Hi everyone!

Today I will tell you about how Chiba, a prefecture in Japan got its name.

From the kanji (chinese character) itself, Chiba is written as 千葉(ちば) which is comprised of:

千（one thousand)
葉（leaves）

thus making it "a thousand leaves". What a beautiful meaning, right?

Do you guys know any origin of other place name? Like "Johor Bahru", I just know that it is written as "新山" in chinese. Anyone knows why?

Hmmm....thinking of to go for wagyu beef or Kobe beef to try on my Tokyo trip next year.

Don't know which one is better.

i thought wagyu is a generic name..the different type of wagyu ie. kobe, matsusaka, omi refers to the breeding region

Anybody with JPY to sell? Cod today, KL.

Wagyu is a breed of cattle.

Kobe beef means cattle that are raised in Kobe that get a speicalized treatment, that's why the meat is so perfectly marbles and just melts in your mouth.

Kobe isn't the only type of special beef in Japan - there are other finishing treatments that produce even more marbled and tasty beef. Some of the other well known types (in Japan) are Mishima, Matsuzaka, and Omi. All use Wagyu cattle, but with different feeds an finishing techniques, all produce different results.


So what Terry meant is, should she particularly eat Kobe beef or other breed of cattles

well, that is what i said

Ohhhh!! Paiseh paiseh my bad.

Yes that's what I mean

Hi all,

Yeah what michlove said is true. Actually the Wagyu itself means Japanese beef:

Wagyu/和牛
和: wa, japanese
牛: gyu, com/beef

and wagyu consists of several breeds. The most popular ones are Kobe beef, Matsusaka beef, and Mishima beef, which their names come from the region they are bred.

What important is.. THEY ARE DAMN TASTY!

Hi Limchee, welcome to Japan!
I have been living in Japan for 6 years, will try to share my experience for travelers!

Will you follow a full-guided tour or just bus hop-in hop-out? If just transport, when you arrive at Takayama, I recommend you to choose one of this tour:

The guide english-speaking japanese, and it is actually CHEAPER than if you buy another bus for yourself!
Last year I went there, taking half-day tour.

Side-note: If you are visiting in winter, beware... wear multiple layers of clother with good ventilation.

Cheers!
