Japanese Range-Free Wagyu Beef BBQ Slices from Iwate (Jou Rousu) (300g)
Introducing 300g (10.6 oz) of ethically raised and locally sourced pure Japanese Wagyu "jou rousu" slices from Iwate prefecture. "Jou rousu" (上ロース) is the Japanese naming convention for these luxurious slices in high-end yakiniku (BBQ) restaurants. They are sourced from different cuts of beef, but are always of the same moderately well-marbled texture and are characterized by their deep meaty flavor and firmer texture.
Delicious whether grilled on its own in a frying pan or over charcoal, or eaten over rice. Perfect for Japanese-style BBQ aka yakiniku. All this premium Wagyu meat needs is a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper, as its already rich flavor and tender texture speaks for itself.
✔ Ethical. No factory farming! Humanely raised and treated with respect.
✔ Safe. No growth hormones or antibiotics - ever!
✔ The cows are only fed non-GMO feeds such as grass, rice straws and dent corn.
✔ Adult cows are pasture-raised their entire lives. Calves are raised with their mothers for 10 months after birth and then spend 18 months in large barns where they can roam freely during their fattening period.
✔ Full traceability from ranch to fork!
✔ Strictly non-commodity. Family farming takes time, attention, patience, and care.

These slices are locally sourced from pure Japanese Wagyu cows raised on a small farm in Iwate Prefecture. Among the four existing Wagyu beef breeds, this beef is from the Shorthorn variety. Compared to the "Japanese Black" breed beef, this is leaner and richer in amino acids, which contributes to its deeper umami flavor.
Not your typical Wagyu. The cows are humanely raised and treated with respect - they always have plenty of room to roam throughout their entire lives. No growth-promoting hormones, no subtherapeutic antibiotics, and no GMO feed. If you're looking for clean, premium, Wagyu beef, look no further.
