Genmai Sodachi Iwate Menkoi Kuro-ushi (Brown Rice-Raised Iwate Menkoi Black Cattle)
Genmai Sodachi Iwate Menkoi Kuro-ushi is raised at Kirosa Farm in Iwate Town, Iwate District, Iwate Prefecture, and is fed a diet that includes over 5% brown rice. This results in beef with a higher oleic acid content, which gives the fat a lower melting point and a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
The feed is free from antibiotics and growth hormones, ensuring a pure and natural diet for the cattle.
The premium sirloin cuts are sliced before delivery, perfect for hearty 2.0 cm-thick steaks. With its fresh and thick quality, this beef is best enjoyed cooked rare to medium-rare.
