What is kobe?
Kobe · Japanese
Certified wagyu beef from Tajima cattle raised in Japan's Hyogo prefecture. Rare and pricey outside Japan.
What it tastes like
Intensely marbled, tender and buttery. 'Kobe-style' usually means American wagyu, not the real thing.
Where you’ll see it
Luxury steakhouses and Japanese restaurants, though most Kobe sliders and burgers aren't true Kobe.
