Kobe Beef is extremely rare with under 1,000 head of cattle a year exported for the entire globe. Literally the cream of the crop, Kobe Beef is limited to only the top cattle of the Hyogo Prefecture.
Named after the city of Kobe in Hyogo Prefecture, this remote regions isolated genetics allowed for the development of what is known today as the Tajima line, a very pure genetic breed of cattle whose DNA has been sought after and spread to other cattle throughout Japan but which remains unadulterated in the Kobe region. Its purity is jealously guarded by the small farmers that comprise the Kobe association.

Hand-Cut For You
Our steaks are hand-cut by skilled butchers. Because each cut is individually prepared and naturally unique, slight variations in weight, shape, and thickness are normal.
Upon Arrival
Your order is shipped frozen and carefully packed to maintain a safe temperature in transit. Place your meat in the refrigerator or freezer promptly upon arrival.
It is normal for products to arrive partially thawed or with some surface softness. If the meat is still cold to the touch, it can be safely refrigerated for use or returned to the freezer.
Thawing
For the best texture and flavor, thaw meat slowly in the refrigerator while it remains sealed in its original packaging. Most steaks will thaw within approximately 24 hours; larger cuts may require additional time.
For faster thawing, keep the product sealed and submerge in cold water. changing the water periodically. Do not thaw meat at room temperature and never place in warm or hot water.
Before Cooking
Remove the steak from its packaging and pat dry before cooking - very important for a nice crust! For the best sear, make sure the surface of the steak is dry before it hits the pan or grill.
