Only 8 restaurants in the US serve real Kobe beef - here's where you can order it

Kobe beef is one of the trendiest meats in the restaurant industry - and the vast majority of America has never had a bite. 

While restaurants across the US offer menu items like the Cheesecake Factory's "Kobe burgers" and pricey "Kobe steaks," almost all of these claims are false. Only eight restaurants in the entire US serve real Kobe beef, according to an investigation by Inside Edition. 

Many restaurants have started using the term "Kobe" to mean any pricey beef. However, it is in fact a highly-acclaimed type of Wagyu beef raised in a specific region of Japan. 

Here are the eight places in the US that you can actually get Kobe beef - not a knock-off.
