What is Matsusaka beef?

Matsusaka beef is pronounced ``Matsusakaushi'' or ``Matsusakagyu.'' Also, Matsusaka beef is incorrect; the correct name is "Matsusaka beef."

In order to be recognized as Matsusaka Beef, the cow must be a heifer of the Japanese Black breed, meet strict conditions regarding the fattening period and movement in the Matsusaka Beef production area, and be registered in the Matsusaka Beef Individual Identification Management System. It is a condition.

The precious Matsusaka beef that has passed strict conditions has an individual identification number assigned to each cow, and by looking up the number you can see the history of the cow's upbringing, so you can eat it with confidence. .

 

What are the characteristics of the taste of Matsusaka beef?

Matsusaka beef is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), which are said to be good for beauty and health, and its fat melting point (the temperature at which fat melts) is lower than that of regular beef fat, so it melts when you put it in your mouth. This creates a delicious texture.

In addition, when Matsusaka beef is heated, it emits a unique sweet and fragrant aroma called ``wagyu incense'', and this elegant aroma is a characteristic of Matsusaka beef. It has an indescribable scent that whets the appetite!
