 A steak cut from a loin wouldn't be called a porterhouse steak these
days. Back in the old days, you would be able to have something like a
strip steak or a filet but probably not a porterhouse. You'd really need
a piece of machinery capable of cutting through a bone cleanly.

 Check the prices from their link:
 https://snakeriverfarms.com/products/porterhouse-steak
 $139.00
The SRF American Wagyu Porterhouse includes both a savory New York strip and a tender filet mignon. The filet portion and overall weight is greater than our Wagyu T-bone. Average weight is 32 oz.
 And it does not look to have anywhere near the fat marbling of Japanese Wagyu.
 

 Not even close. I need more marbling for that price!

 Even their $10 premium gold level is lacking.
 No one beats Japan at things they do best.
 

 This is the truth! I remember when I was there, they'd have street food vendors selling wagye beef skewers. Expensive, yes, but it would just melt in your mouth. Absolutely amazing!

 Their attention detail every tangible thing is truly a thing to marvel at.
 Climb on a Japanese scenic restaurant train with me for some proof of excellence:

 Excellent, this could be the video for tonights "TV". Thank you for the link!

And frankly getting to see non-urban centric travels in Japan is a treat - so many ferries and trains, each one sporting the most wonderful vending machine dishes imaginable.

Ahh.. now I saw the flash lights. Perfect customer service, as always in japan!
That reminds me when I was looking to buy a european to japanese power adapter, since I forgot mine. I went into a huge 2 x 9 story electronics store, and asked for help. Instead of just getting the reply "floor 1, section A", they used a walkie talkie to send out a call, then they walked me personally to the section, and then with the help of the specialized colleague of that section, they then found the european adapter for me.
Never have I experienced such service in sweden!
I hate travelling, but I love arm chair travelling! I wish I could convince my wife about the wonders of arm chair travelling. ;)
