※The naming of Japanese beef brands can sometimes vary depending on the context, but both “Misaki Ushi” and “Misaki Gyu” are acceptable. The choice largely depends on the branding preference and the intended audience:
1. Misaki Ushi: This is a more formal and traditional representation, often used in Japanese contexts or when emphasizing the cattle itself (“ushi” meaning cow in Japanese).
2. Misaki Gyu: This is commonly used in English contexts or for international branding, as “gyu” is more directly associated with beef in culinary and consumer terms.
For consistency with Meats Town and global recognition, “Misaki Gyu” might be the preferred choice when targeting a wider, English-speaking audience.
