[edit] article name
Perhaps this article should be renamed "Matsusaka beef" instead of "Matsuzaka beef". While "matsuzaka" is an accepted alternate spelling of 松阪, the beef dervies it's name from the city of Matsusaka in Mie Prefecture, and this city is most definitely refered to as "Matsusaka" and not "Matsuzaka", and the beef in Matsusaka, when spoken of or written, clearly uses the name "Matsusaka". I know it seems a trivial point, but it will bring the article more in line with the city that gave it its name. Ka-ru 14:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- Surely, "Matsusaka (ushi)" is official in Japanese. (see: ja:松阪牛, History of Matsusaka ushi etc.)--Mujaki 18:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] High meat-fat ratio?
The article states that this beef has a "high meat-fat ratio." That means it's leaner than beef from other sources (more meat, less fat). Is this correct, or is it backwards? Fg2 09:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- No idea. That was part of the original article posted last December that I haven't touched. I do remember reading something about it being leaner, which surprised me, though I don't remember where or if it were a trustworthy source. Ka-ru 11:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
