NEW: Ozaki Beef - From WagyuMafia Featured Private Farm (2 x 16oz) - Rich Beefy Flavor

2 pieces x 16oz of private farm Ozaki beef!

Ozaki beef refers to beef from Wagyu cattle raised on a single farm owned and managed by Mr. Muneharu Ozaki in Miyazaki Prefecture. He is the only farmer in Japan who uses his own name to market his beef.

Mr. Ozaki began by studying the most advanced techniques related to beef cattle production at a farm in the USA, which houses 17,000 cattle. However, he felt personally unsuited to the mass production methods employed in "beef cattle producing factories" that fatten cattle quickly and ship them at an early stage. Upon returning to Japan, he decided to produce beef that he, his family, and friends would enjoy eating every day. He took over a farm and started by raising 100 cattle. After more than 30 years of effort, he was finally satisfied with the flavor of his beef and named it "Ozaki beef."

The feed for the cattle is mixed every morning and evening during an extremely labor-intensive process lasting two hours. It comprises 15 kinds of feed, such as grass from the meadow, moist barley mash (a by-product of beer brewing), maize, barley, and so forth, with no preservatives or antibiotics whatsoever. While most Wagyu in Japan are slaughtered at around 28 months, Mr. Ozaki believes the flavor continues to improve as they mature, so he prefers to slaughter them when they're 28 to 36 months old.

The mature meat not only possesses a sublime texture but also boasts flavorsome sweetness that emerges as you chew. Its fat melts in the mouth and is easily digested, allowing you to enjoy a whole slab of beef without being overwhelmed by its richness.
