Wagyu 📍Japan 🇯🇵 ⭐ 4.9 Discover Japan: tasteatlas.com/japan Wagyu is a term denoting a Japanese beef cattle breed (wa means Japanese, and gyu means cow). This breed has a genetic predisposition to create marbling of fat on the inside of muscle tissue. Average steaks have a fat cap on the outside, but Wagyu cows metabolize the fat internally and the fat remains integrated within the muscle. Video: IG simofuri.a5

@RadioMangiare Heel erg leuk item over sake alleen is het Junmai(pure sake) verhaal iets anders dan tegenwoordig wordt verteld. yamaguchisake.com/2020/12/16/jun…

Er zijn oneindig veel variaties sake en de drank gaat goed samen met verschillende spijzen. "Sake is heel makkelijk om te combineren. De zuren in de drank zijn, in tegenstelling tot wijn, harmoniërend", zegt Japanoloog en sake-importeur Dick Stegewerns: nporadio1.nl/nieuws/cultuur…

Working on a new special project and I can’t wait to tell more about it. For now I am however only able to show our first tasting session.
