Kumamoto beef is a premium type of Japanese beef known for its rich flavor and tenderness. It comes from the Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, where the cattle are raised in a stress-free environment. The unique climate and high-quality feed contribute to the beef's exceptional marbling and taste. The cattle are primarily of the Wagyu breed, which is famous for its high levels of intramuscular fat. This marbling not only enhances the flavor but also gives the meat a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Kumamoto beef is highly sought after both in Japan and internationally for its quality.
