What is Wagyu beef

Wagyu is the cattle breed which is genetically inclined to contain extreme marbling in its meat. Wagyu has its origin in Japan where cattle stock is generally low.


It is popular for its marbling factor and it is exported all over the globe.  Its marbling’s coupled with shortage for world demands enhance the meat’s market value.  Japan still has a monopoly even though America and Australia rear breeds of Wagyu. It is shipped all over Japan by area names namely Kobe, Mishima and Omibeef. In all of its beef categories Kobe (Kobe niku in Japanese) is predominant. It is characterized by it flavour, softness and marbled texture of the meat. It breeds well even in restricted farms of Japan where muscular activity of cattle tend to decline in humid seasons.
