What I learned is Kobe Japan just doesn't have the grazing land so they
hire American farmers to graze their beef according to their requirements,
BUT it all goes back to Kobe, Japan.

What's sold here is called "Kobe-style beef." A big world away from Japan's
grade.

Where you hear or read American Kobe, substitute American-Style Kobe.

I could be wrong. I saw it on TV.
