Saw an ad on newspaper and they are doing promotion for $39.95 - 6oz Kobe beef with pasta or rice, soup + drinks.  Anybody try it? Plan to have a try, and if you try it, please leave some comment for me, thank you!

I think they really mean they are serving Australian Wagyu beef

    My understanding is that the Kobe beef sold in NA may not be raised or imported from Japan. But it could we raised by the same method in NA thus the name Kobe beef.

Btw, dunno about US, but in Canada we can get Japanese Kobe beef:

If memory serves me right


The difference is that the

US   Wagyu is Japanese Wagyu cross breed with US Angus,
while the Aussie Wagyu  are pure breed  Japanese Wagyu cows
raised in Australia, much more resembled the native one, good for
teppanyaki and thin cut grilling.
While the US one to be less fatty, but more pronounced beefy taste
good for  high end steak; and way less expensive.

My point is: they should call them Australia Wagyu instead of Kobe beef.

Yes, it has nothing to do with Kobe,
but then Kobe beef is a generic name for Wagyu beef,
to be used for Teppanyaki  style restaurants globally.
Well, I seldom eat red meat, not really my problem.

Australia Kobe Beef or Australia Wagyu Beef is like saying California champagne !!

So 龍崗雞 produced by farms in Hong Kong should not be called 龍崗雞.
