WAGYU FROM THE THERMAL SPRINGS
The shining springs
of Beppu and Yufuin
of Beppu and Yufuin
Oita prefecture, in eastern Kyushu, has the highest density of volcanic hot springs in Japan: Beppu, Yufuin, Kuju.
Cattle graze on high-altitude plateaus — bamboo forests, tall grass pastures, a cool climate even in summer.
A serene land, bathed in thermal vapors — hence Oita wagyu's reputation for its remarkable tenderness.
A UNIQUE ECOSYSTEM
Bamboo, vapors
and high pastures
and high pastures
Between the Kuju volcanoes and the Beppu coast, Oita unfolds a mosaic of microclimates. Farmers choose the most sheltered slopes.
Water mineralized by volcanic activity — rich in silica and magnesium — irrigates the pastures.
The cattle are finished with fermented bamboo, a regional specialty that softens the aromatic profile of the meat.
