Despite its notoriety, most people don’t know the true facts about Kobe Beef. There are a number of panels that provide you with information about the roots of Black Haired Japanese cattle, and the definition and history of Kobe Beef.
Apart from that, we introduce some stories such as "there are no cattle which is born as Kobe Beef", "an Englishman was the first person who found Kobe Beef".

** UPDATED **
You can read the contents of the exhibition in five languages (Japanese, English, Korean, Chinese, French), by using "Pocket Curator", an app with the narration of commentary.
