Default Oxymoron???

Not sure I get the "Kobe Brisket" concept...isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? Sort of like "French Intelligence"?

Isn't the idea of "low and slow" all about inexpensive & less tender meats being turned into something delicious and economical?

As someone who has lived in Japan (and knows Kobe beef) and also involved in the beef business, I think a choice ribeye at $6.00/lb from Costco will end up being both cheaper and tastier if that is what you are after.

Just sayin'...

So, if it is Akaushi then it is not Kobe, small difference I suppose, unless you are from Kumamoto or Kyushu areas. Totally different steer line.

Of course I'd go for the ribeye, but I don't think they'd let me cook a ribeye at a contest and turn it in as brisket.

Just make sure it doesn't have onions in it larger than a 1/8" dice.

In your backyard, yes definitely. In competition, no, the idea is to get the absolute best tasting and tender meat you can possibly produce off your cooker by noon on Saturday (Sunday in the Northeast).

Kobe beef, hell no. Wagyu, definitely.

Default Kobe=Wagyu but not vice-versa.

Sam's is selling "Texas Kobe", a bit misleading perhaps. Kobe is one of many prefectures in Japan (others include Akaushi, Omi, Mishima, etc) where the breed WaGyu (literally "Japanese cattle") are raised. Only beef from Kobe can truly be called "Kobe Beef". Wagyu however can originate from many countries. Australia, New Zealand and now the US have large herds, although most "American Kobe" is crossed with Angus. The American Wagyu Association requires only 25% bloodline to be sold under the Wagyu name. So even if you are buying Wagyu briskets, they may be 75% Angus

Further reading for those interested:

I want to know who buys the 6 pack of Kobe hot dogs for $38!!
