Kobe beef refers to the Tajima strain of wagyu beef, therefore, only wagyu from Kobe, Japan can be called kobe.

Tsurugyu is known for its grade A Kobe beef. This place is amazing melt in your mouth goodness. Be ready to drool over the following epic food. 

Placing the hot, fiery coals to grill the luscious meat. 

The most delicious cow tongue, which is then dipped in lemon, salt and pepper dipping sauce.

Two cuts of rib eye steak full of natural umami. 

Close up natural beauty shot.

Melt in your mouth kalbi (short rib).

Marinated belly goodness.

Cold handmade noodle soup.

To end the meal, they provided an ume (plum) tea and matcha green tea.

Overall, this was the best meal I had in Japan.

We were lucky and got to sit at the counter and watch the chef prepare the meat. He also kept an eye on us to ensure we didn’t overcook any of the precious meat, which was fine with me since I believe the chef knows all. All of the beef was rich and melted in your mouth. Each cut of meat had a special dipping sauce, so it was swapped out with every cut of meat. All of this cost about 60 USD per person, which is cheap for kobe wagyu. A must try when in Osaka.
