What's Gassan Beef?

Gassan Beef is a type of Japanese Black Beef made from calves specially selected for their lineage. The cows are raised for two years in Nishikawa Town, or are born in Nishikawa Town and raised for more than three years. The base of Mt. Gassan in Nishikawa Town has lots of clean air and water. So cows raised in this natural environment produce fatty tissue with a low melting point. Not only is their meat soft, it seems to melt in one's mouth!

What's Yamagata Beef?

Yamagata Beef, renowned for its rich flavor and mellow fat, is raised in Yamagata Prefecture, a region with distinct four seasons—hot summers, cold winters, and significant temperature differences between day and night. In this natural environment, Japanese Black cattle are carefully and patiently raised over a long period. The result is finely textured meat with exceptional taste, and its secret lies in the quality of the fat.

What's Sachiu Beef?

Sachiu is a region with extremely harsh temperature differences—soaring to around 40°C in summer and dropping below -10°C in winter. These drastic changes in climate actually create ideal conditions for raising high-quality beef, as the temperature variations tighten the meat and concentrate its savory flavor. Sachiu Beef is carefully produced using only heifers (female cattle that have never given birth), whose fat has a lower melting point, allowing the rich flavor to spread instantly as it melts in the mouth. Compared with male cattle, the meat is less muscular, giving it a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. It also contains a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids—essential fats that cannot be synthesized in the body—making it healthier while leaving no greasy aftertaste. This exceptional balance delights diners of all ages, from children to the elderly.
