What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was particularly impressed by the Tochigi A5 wagu steak, noting its unique texture that balances melt-in-your-mouth fat with distinct muscle fibers. He highlighted the dramatic table-side preparation where the meat is steamed under paper with a savory onion and garlic sauce. The combination of the rich beef fat and caramelized sauce on the iron griddle was his standout experience in Nikko.
