Yonezawa Beef

Yonezawa Beef

Area: Yamagata Prefecture, Yonezawa City

Recommended season: Year-round

The pinnacle of Japan's three major wagyu: melt-in-your-mouth marbling and blissful sweetness. Proudly representing the world, 'Yonezawa Beef'

Yonezawa Beef is a representative brand of Japan, created by the harsh climate of the Yonezawa Basin with its significant temperature differences, the abundant water from the Azuma Mountains, and above all, the unwavering love and long-term care from livestock farmers.

■ The artistic 'sashi' brings a melt-in-your-mouth texture

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

  • Amazing melting point: The melting point of high-quality fat is very low, so it melts gently at body temperature the moment it enters your mouth, spreading rich umami and elegant sweetness.
  • Refined aftertaste: The fat is not greasy, and the surprisingly refreshing aftertaste is a charm unique to Yonezawa Beef, raised in a harsh environment.

■ 'Transformative' deliciousness that shines in any cooking method

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

  • The classic sukiyaki: Quickly cooked in a special sauce and mixed with eggs, 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 main dish in any cooking method.
