Awa Kuroushi: Exceptional Flavor with Unmatched Quality
What is Awa Kuroushi?
Awa Kuroushi is a crossbreed of Holstein cows and high-quality Japanese Black Wagyu bulls, uniquely developed to combine the best of both breeds. The result? Beautifully marbled meat that balances the robust flavors of Wagyu with the leaner, tender profile of Holstein beef—all at a price that’s surprisingly affordable.
Why Choose Awa Kuroushi?
• Outstanding Marbling: The combination of Wagyu’s superior fat distribution and Holstein’s muscle structure creates a beautifully marbled texture with just the right amount of fat.
• Affordable Luxury: High-quality beef doesn’t have to break the bank. Awa Kuroushi offers a luxurious eating experience at a reasonable price point, making it perfect for everyday indulgences or special occasions.
• Locally and Lovingly Raised: These cattle are raised in the pristine natural environment of Tokushima Prefecture by expert farmers at some of the largest and most reputable ranches in western Japan, such as Hasegawa Ranch and Awa Farm.
