Hokuso Hanaushi, a crossbreed of Japanese Black (Kuroge Washu) and Holstein, is the counterpart to Hokuso Wagyu, which consists exclusively of Japanese Black cattle.
Key Characteristics

Like Hokuso Wagyu, Hokuso Hanaushi is raised with a focus on high-quality feed, which significantly enhances the flavor and texture of the meat.
2. Enhanced Umami with Pineapple Byproduct Enzymes:
During the mid-fattening stage, the cattle are fed pineapple pulp-derived enzymes, which greatly enhance the umami flavor of the lean meat.
3. Superior Red Meat and Fat Quality:
Hokuso Hanaushi is known for its excellent red meat and balanced fat, providing a luxurious yet accessible dining experience.
4. Affordable Luxury:
One of its standout features is the ability to offer premium-quality beef at a reasonable price, making it a popular choice for a wide range of consumers.
Hokuso Hanaushi combines the richness of Japanese Black cattle with the practicality of Holstein, delivering exceptional flavor and value.
