KOBE BEEF vs WAGYU

What's the difference?

Wagyu simply means Japanese cow or cattle. It has no relation to quality.

Kobe beef comes only from  Tajima-gyu cattle,  that belong to the Japanese Black breed.

ONLY 3,000 HEADS OF KOBE BEEF CATTLE ARE PRODUCED PER YEAR

SO ALL JAPANESE BEEF IS WAGYU

REGARDLESS OF QUALITY

BUT ONLY  SOME VERY HIGH-QUALITY WAGYU IS KOBE

Just what is  this strict  Kobe beef  criteria?
