"Bungo-Beef" | Oita | A3 BMS 6 | Ribeye Samplers

Oita Prefecture is blessed with mild climate and rich in nature with lush green mountains and fertile land. In such an ideal environment, Wagyu cattle farmers are committed to minimizing stress to their cattle, thereby enabling the cattle to grow in a relaxed way, leading to delicious Oita Bungogyu beef.

Oita Bungogyu beef has beautiful marbling. With its rich flavor and melting tenderness, the beef is extremely delicious. The pedigrees of sires that have an impact on meat quality have been highly evaluated.

Bungogyu cattle farming has a long history. The sire “Chiyoyama-go” won the top prize at the National Livestock Exhibition in Tokyo in 1921. One historical record shows that the sire was paraded around Ginza with a banner reading “Bungo is the best quality cattle breed in Japan.” More recently in 2017, Oita Bungogyu cattle have become Japan’s number one in the sire division at the 11th National Competitive Exhibition of Wagyu (also known as the “Wagyu Olympics”) in Miyagi Prefecture, winning the Prime Minister’s Award. They also won the Distinction Award in all categories and third prize overall in Japan. Against this backdrop, the reputation of Bungogyu beef is now on the rise.
