However, when Seiji said he could “go for” a beef bowl, he meant that in the figurative sense.
This beef is Matsuzaka beef, a full member of the holy triumvirate of top-tier wagyu/Japanese beef (the other being Kobe and Yonezawa beef).
We’re not kidding about the luxury, either, since this single can of Matsuzaka beef costs a whopping 5,400 yen (US$50).
Officially, K&K calls the product Matsuzakagyu Yamatoni (“Stewed Japanese-style Matsuzaka beef”), and it makes good on the company’s promise of thick-cut beef.
Matsuzaka beef is known for its decadent marbling, and each morsel was incredibly tender.
