LVA Question of the Day - 11 SEP 2012
Q: I read an article in USA Today awhile ago stating that
Kobe beef was a product that only could be raised in a
specific part of Japan and was only licensed to be sold in
two countries outside of Japan. The article stated that the
USDA has not licensed Kobe beef in the US (health
standards?) and therefore it's not available to be sold or
purchased here, hence, anything sold here as Kobe beef is
therefore an imitation. But I see it advertised and offered
here all the time and have even purchased a Kobe burger. You
mention it often in the LVA in your reviews of restaurants
(last issue on the sushi place, for example). So, what's up?
Are we being ripped off with high pieces for fake product?
