How to recognize real original Kobe meat

Kobe beef is one of the world’s most prized meats, known for its tenderness, intense flavor and unique marbling. It is produced from Wagyu cattle, rigorously raised in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.

How to recognize real original Kobe meat

To ensure the authenticity of Kobe meat, the Japanese government has established a register of certified sellers. To be eligible for inclusion in the register, sellers must meet certain requirements, including:

• Purchase meat only from certified Kobe farmers.
• Subject the meat to rigorous inspection by a government agency.
• Comply with certain standards of processing and storage.

Real Kobe meat is certified by an official seal, which is applied only to meat that meets all quality requirements. The seal consists of a daisy with the logo of Hyōgo Prefecture.

In addition, real Kobe meat must have a marbling degree of at least 6 on a scale of 1 to 12. Marbling is the presence of intramuscular fat, which gives the meat its intense flavor and tender texture.
