Wagyu and Kobe-style Beef

Wagyu is a particular breed of Japanese cattle known for its intense marbling and high percentage of unsaturated fat. The meat is internationally renowned for its quality, enhanced flavour and tenderness. Eating beef in Japan is a relatively new phenomenon - these cattle were originally used as work animals.  Wagyu beef is now farmed in many different parts of the world, including North and South America, Australia and the UK.
