ART DIRECTION: STEVE NAKAMURA, PHOTOGRAPHY: YASUNARI KIKUMA, LIGHTING: HATAART, KOMADEN, PROPS: STUDIO ROOF, WAGYU: OZAKI BEEF
On shelf from December 22, 2015, the ninth issue of Time Out Tokyo magazine brings you a packed guide to wagyu, serving up plenty of top quality restaurants along with everything you ever wanted to know about the world's best beef. To uncover the secrets to its superiority, we interviewed chef Federico Heinzmann, who runs the show at Park Hyatt's New York Grill, and 'wagyu master' Hisato Hamada, founder of Viva Japan. Our first question to the pair was, of course, are wagyu cows really getting massages, drinking beer and listening to classical music? Find out the answer to this and more burning questions!
Since it's winter, we've also rounded up plenty of other things to eat and do in the chilly season. Gather round for some of Tokyo's top nabe dishes, spend a cosy evening sipping on natural wine, and choose between Hokkaido and Niigata for your dream snowboarding or skiing adventure. Finally, we bring you five reasons to visit Takashi Murakami's latest exhibition, where to shop on a budget, and advice on where to try out Tokyo's exquisite nail art. See, there's no reason to stay indoors, even on that one weekend when it snows in Tokyo...
