Where Our Meat Comes From: Starring American Kobe (Wagyu) Beef

Boy do people love talking about our meat…fortunately, what they love even more is eating it! We want you to know where we get our premium ribeye from because what we make for you and where it comes from matters to us. So please allow us to introduce to you Snake River Farms, our provider of the exquisitely delicious and unique American Kobe (Wagyu) Beef.



Kobe Beef Center-Stage

When people hear the words Kobe Beef together they either get very excited and hungry or they get worked-up about it and whether or not it’s the real thing (we’re sure they still get hungry too). That’s understandable since the Kobe cut of beef is characterized by delicious, fine marbling that is hard to come by and specific only to its Japanese heritage standards. Yet there’s more, which explains why people get worked-up about it… Until 2012, Japan did not export Kobe Beef. Many restaurants in other countries, sadly enough, lied about serving true Kobe Beef so they could charge more to the customer – definitely not our style! So what’s the big deal about Kobe Beef anyways? It has the most deliciously amazing taste that comes from extraordinarily high standards and a distinct breed of cattle that are born and raised superbly in Japan.

Enters American Kobe (Wagyu) Beef

Certified Gold Label!

Imagine the excitement among foodies and chefs, when years ago Kobe Beef was allowed to be exported to our country? We bet it was similar to when Prohibition got repealed! Okay…maybe not that big…Point being that it was a great thing for those of us who love high-quality meat but want to be able to afford it. So today we have what is officially (and yes, legally and legitimately) called American Kobe (Wagyu) Beef. Snake River Farms is one of the largest, most prestigious ranches in our country and worldwide for providing this meat. They’re recognized by celebrated chefs and beef connoisseurs, as well as provide their American Kobe (Wagyu) Beef to several Michelin Star restaurants anNew Paragraph

The Grand Finale

The process that Snake River Farms puts into creating American Kobe (Wagyu) Beef is truly a journey, and a meticulous one at that. It all starts at the very beginning, with the breeding and raising of the cattle. Using the direct lineage of the Japanese Wagyu Cattle, they cross-breed with premium Angus cattle. The way the cattle are raised is carefully managed, from start to finish, ensuring a happy animal and complete with animal welfare procedures and humane processing. In their words: “Snake River Farms Wagyu/Angus cross cattle are raised along the high plain of the Snake River in Eastern Idaho. Our proprietary herd is one of the most highly regarded groups of American Wagyu cattle in the world. We have adopted many aspects of the heritage-steeped Japanese feeding method which takes up to four times longer than traditional U.S. cattle production methods”. All this is what brings home to you American Kobe (Wagyu) Beef at Kobe An Shabu Shabu.

It’s that time of year again for Colorado – The Denver Restaurant Week. What’s a unique way to enjoy it this year? We’re the only restaurant in town that serves Shabu Shabu, so we’re also the only place you can get it, even for Denver Restaurant Week. Since we just opened last summer (2014), it is our first time to participate and your chance to indulge in a full-on Shabu Shabu or Sukiyaki 3-course meal for only $30/person during this 10-day event. The countdown has started to its kick-off on February 20th…better hurry to enjoy and learn more! We remember back in the day when Denver Restaurant Week was born. It started as 5280 Restaurant Week by the much-loved magazine, 5280 . Remember that? It focused more on getting a full 3-course meal at some pretty nice restaurants for the great price of $52.80 for a couple. Great theme they had going since that also ties in with Denver ‘s elevation of 5,280ft. above sea-level. Of course they also made it possible for individual enjoyment at half the couple’s price. Now in its 11th year, it’s evolved and grown, continuing to give everyone an affordable and discounted way to try out Denver’s top restaurants. Now it’s called Denver Restaurant Week and the price is only $30 per person / $60 per couple. Not only does it take place annually (this year from February 20th – March 1st), but for the past few years it also takes place for two weeks around the end of summer/beginning of fall. Check out below our amazing menu for Denver Restaurant Week (please note that the current menu on the DRW page is not correct and the one below is the correct one). You’ll see what an amazing opportunity it is to enjoy not just our Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki, but our small plates and desserts as well. We’re also making sure to give you an upgrade option if you want to savor our American Kobe (Wagyu) Beef by Snake River Farms . Make reservations soon, because we’re already filling up! We can’t wait to have you dine with us soon.

Who ever thought that being late could be a good thing? Well now we do, thanks to our bar manager Mark Mangold . We know how it goes when you’re searching for that relaxing, chill bar to unwind in after the long week of work or just to get past hump-day. Times like those are when you want a custom drink good enough that you forget you already sat down. With that first jolting sip, it’s like a pair of hands giving you a good friendly shake of the shoulders. Then you lusciously melt into a euphoria you don’t come out of without being delayed to wherever it was you thought you needed to be next. In other words…you stay for another…  Allow Mark’s twist on a Manhattan to remind you to slow down and be delayed. Just in a much tastier way and even in the comforts of your own home if you like. That’s why we’re letting you in on our newly created concoction. Just remember, the euphoria’s even better when you let us make it for you instead. At least that’s our take 🙂
