Kobe Beef Liver

[DanielBlue]

While Butchering a calv's liver today I thought about the treatment of the kobe/wagyu cows right before they are butchered. Typically the cows are fed with a mixture of sake and grains to fatten them up before slaughter. If anyone has ever tried this liver, does the beer flavor penetrate the liver of the animal and does it give a signifigant flavor change to the liver?

Thanks.

I have read many articles and stories that have all said the whole romantic notion of the cattle being combed and fed sake and grains is a load of bulls!@t...(get it). They are treated like any other free range cattle. With that said, and to answer your question...I doubt it. They are a nicely fat marbled breed, so perhaps the liver has more fat naturally. And depending on the diet, that fat can have a lot of flavor...and of course you can always add sake when cooking it.
