Chapter 1241 Kobe and Matsusaka

"Director Lin, did you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay, okay, where's Chairman Watanabe?"

"Like like, like like."

"Chairman Watanabe, please sit down."

"Director Lin, please go first."

……

After a comfortable spa treatment, Lin Qian returned to the Aman suite refreshed and chose a casual suit to wear on his body. Then he went to the steak house downstairs to attend the appointment.

Not long after Lin Qian arrived at the private dining room, Watanabe Shuichi also arrived on time.

When the two met again, they couldn't help exchanging greetings again.

"Waiter, take your order."

After the two parties were seated, Lin Qian called over the waiter who was always standing at the door, and asked for the menu in his hand.

"Is there any Kobe beef today?"

While Lin Qian took the menu, he casually asked the waiter.

"I'm sorry sir, our restaurant currently does not have Kobe beef, but our restaurant now has A5-grade Matsusaka beef, and it has been dry-aged for 29 days, and the meat quality is currently at its best."

Facing Lin Qian's question, the waiter first bowed slightly to apologize to Lin Qian, and then recommended the best beef in their steakhouse to Lin Qian.

"A5 grade Matsusaka beef?"

"Continuous dry aging for 29 days?"

Lin Qian was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no Kobe beef today, but when he heard the waiter's follow-up recommendation, his eyes lit up a little again.

Kobe beef is the most expensive Wagyu beef in the world, and Kobe beef has always occupied the NO.1 among the world's top beef in the past few decades.

Lin Qian has been famous for the famous Kobe beef for a long time, but until now, Lin Qian has only heard of it but never seen it. The reason is very simple. If you want to eat the real top-quality Kobe beef, you can only come to Japan in person. It is possible to eat it, because since 2013, Kobe beef in Wa country has no longer been exported.

Another reason is that the Kobe beef produced by Japan is too little every year. There are only more than 3000 Kobe cows, and at most it can produce about 40000 kilograms of Kobe beef, and the people it faces are countless in the world. , A gourmet who loves food.

The shortage of supply is normal. Even if you come to Japan specially for Kobe beef, you may not be able to eat Kobe beef. Misunderstanding is also the norm.

Because of this, when Lin Qian heard that there was Kobe beef in the steak house under Aman Tokyo, he decided to host a banquet for Watanabe Shuichi tonight, but unexpectedly, it came to nothing.

However, although there is no Kobe beef, but fortunately there is A5 grade Matsusaka beef here, and it has been dry-aged for nearly 30 days and has reached the best condition. This made Lin Qian feel a little comforted .

If Kobe beef is No.1 among the world's top beef, then A5 Matsusaka beef is No.2 among the world's top beef, and sometimes the price of Matsuzaka beef is not inferior to Kobe beef.

Most of the calves that can finally become Matsusaka cattle have to go through three years of breeding before they can be served on the table. In the first two years, farmers have to feed them a mixture of barley, bean cake, wheat bran, and straw every day; The cows are replaced with clean straw to keep the living environment clean; in order to promote the blood circulation of the cows and evenly distribute the subcutaneous fat, Japanese shochu is also used to massage the whole body of the cows; It is necessary to appetize the cattle with beer every day.

In the end, these Matsusaka beef will go through a set of extremely strict testing procedures. Only after passing the evaluation can these Matsusaka beef be truly called Matsusaka beef. At that time, it will have its own exclusive identity certificate. , the food company will keep the cow's ears and the hair on the buttocks of the cow for DNA query, so that when consumers buy Matsusaka beef, they can find out the birthplace of the cow and what kind of feed the cow has eaten through the data recorded on the Matsusaka cow label , meat quality grade, and even who the breeder is can be checked.

As for the 29 days of continuous dry aging, it is also a plus.

30 days, which is the most common requirement for dry-aged steaks.At this time, the steak has developed the flavor and tenderness that can be called a dry-aged steak. The meat will become very tender, and it will also have a mixture of buttery popcorn and medium-rare roast beef.

"Chairman Watanabe, it's a pity that there is no Kobe beef in this steak house today. Do you think the A5-grade Matsusaka beef can still catch your eyes?"

Lin Qian held the menu, cast his eyes on Watanabe Shuichi, and asked him with a smile.

"Director Lin, it is very lucky to meet A5-grade Matsusaka beef in restaurants on the market. As for Kobe beef, it is hard to come by. If you want to buy it in a restaurant like this If you encounter it, the probability is as low as winning the first prize in the lottery."

"If Director Lin is interested in Kobe beef, I have a channel here. I will arrange for Director Lin in two days, and I will guarantee you the most authentic and top-quality Kobe beef."

Just now, Watanabe Xiuyi heard the conversation between Lin Qian and the waiter, so facing Lin Qian's question, Watanabe Xiuyi smiled, and finally responded to Lin Qian.

"Okay."

"If I just leave like this, I'm really not reconciled."

Watanabe Shuichi's words fit Lin Qian's intentions. He didn't really want to eat this Kobe beef, it was just to make him and Watanabe Shuichi interact more frequently in the next few days, because As time goes by, the movement on Ares' side is bound to become bigger and bigger.

"Then it's settled!"

Watanabe said with a smile.

"it is good."

Lin Qian responded, then turned his head and said to the waiter beside him, "Since there is no Kobe beef, then let's have this A5-grade Matsusaka beef. Let's each serve 400g for the time being."

"Ok sir."

"The current price of A5 grade Matsusaka beef here is 150 yen per gram, do you think it is acceptable?"

The waiter knew that Lin Qian was very rich. This was evident from the Aman Suite where Lin Qian lived and the bottle of red wine worth millions of yen that was waking up next to him. But even so, what should be said must be said of.

"can."

Lin Qian responded indifferently, but he did some calculations in his heart. Based on the current exchange rate of 1:18 between the soft sister coin and the Japanese yen, 150 yen is about 8 yuan of the soft sister coin, which means that it is only 400g per piece. The value of the steak has exceeded 3000 yuan, which is not cheap.

Lin Qian was thinking like this in his heart, and opened the menu in his hand, and while asking for Watanabe Shuichi's opinion, he quickly ordered...
