Wagyu beef is one of the most expensive luxury meats in the world today referring to any cattle that originates in Japan, and is produced in Japan, the U.S., Australia or other country on the planet.
Kobe beef is a type of Wagyu beef raised to specific standards in a part of Japan. Unfortunately, these cows are raised in Japan in a way that is not conducive to their health. They are fed an unnatural diet that makes them fat, typically making the animal sick, and they are not allowed to graze naturally on the pasture.
However, when we talk about the American Wagyu beef raised by KOW Steaks, a company launched in 2016 by Jon Urbana and his cousin at the ranch of their family in southwest Iowa, we are actually talking about cows that can graze freely on acres of open land where they eat fresh grass and drink natural and clean water.
By offering fresh grass and clean water to the American Wagyu beef, there is a great opportunity to raise a cow that has healthier meat,
The meat of the American Wagyu beef is tender, flavorful rich, and has a significantly higher nutrient content and much more fatty acid ratios than grain fed beef, and this translates into a much higher vitamin content as well as ten fold better omega-3 to omega-6 balance.

American Wagyu beef doesn't have such a large amount of fat, but due to the fact that they can graze freely instead of being raised in feedlots, the flavor of their meat it is unmatched.
