Kobe Beef

[Phrafarang]

I was wondering if anyone knew a restaurant in CM that served Kobe beef?

 

Not Wagu which is just a breed but genuine certified Kobe imported from Kobe, Japan/

 

i managed to find  Tajimaya restaurant in  Inthavaroros Road, Old City, but I just drove to look and it appears to have gone

Legitimate Kobe beef is priced around $200 per portion for a steak, and $50 for a burger. If you see something on a menu referred to as Kobe priced less than that, it is most likely domestic or imported Wagyu.

All Kobe is Wagyu, but not all Wagyu is Kobe

Under Japanese law, Kobe beef can only came from Hyōgo prefecture (of which Kobe is the capital city) of Japan.

Kobe cows are fed a special diet of dried pasture forage and grasses such as rice straw with nutrition-rich feed supplements made by blending soybean, corn, barley, wheat bran, and various other ingredients. They are not fed pasture grass.

 

So me think you're not going to find any "real" Kobe beef in CM,  good luck.

Le Crystal has it on their menu. http://www.lecrystalrestaurant.com/en/info-4/ 

I've had it there before and it was delicious. I'm not an expert so I can't tell if it was "real" Kobe beef but it was much better than your average steak.

Thank you for your reply.

 

I sort of answered my own question and found Bistro Kura on Nimman Soi 9.

 

They serve Kobe beef and are registered on the Hyogo Prefecture, Kobe, Japan site as importers.

 

Its a little expensive but as I am probably only going to do it once.................

 

Kobe Beef A4........100g for 5,500 baht
