Wagyu Ribeye from the Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan






Wagyu Ribeye from the Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

Import deregulation for Wagyu beef has begun in United States, so you can enjoy Wagyu beef from Japan for a more reasonable cost now. One of the types of Japanese Wagyu beef is called Miyazakigyu. The -gyu ending on both words means beef. This will make it easier to distinguish from other menu items, when no translation is available. It is also imported into the U.S.. The beautiful marbled composition of Wagyu is not only appetizing, but also extremely tender with the umami flavor the Japanese are known for around the world. Don't miss the chance to try Wagyu beef if the opportunity presents itself.


宮崎牛のリブロース

アメリカで和牛輸入の規制緩和がスタートしました。
アメリカで霜降りの和牛が食べられるのです!アメリカ産の牛肉と和牛は全く別物と行っても過言ではありません。それぞれの美味しさがあって甲乙を付ける事はできませんが、和牛を初めて口にするアメリカ人の反応は一様に「Wow.(幸)」です。
