Usually in the US if you see kobe or wagyu, chances are its not real and probably more like angus.

I went to that Nobu a number of years ago, when I was on a business trip. I convinced a non-adventurous eater to accompany us to fill a four-person table, with the promise that it is a good restaurant for star-gazing, as it was popular with the local entertainment types. In fact, I think Robert De Niro owns part of it. She was not disappointed, as Conan O'Brien was there with his entourage of pretty ladies. He really does have a giant head by the way. Kinda reminded me of a human bobblehead.Trying to be trendy is expensive:

That doesn't seem so bad for Edomae sushi. Maybe I'll try for a reservation when I'm there this summer. Recently went to Yoshizumi for about that price.
Heh I paid way less than that for sushi in Japan.
This is how you know it's real.
They track every single carcass: http://www.kobe-niku.jp/en/contents/exported/index.php
Not true,,,,,The irony is that that beef is not regulated so they can call it anything and charge anything for it.
Yeah, but tabehodai sushi in Japan is often better than most "Japanese" restaurants in the US, unless you really like the deep-fried rice soaked in mayo and unagi sauce with your onion volcano hibachi steak.High end sushi in Japan is also really expensive.

American restaurants and markets sometimes refer to "American-Style Kobe" or "American Kobe" or "100% Kobe" - these terms refer to beef produced in America from crossbred cattle, usually Wagyu x Angus.
Nah it's really not - $185-200 seemed to be the high end of the range so $150 for a guy with his pedigree...
Your link proves they are not regulated???You link to an association, not the FDA. Wagyu is not regulated in the US.
For ex...

I just returned from NYC last night.. Nakazawa was amazing. I don't know how this place doesn't have a star yet. Both my wife and I thought it was much much better than Yoshizumi. We both opted for the drink pairings and a few additional pieces bringing up the bill, but it was so worth it.
