Ok - I have a butcher in my town who gets the real deal from Kobe, Japan.
He buys a slab every couple of months that he cuts into 6 steaks and sells them for about $50 a steak. (Which is a pretty good size)
He showed me one of the steaks and it has SICK marbling which is shy it tastes so good.
So, I have not purchased any steaks from him yet, but I recently went to Florida and ate a Kobe steak with lump crab meat and crawfish. That steak didn't need an accompaniment - the could have just put that steak on the center of a plate and said "here".
I ate a lot of Kobe beef in Vegas back in February too. The one in FLorida was the biggest I have purchased and by favorite.
I am a fan of it and I recommend it. This steak doesn't have to be seared, and I have tried it both ways and both offer advantages.
As for price, it isn't cheap. When I order it at restaurants, my bill is always past the $100 mark when I eat with my wife.
Let me know how you like it. It is a different world.
