You see the term “Hokkaido Wagyu” more and more often, but what it actually refers to is less well known. Here we set out what makes Hokkaido distinctive as a production region, and what to keep in mind when you enjoy it as yakiniku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hokkaido has a cool climate and plenty of land, and is a major producer of the grass and grain used as feed. Wagyu raised slowly in an environment with wide temperature swings is said to develop a fine-grained texture and fat that is rich without being heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We source mainly A5-grade beef from this region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wagyu is not only for yakiniku. In sukiyaki, the sweetness of the fat meets the warishita broth and takes on a different character. Pair it with Hokkaido-style jingisukan and you can compare several local meats in one sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We serve yakiniku, sukiyaki and jingisukan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
