OITA WAGYU / All-Oita

Oita Wagyu is a brand name that refers to a type of Japanese black cattle that has a meat quality of grade 4 or higher. Raised in Oita Prefecture, they are fed on a special feed mix of rice and brewer’s spent grain that enhances the meat’s flavour. The brand was created in 2018 to mark the 100th anniversary of Bungo beef history, which has been awarded Japan’s top cattle prize on numerous occasions.

Blessed with a mild climate and rich water resources, Oita has long been a region where livestock farming has flourished. Oita Wagyu is raised in a wonderfully natural environment and is characterised by its well–balanced meat quality that combines a marbled texture and lean meat. The fat is light and not overwhelming, so can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, such as grilled, in sukiyaki (hot pot), and as steak.
