A5 Satsuma Wagyu Jo-Karubi Yakiniku

Melt in your mouth Satsuma wagyu goodness. The Jo Karubi comes from the short rib set of an A5 Satsuma Gyu. The higher than usual BMS10+ yakiniku beef is a treat that is buttery and unctuous. Exactly what comes to mind when we think of Wagyu!

However it is also possible to have too much of a good thing! We recommend sharing the 150g portion between 2 person in a single seating. Because of the high fat content, it is possible that you find the cut too rich or filling. In which case try adding  a squeeze of lemon.

In the Minami Satsuma Valley in Kagoshima Prefecture, a small group of 12 Master Wagyu farmers have created the Satsuma Gyu brand. With a deep devotion to animal welfare and producing some of the highest quality Japanese Wagyu Beef.

Satsuma Wagyu Beef are bred only by Meijin* Wagyu Farmers. Its specially formulated diet, consists of 100% locally grown agriculture products. The cattle's main source of energy comes from rice plants, which are cultivated on the slopes of Mt Aso in Kumamato Prefecture. Through joint research between the local University, the Wagyu and Rice farmers, they have determined the best types of rice to grow and also the most suitable times of the year to harvest, where the plants are at their most nutritious. 

Satsuma Gyu is starkly different from the conglomerate style Beef Agriculture in Japan. Representing a new era of Wagyu farming. Here at Meat Co. we are definitely rooting for them!
