"Don't they age Wagyu?!"
Wagyu is the breed of cattle, Kobe is the name of the product, named after the place of its origination.
Much of the so-called Kobe beef eaten outside of Japan is not Kobe beef at all but beef from a specialist ranch in California who have been licensed by the Kobe Beef people of Japan to raise the meat. Anyway, the meat is not normally aged which is why to western palates it seems so much more tender.
