Origins
The phrase “wagyu,” derived from the words “wag,” which means Japanese, and “gyu,” which means cattle, refers to a number of closely related breeds of Japanese beef cattle. The Wagyu cattle of today are related to cattle that have lived in Japan for approximately two thousand years. A few European cattle breeds, including Holstein and Angus, were brought to Japan in the late 1800s, where they interbred with the native cattle. The two main varieties of Wagyu cattle available today are Black Wagyu (standard) and Red Wagyu. Wagyu cattle are prized for their succulent meat, great fertility, and high price today.
