Features of Hohoemi Beef, a Brand from Kawaguchi Market

Hohoemi Beef is a new wagyu brand raised in Saitama Prefecture. It is characterized by its moderate marbling, tender texture, and rich, melt-in-your-mouth quality.

Highlight: The “Togarashi” Cut

The most popular part of Hohoemi Beef is a cut known as Togarashi. The name comes from its resemblance to the shape of a chili pepper (togarashi in Japanese).

This cut is a dream for lean meat lovers! It is a rare part, with only about 2 kg available from a single cow. Togarashi is a portion of the shoulder (arm) near the shoulder blade, featuring firm, flavorful meat. While technically part of the shoulder, its texture resembles that of thigh meat, and the fine marbling inside is particularly appealing.

Flavor Profile

The taste is clean and light, with a subtle sweetness. When you bite into it, the lean meat releases its concentrated umami flavor, accompanied by a juiciness similar to fat. This unique combination makes Togarashi incredibly appealing.

Serving Recommendation

For the best experience, enjoy the trimmed, boneless portion of Togarashi lightly grilled to savor its full flavor. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking a lean yet flavorful cut!
