From the article:

Think you’re getting Kobe steak when you order the $350 “Kobe steak” off the menu at Old Homestead? Nope — Japan sells its rare Kobe beef to just three restaurants in the United States, and 212 Steakhouse is the only one in New York. That Kobe is probably Wagyu, a cheaper, passable cut, Olmsted says

Scarier examples are in the article, i.e. olive oil with aniline mixed in.

That Kobe is probably Wagyu
****************
This is supposed to be a revelation?? Wagyu IS Kobe ,,, Kobe is a region not a breed of cattle , it’s the same thing with Champagne ... It’s a region and they own the name but same or better sparkling wines can and are made elsewhere. The truth about “Kobe” beef is that it IS Wagyu and land is so expensive in Japan that they contract with American ranchers to grow their cattle. The Wagyu stock is flown back to Japan and is fattened up for maybe a month before it’s slaughtered and sold.
