Press release: August 30, 2025 To Members of the Press We asked current high school students! “If you could only eat one cut of yakiniku for the rest of your life, which cut would it be?” The rankings are revealed! We conducted a survey of current high school students nationwide about their favorite cuts of yakiniku. Yesterday, August 29th, was Yakiniku Day. This is a commemorative day established by the National Yakiniku Association in 1993. It comes from the pun “yaki (8) ki (2) niku (9).” Their goal is to help people who are suffering from summer fatigue due to the recent heatwave eat yakiniku and regain their stamina. Their goal is to help people who are suffering from summer fatigue due to the recent heatwave eat yakiniku and regain their stamina. Many high school students in the Reiwa era still love yakiniku, and Many groups of students are now coming to all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurants. The number of solo yakiniku restaurants is also on the rise, making it an environment where anyone can casually enjoy a meal. So, “Houkago NEWS,” a marketing information site aimed at teenagers and current high school students, (https://wakamono-research.co.jp/houkagonews/) We asked current high school students in the Reiwa era to answer their ultimate question about yakiniku. Here, we present the results in a ranking. https://wakamono-research.co.jp/houkagonews/yakiniku-favorite-cut-ranking/

Among young people who answered “tan”: “Low in fat” “Light” “Easy to eat” Comments like these were received frequently. One high school student commented, “If I were to eat this for the rest of my life, I’d probably prefer something less greasy.” The light taste and ease of eating, which seems like something you could eat for the rest of your life, were apparently one of the reasons for choosing tongue. Also, The results also showed that a certain number of high school students “like the texture.” These high school students, whether they’re here for the rest of their lives or not, These students tended to answer that their favorite type of yakiniku was “tongue.” Ranked second was “kalbi” with 37.5%. Unlike those who answered “tongue,” “It’s fatty and delicious.” “Because I like fatty food.” “In the end, it’s all about fat! I’m so happy!” “Fat! Love!” Some people say they “love fat. High school students are still young. They say you can’t eat kalbi when you become an adult, but High school students may actually be at the age where they find kalbi to be the most delicious. As a result, it seems they want to keep eating it for the rest of their lives. “Kalbi is the best pairing with rice.” “It pairs well with rice.” Some high school students also expressed the same opinion. The top-ranked tongue is delicious on its own, but kalbi is better with rice. Some high school students also chose kalbi. In addition, the combined share of first-place tongue and second-place kalbi was 86.4%. If most high school students could only eat those cuts for the rest of their lives, We found that they tend to choose tongue and kalbi. Furthermore, “Skirt steak” (6.1%) ranked third. “It’s chewy.” “It’s soft and delicious.” Among other opinions, One opinion that stood out was that people could eat it for the rest of their lives, more than tongue or kalbi. “I like tongue the best, but if I’m going to eat it for the rest of my life, skirt steak seems better.” “If I eat kalbi for the rest of my life, it might get too fatty someday.” Some people have expressed opinions like this, Considering that there will come a time when you get tired of tongue or the fat in kalbi becomes too spicy, Some high school students seem to think that the well-balanced skirt steak is the best. High school students who answered “loin” (3.8%), which came in fourth, said: “Because it’s low in fat.” “I like that it’s not too fatty.” A prominent response cited the low fat content as the reason. This survey emphasized the point, “If you could only eat that part for the rest of your life,”. Therefore, when it comes to a lifetime, the answer seems to vary depending on one’s view of “fat.” It seems that answers tended to vary. High school students who think they can “eat fat forever” choose kalbi. High school students who think, “It’s going to get much fattier,” choose skirt steak or loin. The results suggest that high school students who think, “I don’t like fatty meat in the first place,” choose tongue.
