About Wagyu
Wagyu, meaning 'Japanese cattle,' refers to several breeds developed in Japan that are famous for producing the most intensely marbled beef in the world. The intramuscular fat creates the buttery texture and rich flavor that commands premium prices globally. American Wagyu programs, often crossing Wagyu with Angus, have grown substantially as consumer demand for premium beef increases.
