Experience the Unique Flavor of Tokyo Beef
Tokyo Beef, a particularly rare variety of black-haired Wagyu, is now available for purchase through the JA Group's e-commerce platform, JA Town. Known for its outstanding quality and lower production numbers, it's often referred to as the 'phantom' wagyu. The headline product is the Tokyo Beef Shoulder Roast, especially popular for sukiyaki dishes.
What Makes Tokyo Beef Special?
Hailing from the Tokyo area, Tokyo Beef is raised from cattle born in places like Aogashima and fattened in regions such as Machida, Tokyo. With an annual production rate of only a few dozen heads, its limited availability adds an air of exclusivity. Tokyo Beef is renowned for its fine marbling, lustrous texture, and a distinctively sweet and flavorful fat that melts in your mouth. The unique feeding practices and environment contribute to its superior taste compared to other forms of beef.
