What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was particularly impressed by the premium Hida beef sushi, noting that the high-quality fat literally melted like butter on his tongue. He also highlighted the Hoba Miso experience at Kioya, where the combination of tender beef and caramelized fermented miso grilled on a magnolia leaf created an incredible umami flavor profile. Mark concluded that the region's fresh mountain air and water contribute to making Hida beef some of the highest-rated Wagyu in Japan.
