What makes Japan's top wagyu beef brands so popular?
Kobe Beef. Matsuzaka Beef. Omi Beef. These are the top three wagyu brands in Japan historically but in the last 20-30 years Japanese Wagyu brands have really increased. This episode starts the Omi Beef, a Kuroge Wagyu Story. We track the beef back to the ranch in the Omihachiman area near Lake Biwa.
Japanese Wagyu Beef has a long history dating back to the Sengaku Period when European missionaries brought their beef eating culture to Japan. During the Tokugawa Shogunate or Edo period, eating 4-legged creatures was banned, but when the Meiji Era (1868) ended the Shogunate, western culture was adapted and gradually Japanese returned to eating tasty wagyu beef in the cities.
