johnfarrar_ Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 feel very proud to be serving such an extravagance in my restaurant john farrar head chef at 23 Seared Fillet of Kobe Beef Oriental fusion, beef shin dim sum and spiced beef tea £38.00 As part or our aim to source the freshest and best possible ingredients at 23, we now include on our menu what is considered to be some of the best beef in the world. Kobe beef is a special grade of beef from (Wagyu) cattle raised in Kobe, Japan. These cattle are massaged with sake and are fed a daily diet that includes large amounts of beer. This produces meat that is extraordinarily tender, finely marbled, and full-flavoured. It is also extremely per pound. Today they are raised on only 262 small farms, most of which pasture fewer than five cows, and the largest of which run only 10 to 15 animals.

Bago Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I came across another thread which you briefly mentioned about Kobe beef. Well done for introducing Kobe beef into Sheffield ! I think you're making history here. Though, I am curious to one thing. Is it sourced from Japan, or the US ? "Seared Fillet of Kobe Beef Oriental fusion, beef shin dim sum and spiced beef tea £38.00" It sounds like heavy spices are used, which would be a great shame, if that is the case. I almost fell of my chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirklaub Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 what is kobe beef? i love beef. Kobe beef ( pronounced Kow-bay ) is beef taken from the Wagyu cattle, farmed originally in and around Kobe, Japan. The cattle are treated in a highly secretive and also highly speculated way throughout their lives, leading up to slaughter. They are pretty inactive couch potatoes, who have regular massages using sake and while listening to classical musical. They are also fed, amongst other things, japanese beer. They are a pretty happy, sedentary group of cattle producing an extremely tender well marbled meat - a delicacy and VERY expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
