Yonezawa Beef

The pinnacle of Japan's three major wagyu: melt-in-your-mouth marbling and blissful sweetness. The world-renowned "Yonezawa Beef"

Yonezawa Beef is produced through the harsh climate of the Yonezawa Basin, with its significant temperature differences, the abundant water from the Azuma Mountains, and above all, the extraordinary love and long-term care from livestock farmers.

■ The artistic marbling brings a melt-in-your-mouth texture

Its biggest feature is the beautifully fine marbling (sashi) that resembles marble.

• Surprising melting point: The melting point of high-quality fat is very low, so it melts in your mouth the moment you take a bite, spreading rich umami and elegant sweetness.
• Elegant aftertaste: The fat is not greasy, and the aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing, which is a unique charm of Yonezawa Beef raised in a harsh environment.

■ Deliciousness that becomes the star of any cooking method with its "versatile" flavor

Yonezawa City is home to many famous restaurants, offering a wide variety of ways to enjoy it.

• The classic sukiyaki: Quickly cooked in a special sauce and enjoyed with egg, sukiyaki is a blissful way to maximize the melt-in-your-mouth texture.
• Diverse styles: Whether it's steak or grilled meat to directly savor the umami, or shabu-shabu to delicately enjoy the sweetness of the meat, it shines as a star in any cooking method.
