Kobe must be born and
processed in the Hyogo prefecture. Hyogo's capital city is
Kobe, hence the name. Only nine restaurants in the entire US
serve real Kobe beef. Kobe is a variety of Wagyu.
Wagyu is a Japanese
breed that can be raised anywhere. Wagyu, loosely translated,
means “Japanese cattle”. In the US, purebred Wagyu are crossed
with traditional beef cattle breeds to create American Wagyu
Beef. It must be at least 46.875% Wagyu DNA.
Every Kobe steak is
Wagyu, but not all Wagyu steaks are Kobe.
