To achieve exceptional quality and unparalleled flavor, the largest Japanese cattle breed known as Japanese Black is recorded, documented and tracked. These careful records are kept by the Japanese government to track their lineage, age, farm and lifeline with nose print certificates to ensure the best quality of A5 Miyazaki Wagyu beef.
Five-star restaurants, world-class steakhouses and international foodies seek out Wagyu from Kuroge Washu cows. This cattle breed is known all over the world for its exquisite capacity to produce finely grained intramuscular marbling inside the meat itself.
In fact, the fat speckles became such a hot commodity that in 1997 the Japanese government permanently shut down the exporting of Kuroge Washu and other Wagyu DNA and live specimens.
Around 80 percent of Japanese cattle are Kuroge Washu. Ranchers only raise an average of four cattle at a time to ensure unparalleled individual focus. Each head is raised on a wholesome diet of corn, wheat and barley for more than 900 days to give them rich nutrients to produce high-quality meat the world demands.

Health Benefits of A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Beef
Not all fat is bad fat. It brings flavor and texture to a multitude of foods. Wagyu has the same amount of fat found in lean poultry and a fresh Atlantic salmon fillet. This is because the omega-3 and omega-6 monounsaturated fatty acids found in its marbling are better for your heart than specialized lean diets. Wagyu can reduce cholesterol levels with its intense buttery flavor and tenderness to protect against heart disease, arthritis, depression, Alzheimer’s, and high blood pressure, more so than any other beef.
