Kurotama Wagyu

The Art of Balance:
Wagyu × Angus

Black Pearl: The name Kurotama is com­po­sed of the Japanesewords Kuro (black) and Tama (pearl). Kurotama com­bi­nes the best of two renow­ned breeds of catt­le: the uni­que marbling of Japanese Black Wagyu and the rich, full-bodi­ed fla­vor of Black Angus.

Its excep­tio­nal qua­li­ty is unders­cored by the hig­hest Japanese clas­si­fi­ca­ti­on, A5, as well as a Beef Marbling Score (BMS) of 8 to 12. A spe­cial grain-fee­ding regi­men lasting at least 300 days pro­mo­tes fine intra­mus­cu­lar fat marbling and ensu­res the meat’s cha­rac­te­ri­stic ten­der­ness, jui­ci­ness, and rich flavor.

Volcanic land­scapes, fer­ti­le soil, and a mild cli­ma­te cha­rac­te­ri­ze the island of Kyushu in sou­thern Japan. These uni­que natu­ral con­di­ti­ons form the foun­da­ti­on for its world-renow­ned Wagyu tradition.

This careful­ly sel­ec­ted cross­breed stands out for its balan­ce of fla­vor, qua­li­ty, and cost-effec­ti­ve­ness. The result is a pre­mi­um beef with a fine tex­tu­re, inten­se uma­mi, and an attrac­ti­ve value for money for the modern food­ser­vice industry.
