About Kumano Beef

Kumano Beef (熊野牛, Kumano gyu) traces its origins back to the Heian period when pack oxen were brought from Kyoto to the Kumano region. Over the years, these cattle were traditionally raised in southern Wakayama’s Kumano area as draft animals for farming.

To develop these cattle as a source of premium meat, they were crossbred with Tajima cattle to produce a refined wagyu breed now branded as the luxurious Kumano Beef.

Known for its fine marbling, tender texture, and rich, savory flavor, Kumano Beef is an excellent representation of Japan's esteemed wagyu tradition.
