The Origin of Kokusangyu

"The Essence of Japanese Excellence"

Kokusangyu, or Japanese domestic beef, represents the pinnacle of Japanese cattle breeding traditions. At Iida Farm, we are proud to raise Kokusangyu cattle with the same dedication and expertise that has defined our practice for over a century. Our commitment to quality and tradition ensures that every cut of Kokusangyu from our farm embodies the rich heritage and superior standards of Japanese beef.

Commitment to Genuine Kokusangyu

At Iida Farm, we are dedicated to providing 100% genuine Kokusangyu beef, offering our customers peace of mind and safety. Our farm’s unique strength lies in our comprehensive management system, where we oversee the entire process from breeding to fattening in-house. This integrated approach, supported by our extensive health database, minimizes disease risks and allows for rapid responses, resulting in a lower mortality rate. Additionally, we feed our cattle straw harvested from our own pasture, guaranteeing that their feed is domestically produced and safe.
