Kobe Beef - What Is It

     Kobe beef is a product from the Wagyu breed of beef cattle.

     Today the Wagyu cattle are considered to be a Japanese breed of beef cattle that originated in Japan.

     The term Kobe Beef seems to have originated with and be connected to the Kobe region of Japan because it is believed that area consistently produced the best and most consistent Wagyu beef cattle.

     Some history tells us that Wagyu cattle were first introduced into Japan in the 2nd century to provide power for the cultivation of rice. The cattle were more or less isolated in smaller regions and not moved around much for many years. Cattle in the Kobe region seemed to excel but Wagyu cattle from other regions of Japan were not far behind.

     Wagyu cattle did not come to the USA until the 1990's. Through genetic technology and American Ingenuity the cattle have thrived and improved to a high degree. Today you can purchase American Style Kobe Beef and once you experience its taste and tenderness you are hooked. However, due to its budget buster price, it will remain a delicacy for most of us and only consumed on extremely rare occasions.

     The Wagyu Beef Cattle Breed is the breed that produces the world renowned Kobe Beef of Japan. The beef is extremely tender and tasty, with a concentration of flavor that arguably exceeds that of other common breeds. The texture of this incredible steak carries an extra softness along with that world renowned buttery Kobe flavor.
