Introduction.
What do you think of when you hear the word “Wagyu”?
You don’t think of the Japanese comedian “Wagyu,” do you?
This time, we would like to introduce you to “Wagyu,” one of the most highly regarded foods in Japan’s food culture.
Wagyu beef is loved all over the world for its superior quality and taste.
Especially famous are Kobe Beef, Matsuzaka Beef, and Omi Beef, which are called “Japan’s Three Great Beef.
We will introduce the characteristics and attractions of each Wagyu beef.
Kobe beef
The first is Kobe beef.
Kobe Beef refers to Japanese black beef raised in the Kobe City area of Hyogo Prefecture.
It is characterized by its rich marbling and refined fat, which melts in the mouth when eaten.
Kobe Beef’s meat is extremely tender and its sweet fat fills your mouth.
Unexpectedly,
This is a characteristic that comes from the fact that Kobe Beef is raised with great care, and special diet and management methods are used.
When you eat it, you should properly feel the diligence.
If you feel it, call the livestock farmers and tell them thank you.
Matsuzaka beef
Next, we will introduce Matsuzaka beef.
Matsuzaka beef is a Japanese black breed of beef raised in Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture.
Its characteristic feature is the finely textured fibers of the meat, which make it outstandingly smooth to the palate.
Matsuzaka beef is rich in fine fat and its beautiful marbling is eye-catching.
It is also known for its unique sweet and savory taste.
Matsuzaka beef is known as a rare and valuable Japanese beef because it is strictly controlled over a long period of time and especially selected cattle are recognized as Matsuzaka beef.
When eating it, livestock farmers are saddened if they do not use all five senses of the body.
Omi beef
Finally, let us introduce Omi beef.
Omi beef is a Japanese black breed of beef raised in Shiga Prefecture. It may not be as well known as Kobe beef or Matsuzaka beef, but its flavor is unbeatable.
Omi beef is tender and has an elegant sweetness of fat.
It is characterized by its refreshing taste and flavor, and is used in a variety of dishes such as yakiniku, shabu-shabu, and sukiyaki.
Let us express our gratitude not only to the livestock farmers, but also to the cows three times: before, during, and after eating.
