THE WAGYU OF THE ALPS
In the heart of the
Japanese Alps
Japanese Alps
The Hida region, in Gifu prefecture, lies deep in the Japanese Alps. High altitude, deep forests, snowy winters.
Hida-gyu is one of Japan's four great historic wagyu — alongside Kobe, Matsusaka, and Omi.
A tradition passed down from the mountain villages of Takayama, with official prefectural grading reserved for A4 and A5.
ALTITUDE AND COLD
Snow, rivers
and pure air
and pure air
Herds graze at over 800m altitude. Cold nights, even in summer, slow growth — marbling develops slowly.
The crystalline water of alpine rivers, filtered by granite, irrigates the pastures.
Final feeding with local rice and mountain grains. Result: a very fine texture, diffuse marbling.
