WASHUGYU ALL NATURAL BEEF PROGRAM
Washugyu is certified and meets all criteria for All Natural Beef by the USDA.
NHTC (Non-Hormone Treated Cattle)
Washugyu is certified by the USDA as all natural and all the beef must be produced by the cattle which have never been treated with hormones.
We use an integrated manufacturing system, which was created when our company was founded. It organizes, isolates, and feeds all cattle from birth. All information is managed by ear tags, meanwhile at the time of production, process for USDA authorization is submitted.
Washugyu have been raised under strict standards without hormone use, and this has enhanced the Umami flavor and marbling of the beef.
HQB (High Quality Beef)
The greatest feature of Washugyu is the “Natural Umami” flavor.
Needless to say, Washugyu has much greater marbling than most U.S. Beef. The prolonged fattening period brings out the natural flavor of the meat. People in Japan say, Japanese Wagyu has marbling (lots of intramuscular fat), which adds to the tenderness and allows one to enjoy the flavor of the fat.
Washugyu also has marbling, but it’s just right, not too greasy and it has a natural flavor. You can enjoy the complimentary flavors of marbling and Umami.
If you try it just once, you will understand.

What is Washugyu?
Washugyu is made in the USA by Japanese Wagyu experts using only consciously selected ingredients.
Washugyu is produced by using a custom Japanese cross-breeding program.
Our cross-breeding system carefully selects superior genetic traits (Tajima Wagyu sires) and cross breeds them with the finest Black Angus females. They are raised on a strict feeding program originating from Japan that promotes marbling deposition using the highest quality feed available. We achieved this by recruiting one of the most experienced Japanese Wagyu Breeder/Feeder, a man with decades of experience and knowledge, who has come over to the U.S. to develop and monitor our Wagyu breeding and feeding programs.
Since the breeding, feeding and rearing of Wagyu cattle is a closely guarded secret -even in Japan- this knowledge has not been available in the United States until now. Using this knowledge, and superior feeding programs, we produce a superior product. Beef with marbling and flavor that surpasses any other domestically-produced Wagyu beef currently available in the United States. Unlike U.S. domestic beef, 99.99% of our Wagyu Beef is graded USDA PRIME or Higher.
Washugyu has a harvest period of approximately 27 months to 35 months.
The Washugyu cattle are on this feeding program about for 30 months; far longer than most domestic cattle in the U.S. as greater maturity translates to more flavorful and better marbleized beef.
Washugyu is harvested at approximately 27 months to 35 months of age.
The Washugyu cattle are fed for approximately 30 months; far longer than most domestic cattle in the U.S. as greater maturity in Wagyu cattle translates to beef with more flavor and marbling.
As you can see in the figure below, Washugyu feeds for longer U.S. Beef or U.S. Wagyu.
