Noto Beef
The moment it touches your mouth, the fat melts away, yet leaves a refreshing lightness that doesn't linger heavily. This is Noto Beef, known as the 'phantom brand beef'. Out of all the Japanese Black Wagyu born and raised in Ishikawa Prefecture, only those that meet strict meat quality standards can bear this name, making it a rare existence with an annual production of only about 700 cattle. Its true characteristic lies not in competing blindly for excessive marbling, but in the coexistence of moderate marbling and the rich umami of the lean meat. It features a high content of oleic acid, which influences flavor, and has even won awards evaluating fat quality. When grilled, the sweet fat gently rises; when prepared as sukiyaki, the meat's umami dissolves into the sauce. Because numbers are limited, you are lucky if you encounter it. That single dish is the very essence of luxury nurtured by the nature of Noto.
