me to help.
And you still say you don’t want to go home and be a full-time housewife!
With a husband who is a minister and a patron of a large company like Japan Life Insurance, how could she not be able to afford it?
I see!
It turns out this woman was showing off to me!!
How abominable!
She is just a little prettier than me! How could she be so lucky to find such a talented husband!
Bitch!
I treated you as my sister, but you showed off to me!!!
What a hypocritical woman! "Actually, Yuki, your sister is right. It's no big deal if the couple is just acting cute and coquettish. Okay, Yuki, I understand your feelings. This kind of thing is indeed worth showing off, but I'm going to eat the big meal today."
'"Ishihara, what are you talking about!"
"Just kidding, that man is too cruel. He has tried so hard to get the lovely Yuki home, but I can't afford to split the two million. If I don't eat the big guy, Yuki, don't you mind if your husband asks me to pay with your body?"
