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.
Breed History. Literally translated, the word Wagyu refers to all Japanese cattle, indicative of the breedâs origin (âWaâ means Japanese and âgyuâ means cattle). Wagyu beef is often referred to as Kobe or American Style Kobe beef in reference to the region in Japan where the cattle were first raised. The original import of these cattle to the U.S. in 1976 consisted of two Tottori Black Wagyu and two Kumamoto Red Wagyu bulls.
