    Next Meats Review walks through how these new vegan products stack up to the market and if they are worth the cost.

    An assortment of Next Meats plant-based meat products.

    Next Meats is a new to the US vegan meat brand that is moving plants forward. But how good is it? Today, we’re seeing if this new Japanesed based company can stack up with others in our Next Meats Review.

    Next Meats is a Japanese plant based meat company that is focused on creating various cuts of plant based meat. The company launched in 2020.

    So far their focus in their US launch has been around creating plant based versions of various cuts of beef. This is a welcomed addition to the plant based meat market since for so long companies seems to have been focused on beefless crumbles and vegan chicken products.

    Today we are dishing all the details on price, ingredients, and our opinion of the taste.

    Make sure that you watch our taste test below and all the questions you may have should be answered below as well.

    Next Meats review:

    Overall, we were very much impressed with the products. There is a soft and tenderness to each and every bite that we haven’t taste with other plant based meat offerings. The mouth feel is something Next Meats said they wanted to perfect and they did so well in our opinions.

    We truly enjoyed each of the three products that we were able to try.

    The Short Rib and Skirt Steak tasted almost indistinguishable from each other. There was a slight flavor difference, but the texture is the same.

    We do also hope that as the products hit’s more of the market the price comes down a bit. At just under $5 a package for the best option, the overall pricing is high per page. We said that these would be single serving packages that would only feed one person on average.

    To sum it up in one sentence, you will enjoy Next Meats if you get a chance to try!
