التاريخ

تم جلب الماشية الى اليابان من الصين في نفس الوقت مثل زراعة الأرز في حوالي القرن الثاني، فترة يايوي. حتى حول وقت استعادة ميجي في عام 1868، كانت تستخدم فقط كما حيوانات الجر في الزراعة، الغابات، التعدين والنقل، وكما مصدر الأسمدة. كان استهلاك الحليب غير معروف، و- لأسباب ثقافية ودينية - لم تؤكل اللحوم.

تم عزل اليابان على نحوفعال عن بقية العالم من 1635 حتى 1854. لم يكن هناك إمكانية ولوج جينات خارجية لبتران الماشية خلال هذا الوقت. بين عام 1868، وهوعام استعادة ميجي، و1887، تم استيراد بعض 2600 ماشية الخارجية، بما في ذلك Braunvieh، Shorthorn وديڤون. بين حوالي 1900 و1910 كان هناك نطاق واسع عبر تربية هذه مع الأسهم الأصلية. من عام 1919، مختلف متجانسة السكان في المنطقة التي نتجت عن هذه الفترة القصيرة من تم تسجيلهم عبر تربية و مختارة كما "ماشية اليابانية تحسين". وتميزت أربع سلالات منفصلة، تقوم أساسا على أي نوع من الماشية الأجنبية وأكثر ما أثر الهجين، وتم الاعتراف بها السلالات في عام 1944. وكانت هذه أربعة واگيوسلالة، والأسود الياباني، والبني الياباني، والمدقوق الياباني وقصير القرن الياباني. وتاجيما هي سلالة من الأسود الياباني، ومعظم سلالة من حيث عدد السكان (حوالي 90٪ من السلالات الأربع).

Beef consumption remained low until after World War II. Kobe beef grew in popularity and extended its global reach in the 1980s and 1990s.

In 1983, the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association was formed to define and promote the Kobe trademark. It sets standards for animals to be labeled as Kobe beef.

In 2009, the USDA placed a ban on the import of all Japanese beef to prevent the Japan foot-and-mouth outbreak from reaching US shores. The ban was relaxed in August 2012. Shortly thereafter, Kobe beef was imported into the US for the first time.

Industry

Kobe beef in Japan is a registered trademark of the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association (神戸肉流通推進協議会, Kōbeniku Ryūtsū Suishin Kyōgikai). It must fulfill all the following conditions:

Tajima cattle born in Hyōgo Prefecture
Farm feeding in Hyōgo Prefecture
Bullock (steer or castrated bull)
Processed at slaughterhouses in Kobe, Nishinomiya, Sanda, Kakogawa, or Himeji in Hyōgo Prefecture
Marbling ratio, called BMS, of levelستة and above
Meat quality score of أربعة or 5
Gross weight of beef from one animal is 470 kg or less.

The cattle are fed on grain fodder and brushed sometimes for setting fur. The melting point of fat of Kobe beef (Tajima cattle) is lower than common beef fat.

Kobe beef is expensive, as only about 3,000 head of cattle may qualify as Kobe. As of March 2018, imported Kobe beef on sale in Harrods cost £625 per kilo. In Japan, all cattle, not just those that end up as Kobe beef, can be tracked via a 10-digit number through every step of its entire life cycle.

Kobe beef in other countries

Prior to 2012, Kobe beef was not exported. The first exports, in January 2012, were to Macau, then to Hong Kong in July 2012. Since then, exports have also been made to the United States, Singapore, Thailand, the United Kingdom and one chef in Canada.

"Kobe-style" beef

The increase in popularity of Japanese beef in the United States has led to the creation of "Kobe-style" beef, taken from domestically raised Wagyu crossbred with Angus cattle, to meet the demand. Farms in the United States and Britain have attempted to replicate the Kobe traditions. From the first Wagyu cattle imported in the 1970s, 150 US ranches now raise "tens of thousands of Wagyu cattle".

The meat produced by these cross-breeds is different from the "authentic" Kobe beef, though this is "often by design", due to the perception that American palates do not actually want the richness of Japanese beef and would prefer a more familiar flavor profile. Some US meat producers claim any differences between their less expensive "Kobe-style" beef and true Kobe beef are largely cosmetic. Cuts of US "Kobe-style" beef tend to have darker meat and a bolder flavor.

In Europe, UK grocery retailer Asda, owned by Walmart, introduced Wagyu beef at the end of 2011 under its Butcher’s Selection line using meat from a herd in Yorkshire, "bred from Holstein dairy cows impregnated with Wagyu semen". This not only made the beef more affordable, but it also resulted in less marbled meat more familiar to UK consumers. In June 2014, the German discounter Aldi announced that it was going to introduce Wagyu beef steaks, "with every store receiving a limited number of 50 steaks, priced at a very competitive £6.99 for an 8-oz (225-g) sirloin and rib eye". However, Aldi’s Wagyu beef was sourced from New Zealand, where the exclusively grass-fed cattle are allowed to roam, more in keeping with changing standards of animal welfare (in Japan cattle are "confined in small pens and given much more energy-dense feed").

Mislabelling

Hyōgo prefecture, where authentic Kobe beef is produced

The proliferation of beef outside Japan marketed as Kobe beef is an issue for Kobe beef farmers. Due to a lack of legal recognition of the Kobe beef trademark in the United States, it is possible to sell meat that is incorrectly labeled as Kobe beef. The Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association planned to publish pamphlets about Kobe beef in foreign languages.

Japan has a Wagyu Beef Export Promotion Committee.
