Welcome to our new weekly series, dedicated to the vast variety and range of Japanese food. Each week we will be bringing a little information on some Japanese specialties, when and where they originate from, and the best and most accessible places in Japan to try them out. Today we are starting with what is considered the best beef in the world -- Kobe Beef.

Okay, let’s talk about food, and why not start with the best. Kobe Beef is widely considered to be the best beef you can eat in the world, and for the most part, you can only get it in Japan, and will pay a pretty penny for the privilege, however, we can tell you from experience, it is worth every last yen.
