Does anyone know (as in KNOW) where I can actually get a couple really nice Kobe steaks in San Diego? Not cooked, raw meat to grill at home. Tia!

Try Iowa Meat Farms on Mission Gorge. Near I-8 and Fairmont.

I don't know for sure, but that's the most legit butcher shop I know of. Otherwise just buy the 4 pack of Filet Mignon from Costco

Something about how they massage them giving them fresh water sometimes whine and playing classical music while standing in a box there whole life's not allowing to move at all. makes it illegal in the US i guess

You can always order Wagyu online too.

I didn't know about it being illegal to import Japanese Kobe beef, but I did know that most of the "Kobe beef" in this country is "Kobe style beef" or w/e -- from the same kind of cow, but produced here.

Thanks for the lead on the Iowa Meat Farm place. In general I would have no problem doing the online thing but in this case I would like to see the meat irl first. I want to see the grain/marbling etc.

Vielen dank.

Oh and btw, I have noticed that the tenderloin from Costco is actually less tasty than the stuff at Von's etc. I have no clue why that would be, but I've found it to be true time and time again.

If you are going to grill Kobe beef you are retarded.
