Sanuki Beef is a Kuroge Washu breed native to Kagawa Prefecture, with a history dating back to 1882 on Shodoshima Island. Originating from cattle raised with prayers for health at Yasaka Shrine, Sanuki Beef gained popularity in the Taisho era in the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe area and expanded across Kagawa. The traditional breeding techniques and the favorable climate of Kagawa have established the foundation for today's Sanuki Beef production.
