Japan has a global reputation for magnificently tender and high-quality domestic wagyu beef. There are many delicious varieties of wagyu, but Gifu prefecture’s local Hida beef is known as one of the very best. The main differences of Hida beef from other wagyu can be found in its muscle and marbling. While all branded A5 varieties feature intense marbling, Hida beef is considered by many to be the ideal wagyu.
Hida cattle are raised on the clean air and pristine water of Gifu prefecture located under the shadow of Japan’s Northern Alps. Although the prefecture originally had several varieties of local cattle referred to as “Gifu beef,” the Hida beef brand wasn’t established until the 1980s when a cattle farmer brought a breeding bull named Yasufuku to Gifu from Hyogo prefecture, the birthplace of Kobe beef. Yasufuku is widely considered to be the patriarch of modern-day Hida beef cattle.
While the Kobe beef brand is internationally recognized, Hida beef has become equally esteemed in Japan since winning the Wagyu Olympics in 2002. Many say that it’s the pure spring water of Gifu prefecture that contributes to the wonderful flavor of Hida beef. In addition, Gifu farmers are highly skilled at raising superior cattle that yield the very best quality cuts.
Wagyu fat melts at a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius so to ensure the best quality please give the meat ample time to thaw in the chiller before cooking to prevent the fat from melting. To preserve the natural flavor of the Wagyu Beef please use its own fat to line the pan, griddle or grill you will be using, you may cut off a small piece of fat from the steak to use should it be necessary.
The majority of beef that most renowned Japanese Wagyu brands such as Kobe, Matsusaka and Tajima produce come from Hokkaido. Hokkaido has fairly low temperatures, the proper climate for raising calves. Rich in nature, Hokkaido provides fresh water and clean air.
The Wagyu calves (approximately 10 months after birth) are sent to specialized farms to be taken cared of with high quality feed and nutrients. Hokkaido Brand Wagyu lovingly fatten each calf individually at the production centers ensuring the world that the beef from Hokkaido is of the highest quality.
