Wagyu Steak
For starters, the term kobe is something derived from the city of Kobe, which is the capital of the Hyogo prefecture in the country of Japan. It is in this prefecture, where a particular breed of Wagyu cattle known as Tajima is being raised for more than 2000 years now. The fact is that Wagyu cattle was not a native of Japan and culture of this country did not start including beef in the culture a century ago.

Even though, the terms Wagyu and Kobe beef are used interchangeably, it will be surprising for most of us to learn that the true Kobe beef is not the one that is actually exported from Japan. Even though, there are four different types of Wagyu cattle, the government of Japan has strictly regulated the term ‘Kobe beef’ to Wagyu cattle that is born and slaughtered from the Hyogo Prefecture. The bad thing here is that the term is generally misused, thereby leading to a lot of confusion among consumers between these two types.
