A5 🇯🇵 Wagyu Kobe Tenderloin BMS12 🥩 #steak #wagyu #beef
Half a million subscribers now follow Alpine Butcher, the channel whose about line jokes that the family, if not quite the people on camera, has been in the meat business for more than a century. The new work kept to one animal's worth of Japanese A5 Kobe: a picanha, a top round block, a flank steak billed as the nicest on the internet, a flat iron the title calls the second most tender steak on the whole cow, a tri tip and a tenderloin graded BMS12, the top of Japan's beef marbling scale.
That tenderloin is the week's most watched upload, past 125,000 views. Under it, one viewer asks which knife does the trimming, and another seems to think the butcher considers T-bones fatty. The tri tip trim, two days old, is the new video moving fastest right now.
The real momentum is a little older. A tenderloin breakdown from mid-September is closing in on a million views, and an Australian wagyu tenderloin from two weeks ago keeps nearly the same daily pace. Tenderloin, it seems, is what this audience comes back for.
Views ran somewhat below the channel's usual rhythm, with subscribers still arriving steadily. Even so, among the food channels around its size only Ryantagcoffee drew more views over the week, while Eating With Tod and Feast with Wei had solid weeks of their own.
