After that, he pointed to the tuna sashimi on the exquisite dinner plate and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, these sashimi are the meat from the two cheeks of Blue Flag tuna. The auction price of this fish is three million US dollars, but it is only the two cheeks."
Such a small amount of meat costs hundreds of thousands, which means a piece of meat costs tens of thousands of dollars, which even the best Michelin-starred restaurants won't have."
Takehiko Ito is not just talking nonsense. In Japan's lavish society, the prices of truly top-end and high-end products can be outrageously expensive.
The highest record of bluefin tuna auction, a fish was bought for a sky-high price of several million US dollars. Most of the fish meat of such a fish will go to high-end restaurants. It seems that high-end restaurants can eat this top-notch ingredient.
For just a few hundred dollars, you can get a slice of it in a restaurant.
But the real situation is that there is no way that the cheeks of tuna like this will flow into the kitchen of any restaurant. They have been cut off in advance by top gourmets like the Ito family who spend a lot of money.
Most people can't understand why the top rich are extremely extravagant. To them, the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ingredients for a meal are insignificant. In their eyes, the only value of a bottle of wine that costs tens of thousands of dollars is the moment it is opened.
Listen to a sound.
This is mainly because they are so rich. They have so much money that they can’t spend it all in a few lifetimes without racking their brains. Ordinary people can eat three to five hundred yuan a day, and a meal can last one or two days.
Salary, but even if a top rich man like Takehiko Ito eats a meal of 100,000 US dollars, he may only eat up the interest generated by keeping his savings in the bank for a day.
In other words, when he spends $100,000 on a meal, the proportion of his expenditure in his total net worth is the same as when an ordinary person spends $10 on a bowl of vegetarian noodle soup.
Although Ye Chen is also very rich, money doesn't mean much to him, and he has never had the habit of extravagant spending. So after listening to Emi Ito's introduction, he nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Ito."
, I’m not that picky, I just want to eat some home-cooked food, there’s no need to be so extravagant.”
Ito Nanako said with a smile: "Ye Chen-kun is not that naughty, but my father's mouth is very naughty! These ingredients are not just prepared for Ye Chen-kun alone. Even if you don't come to the house as a guest, my aunt will prepare them for him."
These are just his own food costs every year, which cost millions of dollars. I have no idea what he eats, and to be honest, this kind of ingredients, in my opinion, is more gimmick than reality."
Takehiko Ito laughed and said: "Nanako, everything in this world, as long as you pursue it to the extreme, can be called Tao. You like ikebana, so you will try your best to buy the most expensive flowers on the roadside.
You can buy a rose in a flower shop for three to five yuan, but those top-quality cultivated varieties selected from thousands of miles away can even sell for tens of thousands. Use the best flowers and match them.
The best utensils, combined in the most elegant way, become the way of flowers, but a bouquet that costs 100 yuan a piece in a roadside flower shop will never have anything to do with ikebana in a lifetime;"
"There is also tea. Ordinary people make a cup of tea, or make a tea bag, or make a tea bag and mix it with milk. These can only be regarded as drinking tea. Only top-quality tea leaves, top-quality tea sets, and matching
The most exquisite brewing method can be called the way of tea!"
"Although I don't know the way of flowers and tea, I know the way of food! That is to eat the best ingredients and drink the most expensive wine!"
Nanako Ito stuck out her tongue and deliberately teased him: "Just say greedy, why bother talking so much..."
Takehiko Ito laughed heartily, and immediately took a bottle of sake with "Fourteenth Generation" written on it, and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, this is not an ordinary Daichigami Shiro, this is the top-notch one in a million."
The dragon roars for nine days, and even the Prime Minister may not have a chance to smell it!"
"Long Xiao Jiutian..." Ye Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, laughed awkwardly, and asked him: "Why do you have such a middle-class name..."
Takehiko Ito smiled and said: "This is the unique sense of ritual of Japanese brands. Regardless of whether the product is good or bad, the name must be packaged in a high-end atmosphere. It is best to make it difficult for others to understand, so that they will think it is professional!"
You can write a book on the nouns in sake. Well-known brands and series include Black Dragon, Dragon Song, and Dragon Spring. The nine days of Dragon Roar are the ceiling within the ceiling."
Ye Chen looked at him and asked a question: "Mr. Ito, honestly speaking, is this wine good to drink?"
"Okay...does it taste good?" Takehiko Ito suddenly fell into deep thought, thought for a while, and said very seriously: "To be honest, Mr. Ye, this thing is far worse than Coke in terms of taste alone."
After finishing speaking, he quickly added: "But this sake, after all, is Japan's national quintessence! The wine made by Europeans from jerky and rotten grapes, honestly speaking, is not as delicious as grape juice, so isn't it also their national quintessence!"
"
Ye Chen nodded in understanding and said with a smile: "It seems that this Japanese sake, French red wine, and our girl Tiejiu koji have the same effect but the same approach."
Takehiko Ito laughed tacitly, clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Ye is right!"
After that, he took the initiative to pour a glass of sake for Ye Chen and said with a smile: "But Mr. Ye, although the wine is not very good, the feeling of being tipsy cannot be given by other things. Let Tanaka accompany us too."
Drink less, it will be more enjoyable if everyone talks while drinking!"
