  • Wagyu beef is one of the most expensive in the world, the Japanese government regulates the production and sale, to ensure the value and quality of the meat. 
  • Wagyu is graded based on two factors: the amount of meat that can be produced, and the quality of its marbling. Only A3 and A5 Wagyu are certified for sale in Japan. The higher the score, the higher the price.
  • The cows are fed a mixture of fiber and a high-energy concentrate made from rice, wheat and hay. They are often fed three times a day for almost two years, until they reach almost 50% fat. 
  • Most of the myths about their breeding are false, it’s true that each farm may have specific care and special feed for the cows, but it is false that they are played classical music or given beer to drink.
  • The common goal for the meat is to look good in their marbling, but the approach can change depending on the farm and area.
