Ugo Beef
Akita’s highly sought-after wagyu, quickly sold out in local markets
Ugo Beef introduction
Ugo Town, surrounded by abundant nature, is also famous for producing high-quality "Akitakomachi" rice. The prized black-haired wagyu beef known as Ugo Beef (羽後牛, Ugo-gyu) is raised on this same premium rice straw, a hallmark of this rice-producing region. Each cow is carefully nurtured by dedicated farmers who prioritize not only exceptional flavor but also a commitment to safe, sustainable, and responsible farming practices. This rare brand of wagyu boasts tender, finely marbled meat with a light, delicate fat profile and a robust, rich umami flavor that makes it truly exceptional.
