Iga Beef

There is a type of Wagyu so rare that it is often called 'phantom beef.' This is Iga Beef, raised in the land of Iga, Mie Prefecture. With an annual shipment of approximately 1,300 cattle, about 80% of them are sold only at local butcher shops, making it difficult to encounter elsewhere. It features a perfect balance of marbling and lean meat, with a fine texture and tenderness. Once in your mouth, a melting, mellow sweetness and a rich aroma gently spread through your palate. Its history is ancient, with its name appearing in documents as far back as 1310; fitting for the village of the Shinobi (ninja), it is also said that dried meat once served as sustenance for their physical training. Whether enjoyed in sukiyaki or as a single slice on a grill, please experience the taste that local people have quietly cherished for generations.
