Kobe beef. Kobe beef (ç¥æ¸ãã¼ã, KÅbe bÄ«fu) (KO-BEH) refers to beef from the Tajima strain of Wagyu cattle, raised in Japan's Hyogo Prefecture according to rules as set out by the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association. The meat is a delicacy renowned for its flavor, tenderness, and fatty, well-marbled texture.
Myth 3: Wagyu beef and Kobe beef are the same thing. A common misperception is that all Wagyu beef is Kobe beef. In fact, only .06% of beef consumed in Japan bears the Kobe distinction, and only 3,000 cattle each year are certified as Kobe grade. It wasn't until February 2012 that the first Kobe beef shipment was sent outside Japan -- to Macau.
