Tender and succulent, Kobe Beef is claimed to be the best beef in the world. We’ll show you where you can get certified Kobe beef in London.
Kobe Beef
Kobe Beef is a brand of Wagyu (which means Japanese beef). The beef comes from the region or prefecture of Hyogo where the capital city is Kobe.
Only the best beef from the Hyogo prefecture that is raised and graded to exacting standards can be marketed and sold as Kobe beef.
