The marbling in the Black Wagyu is considered the best.

Date: 23rd October, 2010

Wagyu is the name of a breed of cattle in Japan.

They are a very docile breed, originally bred for field work. More than 85% (2004 numbers) of the cattle raised in Japan are Black Wagyu. The strain called “The Tattori Black Wagyu” is the most prized.

Despite marketing claims, the breed has really only been developed for marbling since the 1950s, when most Japanese farms became mechanized and no longer used the cows for field work.

Fat develops inside the muscles of this breed, not just around them. The marbling in the Black Wagyu is considered the best.

It is very expensive because not a lot of Wagyu Beef is being produced for North American or Australian markets. In fact, those markets have said they want fat-free beef.

Wagyu Beef raised and sold outside of Japan is sold as a Western version of Kobe beef. It is sometimes called “Kobe-style”, because consumers are slightly more likely to have heard of Kobe beef than they are of Wagyu. In general, Wagyu Beef sells for about half the price of certified Kobe beef. Still, a Wagyu rib steak can be $53 US a pound, a porterhouse about $100 a pound (2004 prices.)

Wagyu Cattle are fed differently from other cattle. Other cattle might have 120 days of final fattening at the “feedlot”, and are fed corn. Wagyu will have at least 350 to 500 days of final fattening, and are fed beer and whiskey mash. Unlike in Japan when being raised for Kobe Beef, the cattle aren’t massaged (though that practice has been abandoned in Japan now too, except for show.)

The beef has very good fat marbling even in the cuts that are the “cheaper cuts” on normal beef, such as flank steak or brisket. Thus, these cuts come out far moister owing to the marbling in them.

The Wagyu Beef can be made into cuts that Westerners are familiar with, including hamburgers.

In December 2006, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) passed guidelines stating that beef could only be sold labelled as Wagyu in Japan if the beef were from cattle that had been born in Japan, thus preventing foreign producers from competing in the Japanese market under the name of Wagyu Beef.

Part of their argument points to the fact that what Western consumers are sold as Wagyu Beef is not actually from purebred Wagyu Cattle. Breeders in Australia, particularly, have cross-bred Wagyu Cattle with Angus Cattle, and it is beef from those cross-breeds that is often sold in the West as Wagyu.
