Tropical Japanese delicacy

The other, lesser known star of beef in Japan is located almost 2,000 kilometers from Tokyo, on the island group of Okinawa.

Of course, you shouldn't eat Ishigaki beef in any old way. It shouldn't be prepared with foods that could mask its taste, so there's no dipping your piece of meat in mustard or ketchup!

The best way is to cook it to release a good amount of fat, accompany it with grilled vegetables, then simply season it with a little salt and pepper.

As for the price, you pay for the quality and the rarity of the meat. At a restaurant, expect to pay around $20-25 for 100 grams. But if you have the opportunity to cook it yourself, it will cost you about 4 times less. So head to the kitchen!
