The Tajima Beef meeting in Tokyo
I took a day off on 26th,
I attended the Tajima Beef meeting in Tokyo for the third time.
Each Tajima cow had its own unique characteristics.
It is whispered that this is the best Tajima beef food showdown in Japan. I am very grateful to have been able to attend.
Each cow is different every year, and the comparison is something that will never happen again.
The thickness of the cows, the temperature, and the length of the aged time has all make a difference , so each meat will not be exactly the same . The way of each person grilling the beef also makes a big difference.
This is something I have been thinking about a lot recently. Even if the same seasoning is used for a salad or a steak tartare, the finished dish will taste very different if the different people who dress and cut it
It is also interesting the difference in the person who grill.
The following is a brief description of the cows I have eaten.
