I doubt I'd like it more than grass-fed beef. But I've never tried it.
Anybody tried it?0 -
Nothing on that site is worth the price they are offering it at.
I looked at their seafood
6-11oz Maine lobster tails for only $159.00. I am selling Maine lobster for $3.85/lb right now.
Jonah Crab claws - 2.5lbs for only $69.00. I sell the whole crab for a whopping .35/lb!0 -

Those JAPS have depleted their waters so bad, 1/2 the weight of their seafood is "TEL".
BTW-"TEL" = Tetra Ethyl Lead. An "anti-knock" compound, or Hydrocarbon..0 -
I have had Kobe beef a few times while travleing through Japan. It is very tasty due to the high fat content. I enjoyed it and would recommend trying it. I have no info on the website you posted.
If you are curious I would suggest trying it at a restaurant.

Does it come with a bunch of strippers and booze other wise I don't think it is. Kc Strip is hard to beat.[:D][:D] 0 -

Trust me! Only REAL lobster comes from Maine and I will pay the price that you guys ask! I support fishermen[^][:D]0 -
I had it every day with Asahi or Nippon beer on two R&Rs to Tokyo.
It was the best.
I'd like to try it again but most of all I'd like to see little Mitsue Furuya from Kohinai Maki again.0 -
Kobe beef is beer fed calves suspended in stalls so their feet never have to support themselves by touching the ground. It is the most tender, most tasty beef on the planet. It's even more expensive in yen than in dollars. 0 -
I was in Japan in the early sixtys. I had me one of those steaks, costed me five bucks. I think what we grow here tastes better. 0 -
To me the best beef in the world comes from Iowa and is corn fed. We pride ourselves on the quality of beef and pork our state provides. 0 -

I like Kobe beef.
But...will not be having it again.

I rarely buy from them but have purchased Buffalo Steaks from Allen Brothers' website to celebrate during my R&R from Iraq. I sent my mothe a few seasoned leg of lamb roasts for her birthday from the same website. I've been tempted to try a Kobe steak just for the heck of it. I just can't part with the $$$ after eating great fresh meat in Iowa for 4 years. 0 -

I have been half way around the world and back, so believe me it's not the only beef I've ever eaten.0 -

So are you saying you have tried Kobe beef and don't think it's the best on the planet? No other beef can be substituted for Kobe beef.0 -

No, I didn't say that. But, have you tried any Iowa cornfed beef?0 -

Not quite. The cow is not locked in the stall with its feet not touching the ground. Maybe you are thinking of veal. It is allowed to run in pastures. That is one reason it is so expensive. Very little open range land in Japan. It is massaged twice a day by a trained worker. Some breeders use beer, others use champagne, others feed the mash. I do like good old Iowa beef, but NOTHING can compare to Kobe beef. It is so marbled that it doesn't even look much like beef! Sliced then and served raw with a little simmering kobe beef broth to dip your slice in to cook it is almost heaven on earth!0 -

If it's sold at Winn/Dixie, Piggly Wiggly, Wal-Mart, Safeway, or served in sitdown resturants like Logans Roadhouse, Navy or Air Force chow halls, or Friends of the NRA banquets, yes I have.0 -
Well I was in Kobe when I had my steak, I didn't think it was all that great. My bucher has his own ranch, he might kill ten to twelve One year olds a day.They'r are killed out in the pasture, one in each pasture.My butcher has around two hundred miles of land. I've seen my butcher turn down beef from his own land , and sell it to someone else.I don't see how hand rubbing a cow can make it taste better. 0 -
that Nippon beef looks a lot fatty-er than the TX/OK/KS beef I am used to. I'll stick with US beef.
BTW. I also prefer the Corsair over the Zeke and my Bonneville over one of them toy-class Honda cars [;)]0 -
I've found Kobe beef makes much better burgers than it does steaks. 0 -

you got that all screwed up{lol}
there is bob veal that is a new born calf, then there is milk,and grain fed veal, that matures to typically 4-5 months, they are no longer suspended but kept in hutch stalls on heavy straw, most veal are bulls dues to the little need other than breeding for bulls
kobe beef can be fed beer in their diet, and are free range
a kobe beef steak can run 300 bucks in a restaurant, if i pay 300 bucks for some flesh, she better be hot, and love me long time0 -
Costco has been selling Wagyu beef Jerkey recently - it is real good.
I have only had Wagyu beef from Allen Brothers, never bought real Kobe beef when I was over there. I really like the Wagyu beef, but the small step up from some Harris Ranch beef just can't justify the huge price difference for me. Kinda like having one of those FuFu drinks with the gold leaf in it - not enough return for my money.
On the many occasions that I was "over there", I was buying, er, renting another kinda meat! That was long, long ago, far away, and represents one of the many excesses of my youth.0 -
Kobe Beef. Isnt that what got Kobe bryant in trouble? 0 -
I had small portions as a part of Sashimi, which is the opening course in a formal Japanese meal. The flavor and texture of the beef was excellent but I doubt that I'd ever order a large steak ($$$) and make a meal of it. 0 -

If you lived in a meat starved country and only got to eat red meat 3 or 4 times a year it would make more sense. Here in the good old USA we can have red meat anytime so why waste the money for a greasy steak. Next time you have a good steak thank me and the rest of the beef producers for providing everyone with such a prodigious supply of food. 0 -
Won't eat kobe beef. Pate' fois-gras either. Won't support the inhumane treatment of the animals during production. After all, I won't let an animal suffer unnecessarily during a hunt...it's just not in me. So, no sale. Joe
EDIT: 1911..I read reports years ago of the method of producing the beef which was a little more detailed than what P3 said in his post on the subject (near the top). Lots of cattle die due to lung edema, etc. because they can't move. It's just not for me, that's all. Joe0 -
