First of all one must remember that 'Wagyu" literally means "Japanese cow". All these mentioned below are Wagyu. The top three internationally famous beef in Japan are:

1. Matsusaka beef 松阪牛 is black-haired Wagyu from the Matsusaka region of Japan. The cows are given special treatment by giving them body massage and serving them beer to create a healthy appetite and promote better quality meat.

2. Kobe beef 神戸牛, according to the Japanese set of rules Kobe beef can only be raised in Japan's Hyōgo prefecture and be fed a special diet of dried pasture forage and grasses but not pasture grasses.
Also take note that it is different from the American Wagyu- Kobe Style. Beef marketed as Kobe Beef outside of Japan is an issue with Kobe beef farmers in Japan.
Just remember, if it did not come from the Tajima strain of wagyu cattle raise in Japan's Hyogo prefecture and according to Japanese set of laws, then it is not Kobe Beef.

3. Omi beef or Yonezawa 米沢牛 is wagyu that originated in the Yonezawa region of Yamagata Prefecture, Japan.
