And if you’re the kind that really likes to revel in the flavor of your meat in all its juicy glory, there’s nothing quite like Mishima Reserve American Wagyu Beef. Just like us, they make aiming for the extraordinary a way of life.

Mishima Reserve works with a network of small, family-run ranches across the Western United States who follow strict protocol in every aspect of raising their herds, which consist of Japanese- heritage Kuroge Washu bulls crossed with American cows—a union of the tender, healthy richness characteristic of the former and the classic beefiness of the latter.

The goal is for their growth to be the slow, natural kind, as gradual weight gain maximizes that marvelous marbling the breed is known for. The end result is a divinely delicious American Wagyu beef. The first bite is blissfully buttery and resplendently rich—and every bite thereafter is just as good.
