Although premium Aussie beef is pretty damn good too ;) it's just not Kobe beef ;)

I ACKNOWLEDGE what you're saying...australian beef is consumed in japan without doubt or reservation.....you raise a good point, my man....

:bow:

wonder if we can get a group buy going.. discount for buying 20lbs. :mrgreen:

no f *cking around i am seriously contemplating purchasing some of this beef...this is a FIRST, in america, to have such beef available....i saw the same flyer at the little tokyo mitsuwa today....

Once again, shut out up here. No wonder we have a San Jose-only ad this week. They can't be teasing us with that ad.

again i think it's a function of having more japanese ppl living in the particular area....mind you....the beef is only available at the costa mesa and torrance stores not even the little tokyo mitsuwa.......aren't many japanesed ppl or otherwise that live near downtown l.a.

:hehe:


why not live life a little...it's not like most of us buy that type of beef frequently.

it's like when i went on my trip...i made it a point to try some really high quality beef because it was an exceptional opportunity.

quite frankly Lawry's is not even that good... :sweat: there are much better steakhouses....even fogo de chao is better IMHO

about that second thing......well. :beaten:

he did say Lawry's and Fogo...

yeah? haha....


it's near the top of the heap in the japanese beef world, not the very top but dayem close, moreover it's a rare occassion...i haven't shopped at mitsuwa forever but i don't recall them selling such a product before.

i might get a lb, and share w/ the fam... mom and dad ate Kobe back when they were there.. sis and fam haven't.

sounds great, man.....that'd be a nice meal to share with the fams.....after that the ol' broccoli beef or carne asada won't taste the same again :beaten:

true, i can't let them make a habit out if it... though, my sis wanted to grill buffalo this weekend.
