Daikoku Beef: A Harmony of Flavor and Strength
Daikoku Beef is a premium crossbred beef from the natural landscapes of Izumo, Shimane Prefecture. A combination of Japanese Black (Kuroge Washu) and Angus breeds, it merges the best traits of both to deliver exceptional quality.
Key Features of Daikoku Beef
1. Crossbreed Excellence:
• Japanese Black (Kuroge Washu): Known for its tender texture, marbling, and rich umami flavor.
• Angus Breed: Renowned for its robust frame, high-quality red meat, and natural resilience.
• The result is beef with a balance of tender marbling and substantial, flavorful red meat.
2. Robust Growth in a Unique Climate:
• Daikoku Beef cattle are raised in Shimane’s natural environment, enduring the cold winds from the Sea of Japan and harsh winters.
• This resilience contributes to their robust health and exceptional meat quality.
3. Specialized Feed:
• Cattle are fed a carefully developed diet, including alcohol-fermented feed, which enhances the meat’s umami and sweetness, creating a rich flavor that lingers on the palate.
Flavor and Texture
• Juicy and Flavorful: The beef combines the Angus breed’s rich, high-quality red meat with the tender texture and refined flavor of Japanese Black.
• Perfect Marbling: Like wagyu, the meat features just the right amount of marbling for a melt-in-your-mouth experience without being overly fatty.
• Versatility: Its clean, balanced flavor appeals to all age groups, making it perfect for a variety of dishes.
Daikoku Beef delivers a hearty yet refined taste experience, embodying the best of Shimane’s natural bounty and the dedicated care of local farmers. Perfect for those seeking beef with both flavor and substance.
