Kobe beef is a type of beef that has originated in Japan. Cattle are fed very high amounts of grain and other high concentrates, which makes the beef much higher in fat and marbling than the American and Canadian grain-fed cattle. Kobe beef is very tender and juicy, and a delicacy in Japan.

∙ 12y agoKobe beef is a Japanese dish of beef from Wagyu cattle, which is a breed that is developed and raised in Japan. Cattle are not grazed because there are very limited grazing areas in Japan, unlike here in North America. Instead, with the higher availability of grain, cattle are kept in stalls and fed a high-concentrate diet, and, though this may be hard to believe for some, are indeed fed beer and given a massage every day. It is these factors combined that make the beef from these cattle be so high in fat and tender.

Is Kobe beef illegal in the US?
True Kobe beef from Japan is illegal to bring into the U.S, since 2002. Prior to 2002 some of the Kobe beef cattle from Japan were brought to America, and cross bred with American Angus cattle, and they have produced what is referred to as American Kobe beef. It is still considered by far the most premium form of beef in America, but it is not considered equal to the Japanese Kobe beef.
