The ultimate showdown of Japan's top three Wagyu beef varieties

[Wagyu vs. Domestic Beef] The Japanese's Most Serious Beef Battle | Three Classic Ways of Eating and Restaurant Recommendations

The term "Wagyu" is quite familiar to Hong Kong people. In high-end restaurants in Japan, Hong Kong, and even around the world, these two words are synonymous with high quality and luxury. But is Wagyu really the same as domestically produced beef from Japan? The answer is: no.

Strictly speaking, "Wagyu" refers to only four purebred cattle breeds: Japanese Black Wagyu, Japanese Brown Wagyu, Japanese Polled Wagyu, and Japanese Shorthorn Wagyu. To be officially certified as "Wagyu," it not only needs to come from a prestigious lineage but also requires generations of careful breeding and management; it's not enough for just any animal to be born and raised in Japan. The Kobe beef and Matsusaka beef that you're most familiar with actually both come from Japanese Black Wagyu—which dominates the 90% of the Japanese Wagyu market.

[Foster Family Diary 2] My wife's words started our foster family journey.

Last time, we talked about taking our sixth foster child on a trip, and we finally succeeded in taking him on his first airplane ride.

Later, some friends asked me, "Why did you start doing foster care?"
"Is it because you genuinely want to help people and do good deeds?"

But to be honest, the reason itself wasn't some grand ambition.
Instead, it was a decision that a family had discussed for a long time without reaching an answer.

I want to live in a city that praises...

I want to live in a city that praises...

When I was little, I always heard: "If you do well, that's what you should do. Don't be arrogant."

If you get high marks on a school exam, the teacher might just say, "Keep trying next time."

The family was even more direct: "Don't be so happy, your neighbor Ah Ming also got 100 points."

As you grow up, over time you'll find yourself developing a strange ability: to appreciate things from the heart and keep your mouth shut.

[Foster Family Diary 1] The Foster Child's First Flight

This is the sixth foster child we've taken in.

After overcoming numerous difficulties, we finally succeeded in applying to take our foster child on a trip abroad for the first time, which was also his first time on an airplane. Before departure, he was already excitedly counting down the days. He said he wanted to bring a sketchbook to draw airplanes and clouds. He also said he wanted to buy a new dress so he could look pretty on the trip. When we arrived at the airport, he was very quiet.

Once on the plane, Cheng Cheng stared out the window without uttering a single word.

I asked her, "What's wrong? Are you happy?"

After a while, he spoke softly:

Travel Agency Work Routine Vol.5 – At the Turning Point of Time

Travel Agency Work Routine Vol.5 – At the Turning Point of Time

In this fast-paced city where you can barely breathe, there's a travel agency called Travel Mama. This place is not only where I work every day, but also the factory where we turn everyone's "dream vacation" into a "real itinerary".

In the early morning, before the city is fully awake, our day at Travel Mama begins with the vibration of our phones. Back in the days of sleeping on the floor, we rushed back to open the door; now that we've transitioned to an OTA (Online Travel Agency), our work environment has a more homey feel. Although we can't sit face-to-face with customers, the absence of that cold, impersonal desk makes us feel more like family when we're all sitting together.
