THE KOBE BLOOD LINE

From a historical perspective, it all began when the port of Kobe was opened to foreign trade in 1868. Kobe soon became a cosmopolitan town with many foreigners arriving from abroad and settling there. It's said that Tajima cattle were first eaten in Kobe by an Englishman who persuaded some farmers to give him a cow that had been used for various agricultural tasks. He must have felt it was a gift from heaven! From then on, foreign ships entering the port of Kobe started to ask for deliveries of cattle and beef, which rapidly became known as“Kobe Beef”. Even today, there are countless American politicians, Hollywood stars, international "royals", and other celebrities who insist on Kobe beef whenever they visit Japan.
