4/ Kobe beef did not precede the "rise of wagyu" in either a historical or a logical sense. That's like saying that golden retrievers preceded the rise of dogs. It fundamentally misunderstands the sets under discussion and their relative relationships with each other.

5/ You really wanted to get into it with me on matters of definition and pedanticism? Well, you've certainly confirmed that Marines do not shy away from even the most hopeless and doomed battles!

Your link does not support your assertion that "it has been over 20 years since a fullblood has been born in the US." It is simply silent as to any births occurring after 1997. You're getting quite a workout carrying those goalposts around.

And in any event, I'm correct (& you're wrong) that: * Wagyu is a breed of cattle * Kobe beef is a special subset of certain Wagyu cattle from Kobe prefecture, not something that preceded the rise of Wagyu Whether American Wagyu cattle are "fullblood" Wagyu is beside the point.

The point about Wagyu being a breed (and yes, it is 4 breeds), is that Kobe is a subset of (one of those) breeds, not a superset or something unrelated. The prefecture of Kobe did in fact "precede" "the wagyu CRAZE". But that's moving the goalposts.

So your excuse for imprecise marketing terminology that doesn't correspond to reality is that other people do it? The phrase "Kobe beef" as used in all but 8 or so US restaurants is a goddamned lie, like California Champagne.

"Yet, when I say *Kobe beef* everyone knows what I speak of " Actually, I've never been sure WTF non-Japanese people mean when they say Kobe beef. If it's $200 steak, yeah, maybe. If it's a $15 burger...I have ZERO idea what they're selling.
