- 1) Well-marbled meat
Marbling is the white streaks of fat in the red meat. It is a crucial factor when grading wagyu meat, since the fat carries the rich tase of the meat. Saga beef is well-marbled, with white flavourful streaks woven into the tender red meat that melts smoothly in your mouth. - 2) Best selected wagyu beef
With its high standard quality, Saga beef has an evaluation criteria. Saga beef is selected from grade 4 and grade 5 black wagyu beef, the highest and second highest quality beef in the Japanese meat quality grading system. Plus, Saga beef needs to be above “No.7” of BMS, the Beef Marbling Standard, a standard used to scale the amount of marbling in the wagyu beef. It is a 12 level scale, No.12 being the highest, and No.1 the lowest. - 3) Highly recognized brand beef in Japan
Saga beef cows are raised by passionate farmers with expert skills, making Saga beef as one of the best wagyu beef brand in Japan.
