SUMMO Wagyu is sourced from the Hida region in central Japan, recognized for its pure water, clean air, and lush green pastures—ideal conditions for raising Kuroge Washu (Japanese Black) cattle. These cattle are raised under meticulous care, enjoying a specialized diet of rice straw, corn, barley, and grains for about 30 months. This commitment to animal welfare and stress‑free farming results in:
-
Exquisite Marbling: Hida Wagyu contains a higher percentage of monounsaturated fats, creating a melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture.
-
Delicate Flavor: A subtle sweetness and umami depth set Summo Wagyu apart from other premium beef varieties.
-
Traditional Craftsmanship: Hida farmers follow time‑honored rearing and butchering techniques, ensuring each cut is treated like a work of art.
-
Pure Bloodlines: Only the finest Kuroge Washu cattle are selected, preserving the legendary quality of this beef.
