As one of the top six wagyu producing areas of Japan, Yamagata Prefecture boasts some of the highest grade of buttery and impossibly tender beef in all of Japan. Yamagata Wagyu beef is said to have more substandial texture than other wagyu, yet is also known for literally melting in your mouth even before you begin chewing. Yamagata Wagyu makes an excellent gateway wagyu, a great middle ground between rich buttery flavor of wagyu and the familiar, classic steak texture of Western-style beef. You can enjoy Yamagata Wagyu beef at a variety of restaurants across Yamagata Prefecture and also select markets!

For this experience, we will make arrangements for you at a Yamagata city restaurant for a Wagyu yakiniku course meal  showcasing Yamagata Wagyu beef. With the meal set beforehand, you can enjoy your meal with ease even if you don’t speak Japanese.
