The word "WAGYU" consists of two characters, "WA" meaning Japan and "GYU" meaning beef or cattle. In Japan, "WAGYU" must be pure bred or cross bred among 4 kinds, born, and raised in Japan. Furthermore, all "WAGYU" is traceable up to 3 generations.
Wagyu epitomizes the pinnacle of beef quality, originating from Japan and renowned for its unmatched taste and excellence. It symbolizes a culinary tradition deeply ingrained in precise breeding and feeding methods, yielding a culinary experience unparalleled by any other. At the heart of Wagyu's distinction is its captivating marbling, where fine veins of fat intricately weave through the muscle, resulting in a tender, buttery texture. The meat's luxurious tenderness underscores the meticulous care invested in every stage of its cultivation.
