Tankuro Wagyu is a special breed of wagyu that has never before been brought to the USA.
Normally, we have 100% Black (Tajima) Wagyu or a 50% Wagyu x Holstein or Angus Cross. Tankuro is 100% Wagyu, but it is a cross between a Black Wagyu Father and a Shorthorn Wagyu mother. Shorthorn is more known for a meaty texture.
Our selection process is detailed and purposeful. If we select A4 or the rare A5 cattle from Tankuro Wagyu, more of the standard Black Wagyu Tajima genetics shine through. But since most all our other Japanese Wagyu is largely black wagyu genetics, we feel the need to have a full expression of the shorthorn genetics so we purposefully select A3 (medium fatty) marbling for something different.
If you are looking for something with more texture & Meaty than melty, Tankuro might be a good option to try. We've brought in entire cattle and have a variety of options available.
