Superb Wagyu Japanese beef comes from the special technique and the attentive care given by the producers. The term “Wagyu beef cattle” refers to distinctive Japanese breeds, of which this herd of Hida Wagyu are farmed in the Gifu Prefecture.
Wagyu beef cattle are raised to be healthy animals in well-ventilated barns spread with sawdust. They are fed with a mixture of hay and highly nutritious, safe compound feeds. Farmers who breed Wagyu cattle raise them with careful attention to detail as if they were their own children, keeping a close eye on everything, including their physical condition.
A feature of wagyu beef is a melt-in-the-mouth texture and a rich, luxurious taste derived from an abundance of fat. The beautiful pattern of fat through red flesh like the chuck, rib and sirloin is termed shimofuri, or marbling. Its flavour will delight you when used in various types of cuisine. Wagyu beef is sold after inspection and grading for attributes such as meat colour, texture and marbling. The “Wagyu mark” is attached exclusively to authentic domestic Japanese beef to distinguish such wagyu beef quality. This mark acts as a guide when selecting delicious, high-quality, authentic wagyu beef.
This prized breed of cattle is known for its fantastic aroma, flavour and texture. A key contributor to all this is the fine disbursement of intramuscular fat throughout the muscle tissue. The more “marbling” the meat has, the higher the grade and the price.
All genuine Japanese Wagyu are given a 10-digit traceability number. Because it is expensive, you can check the authenticity of your cuts by using the traceability link that any Certified Distributor can provide.
In Japan, there are a number of popular ways to enjoy Wagyu Beef. This includes traditional dishes like Sukiyaki, Shabu Shabu and Tataki. More recently more “trendy” and modern recipes include Wagyu Katsu Sando and even Wagyu Ramen.
