Snow Beef is the name given to Taniguchi Farm's award-winning Japanese Black Wagyu, raised in the Furano Basin of Hokkaido, one of Japan's snowiest and most remote highland regions. This wagyu is fattened through a feeding program developed over 50 years ago, run entirely in-house using locally sourced ingredients.
To stay warm and build condition through winter, cattle consume significantly more feed than those raised in the south, producing larger primal cuts and a fat quality that reflects the clean highland diet. The result is an extremely low fat melting point and even marbling distribution from edge to centre, a consistency rarely seen across other prefectures.
