FILETTO DI WAGYU KAGOSHIMA A4 - GIAPPONE (100g)

LET'S START BY DEFINING THE WAGYU. WAGYU IS A COMPOUND WORD MADE UP OF TWO JAPANESE IDEOGRAMS: “WA” (和), WHICH MEANS JAPAN, AND “GYU” (牛), WHICH MEANS BEEF. ITS MEANING IS THEREFORE “JAPANESE BEEF``. THE ARGUMENT THAT OFTEN COMES UP FIRST WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WAGYU AND ITS IMPORT IS: ``SO YOU IMPORT KOBE BEEF``. THAT'S NOT QUITE THE CASE: KOBE BEEF DOESN'T REPRESENT ALL WAGYU BEEF, BUT IT IS A SUB-CATEGORY, SPECIFICALLY BEING JAPANESE WAGYU RAISED IN KOBE. IN OTHER WORDS, AS IS OFTEN SAID: ALL KOBE IS WAGYU BUT NOT ALL WAGYU IS KOBE
