Japanese Kobe Beef

Japanese Kobe beef has long been hailed as the most exquisitely tender, flavorful and rich beef in the world. Allen Brothers, a leading purveyor of superior beef for over 100 years, carries a wide selection of Kobe-style Wagyu beef from American cattle that have been raised according to strict Kobe traditions. This beef is hands-down the best beef you'll ever try--Allen Brothers won't sell Wagyu cuts unless they are nothing short of perfect.

Wagyu beef is more expensive than even USDA Prime beef; however, it is well worth the cost if it is prepared correctly. Special attention should be paid to the cooking method--Kobe-style beef is best when seared quickly over high heat or grilled briefly. A Kobe carpaccio, where the meat is sliced very thinly and then served with a ponzu or other Asian dipping sauce, is one of the best ways to experience the wonderful flavor of this unique beef.

For several years, food critics and gourmands have praised this luxurious treat and have lined up at the country's best restaurants to sample it. Now, with Allen Brothers' carefully hand-selected cuts of Kobe-style Wagyu beef, you can enjoy this luscious indulgence at home with friends and family, or share it with clients. If you love foie gras, you'll be amazed by the rich, buttery taste of properly cooked Kobe-style beef.

What makes beef from Wagyu cattle so flavorful and tender? Kobe-style beef has more marbling than any other cut of beef. The lean meat is naturally swirled with densely-packed flecks of fat, from which comes the distinctive and highly sought-after Kobe flavor. For true beef connoisseurs, there's simply nothing to compare with Japanese Kobe beef.
