KUROHANA WAGYU
-The Top Quality of Japanese Wagyu Beef
Oishii is Peace and Save Everyone!

Our Kurohanagyu (Kurohana cattle) is the fruit of blood, sweat, and tears in decades since the foundation, and it is the first-class quality beef at the pinnacle of Japanese Black Cattle.
Kurohanagyu is named after the collaboration of its gorgeous flavor of meat and the ‘birch tree,’ which roots in the severe coldness that refers to strong vitality and endurance.

Kurohanagyu is raised by nourishing grass, pure mineral water, and natural mother’s milk in our ginormous ranch located in the heart of the Kyushu region. Indeed, these elements are essential to raising great vital cattle with fantastic flavor.We will be providing KUROHANA WAGYU, specialized in scent, sweetness, and mouthfeel that you never encounter anywhere else, with trust and passion, everlastingly.

The Secrets of why KUROHANA WAGYU is so delicious

It is said that the fascinating taste of KUROHANA WAGYU comes from its scent, flavor, and mouthfeel. Generally, a higher B.M.S. (Beef Marbling Score) means better scent and meat conditions. Surprisingly, the performance of B.M.S of Kurohanagyu is outstanding. The flavor depends on the consistency of amino acids in the red part of the meat. Because of our elaborate fattening, KUROHANA WAGYU has a special pleasing flavor. The mouthfeel melting on your tongue as soon as putting it into your mouth is the only thing about KUROHANA WAGYU. Please try the unforgettable taste of KUROHANA WAGYU.

Rich Aroma/ Sweet Flavor/ Tender Mouthfeel

We serve selected items that can save the KUROHANA WAGYU brand. Naturally, meat has a slightly different performance since they live in nature’s favor. Therefore, we select products that have balanced aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel based on our years of wisdom; moreover, we only load the items that pass the severe quality control measures as the ‘KUROHANA WAGYU’ brand to the market.

About our ranchs

Ranches where Our Pride of Kurohanagyu grows

Here is a pleasant environment for our cattle to live comfortably. We have distinctive technology to raise the best cattle, an accurate and strict control system, and skilled staff who are excellent at each field—Yatake Ranch, where all the essentials are gathered to raise the top quality of Kurohanagyu.

Top Size of the Ranch in Japan Yatake ranch is situated in the center of the Kyushu mountains, surrounded by green-rich forest. Yatake forest is a mother having underground mineral water. Although Japan’s Summer is sweltering and humid, there is a cool and calm climate on Yatake, which is suitable for raising black cattle. Yatake ranch is one of the biggest breeding bases in Japan, raising babies from 5,000 cows for breeding.

Rasing healthy Cattle

For Making Healthy Cattle Raising by Natural Mother Milk

We believe cattle itself must be healthy to produce excellent and safe beef. We leave babies and mothers together for a certain period. The babies can grow by genuine mother milk that fertilizes babies’ immune systems, which is essential for getting a solid body. More than anything, babies can grow more stress-freely and healthier by living with their mothers.

Premium, Our Mother Water

There is spring water called ‘Mother Water’ in Yatake. It is clean and tasty mineral water. Everyone, including workers in Yatake, cows, and babies, drinks this water and lives under this premium water blessed by nature.

Delicious Meat depends on what you feed

According to current studies, the content amount of Unsaturated fatty acids, especially Oleic acid, dominates tasty meat. Protect from Vitamin A deficiency. Take good care of each cattle stress-freely. The feed for Kurohanagyu is optimized by balancing cooked and raw ingredients and granularity distribution and adding yeast. These are our contributions learned from years of trial-and-error experience to prevent quitting meals. It enables cattle to have high-quality meat containing much Oleic acid.

Disinfection, 365 days

We do disinfection every day: we thoroughly clean cattle barns and other facilities and tools used by cattle and humans. Keeping clean is the most important to maintain health. You taste KUROHANA WAGYU grown in a safe and clean environment on your table!

Our Latest Fattening Base, ‘Yatake Second Ranch’

This ranch was newly built in 2020, following JGAP standards and putting effort towards a comfortable raising environment. The giant land over 11 hectares consists of 14 solid rebar barns, accommodating 4500 cattle at once. We have installed the latest automatic feeding robot that offers perfect feed distribution calculated for each growth.

About us

Extraordinary Engagement to Your Table

We started as a meat wholesale at the beginning of the company’s history since its foundation in 1947; however, we do consistently from breeding, fattening, and manufacturing to sales today. We are expanding the business because of the unstable Wagyu supply to consumers due to aging farmer resources or an increase in imported beef. We have aimed flexible company management to generational shifts, under our philosophy “Delivering Safe・Comfort・High Quality with Trust to the table,” and from now on.

We started selling our original high-qualitative brand beef, ‘KUROHANA WAGYU’ in 2007. Thanks to everyone, our KUROHANA WAGYU has grown as a top brand. We have obtained integrated production to answer the appreciative demand increase, including over 50 of our own-running ranches with more than 20,000 black cattle. In 2020, we acquired HACCAP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), JGAP (Japan Good Agricultural Practice), also FSSC22000 (Food Safety System Certification) to relieve concerns about the food and environmental security of both our domestic and overseas consumers.

Also, in 2020, we constructed a new beef processing factory that meets the s world safety standard; and we installed the latest mechanics, such as automatic feeding robots, to pursue stable supply and performance efficiency. On the other hand, we have been willingly engaged in new product development, for instance, ‘Kurohanagyu Beef Curry.’
We will all work hard to get our customers’ trust and satisfaction with our products.
