About American Kobe Beef Independence Grill proudly serves Wagyu Beef Burgers & Hot Dogs exclusively from Snake River Farms. We serve this quality beef not for its snob appeal but because we believe they are absolutely the best beef on the planet. That we also price them at an everyday price to compete with the chain burger joints is our commitment to "Kobe Burgers for the Common Man." Explanation of Kobe Beef & American Kobe (Wagyu) The original Kobe cows were bred as far back as the second century in Japan as work beasts and feed for Japan's warrior class. They are known for the superior marbling (the fine flecks of fat throughout the muscle) which give it a velvety and buttery taste. Just like Champagne is the term for bubbly wine from the Champagne region of France, yet many incorrectly use it as a generic term to refer to bubbly from elsewhere by the same name, Kobe can only be raised and produced from Kobe, Japan. All genetic decedents from the imported/smuggled Kobes into America are correctly called Wagyu, a
Japanese term meaning Wa- (Japanese-like) & Gyu (Cattle). Health Aspects of Kobe Higher in Omega-6 & Omega-3, Wagyu cattle produce healthier beef higher in the "good" cholesterol (HDL) and lower in "bad" cholesterol (LDL). That it tastes great is just an added bonus. More information Our Kobe Beef Supplier
