Greetings e Big Sisters:

Kobe steak is different from any other steak because considered to be a delicacy, renowned for its flavour, tenderness, and fatty, well-marbled texture. Kobe beef refers to cuts of beef from the black Tajima-ushi breed of Wagyu cattle, raised according to strict tradition in Hyôgo Prefecture, Japan. The Wagyu cattle that produce this highly prized meat were introduced into Japan in the second century as work animals, used in rice cultivation. As beef consumption became more prominent in society, farmers began hiring workers to massage the animals' backsides to improve meat quality. The mountainous topography of the islands of Japan resulted in small regions of isolated breeding, yielding herds that developed and maintained qualities in their meat that differ significantly from all other breeds of cattle. Herd isolation and distinctive feeding techniques which resulted from the limited land availability have led to distinguishing features that make the meat both superior in marbling and in the ratios of unsaturated versus saturated fats. The cattle are fed American and/or British grass and grain, which is different from the more expensive Japanese feed.

The influx of Kobe beef has seen an eight-fold increase in demand for its product, which sells for as much as $100 per pound. In other words, if you were to visit a high end restaurant that offers Kobe beef as a dish, the price would be listed as "price upon request" or the price can start at $150++ (depending on the restaurant).
