Timerider you are not well informed. Wagyu is not a region of japan. It simply means Japanese beef. And Wagyu s a breed from the Tajima Breed of Cattle

Wagyu is a province in Japan. It is often used to describe the method of raising Beef that SandyFL describes. There is not a Breed of Bovine called Wagyu (Regardless of what is said in the video) Most any steer raised Wagyu can be called Wagyu. Kobe beef must be raised in Wagyu or Kobe to be called Kobe.
Japan outsourcing to USA? i respectfully doubt that Japan would do such a thing. there as many as 262 small wagyu farms in japan. to keep wagyu from japan as valuable, Japan only breeds 3,000 wagyu a year. Americn wagyu is half half American angus and tajima, and it is not raised to the aspect of original tajima quality, i dont think japan would outsource that.
This is so awesome. The daily hand massaging of these cow's to break up the fat and tenderize the meat. How cool is this? Well, that is how it WAS done in Japan as late as 1960 when my husband was there on a U.S. Navy boat. Now, what is the truth of this so-called Kobe, Japanese beef? Another marketing trick? Maybe-maybe, not? People, please do your home-work, in all things & currently~in politics(president)~AMEN?
But the costs of land and grain are incredibly high in Japan. So many 'Kobe Beef' producers are now reducing their costs by raising Japanese-bred Wagyu outside Japan, in places where land and feed are plentiful - like the USA and Australia. These foreign Wagyu are then shipped to Hyogo, Japan for legitimate processing into certified 'Kobe Beef', for sale to the finest restaurants at extraordinary prices!!!
Why not do the processing in America or Australia under another 'brand' if you must. That's just wasteful and unnecessary if you ask me. And it makes the beef less fresh.
Ah, America tries to adopt another tradition and ruins it, again.

Sillyness. Destroyed the beef by grinding it and mixing it with spices.
It's specially marbled in its natural state. I'm American and ashamed.

@cliffcox66 I completely agree. My favorite way to eat Kobe beef is a kobe shabu shabu platter. Simply delicious and pure kobe beef!

Kobe beef in America is a mix between Wagyu "Kobe" cow and an Angus cow.

All I'm saying is that some American meat companies sell the "mix" as Kobe beef. When it should be labeled Kobe style beef.
