Delicious work of art KOBE BEEF

TAJIMA BEEF originated in the Tajima region of Hyogo prefecture. It is considered to be the pinnacle of Japanese black beef, and is used as a breeding cow for improving WAGYU(Japanese beef) breeds all over the country .

With the love and efforts of designated producers in Hyogo prefecture, full-blooded TAJIMA BEEF calves are carefully bred and fattened.
The number of calves that can be fattened annually is limited.

Slowly raised TAJIMA BEEF is shipped to a meat center in Hyogo prefecture, and after going through all BSE inspections, it is evaluated under strict quality standards.

Only selected beef can get the title of KOBE BEEF. They get checked and rated according to the following:
●Yield grade which indicates the ratio of edible portion from one cow : A to C,
