The Origin of Kobe Wagyu
"Heritage, Quality, Trust"
Kobe Wagyu is a testament to the heritage and dedication of the Iida Farm, located in the heart of Kobe. For over 100 years, Iida Farm has been a pioneer in breeding and raising Wagyu cattle, with 50% of our livestock being Kobe Wagyu. Our long-standing tradition and commitment to excellence ensure that every piece of Kobe Wagyu from our farm embodies the rich history and superior quality of this prestigious breed.
Commitment to Genuine Wagyu
At Iida Farm, we are devoted to providing 100% genuine Kobe Wagyu, giving our customers peace of mind and safety. Unlike many other farms, we manage the entire process from breeding to fattening in-house. This comprehensive approach, combined with our extensive health database, reduces the risk of disease and allows for swift responses, resulting in a lower mortality rate. Our cattle are also fed straw harvested from our own pasture, ensuring that their feed is domestically produced and safe.
