500 years
of preserved genetics

Kagoshima, in southwestern Kyushu, is Japan's leading producer of Wagyu. Mount Sakurajima, an active volcano, blankets the pastures with its ash.

The Kuroge Wagyu — Japanese Black cattle — is the emblematic lineage. Genetics preserved for over 500 years, nurtured by dozens of family breeders.

Ranked No. 1 in the prefectural ranking in Japan, Kagoshima supplies the most prestigious tables in Asia and Europe.

The soils
of Sakurajima

Between the hot springs of Ibusuki and the green tea fields, Kagoshima offers a temperate subtropical climate. Cattle graze on drained volcanic slopes, exposed to the Pacific Ocean.

The ashes of Sakurajima — one of the most active volcanoes in the world — enrich the soil with rare minerals. The water, filtered by basaltic aquifers, offers exceptional purity.

This unique combination — volcanic soil, mild climate, marine humidity — creates an incomparable terroir, the signature of Kagoshima taste.
