Snow Beef is the name given to Taniguchi Farm's award-winning Japanese Black Wagyu, raised in the Furano Basin of Hokkaido, one of Japan's snowiest and most remote highland regions. This wagyu is fattened through a feeding program developed over 50 years ago, run entirely in-house using locally sourced ingredients.

To stay warm and build condition through winter, cattle consume significantly more feed than those raised in the south, producing larger primal cuts and a fat quality that reflects the clean highland diet. The result is an extremely low fat melting point and even marbling distribution from edge to centre, a consistency rarely seen across other prefectures.

Graded A5

The ribeye contains two distinct muscles — the spinalis dorsi (ribeye cap) and the eye of the ribeye. The ribeye cap is incredibly flavourful and tender, widely considered the best part of the ribeye, while the eye delivers deep, concentrated flavour and a firm, satisfying texture. Together they offer two different eating experiences within a single cut.
The striploin offers a more consistent flavour and convenient cooking experience. It provides greater yield with less wastage compared to the ribeye and is highly sought after by restaurants featuring A5 Japanese Wagyu.

Each piece of wagyu is precisely hand-cut and trimmed by our in-house butchers, who remove any unnecessary and excess fat, connective tissue and sinew to ensure the eating experience is as clean as possible. Every portion weighs between 200–250g and is individually vacuum sealed to preserve freshness. Orders are placed in a Styrofoam-insulated box with ice packs and dispatched via Pack & Send and our own distribution network. Please see our shipping policy to learn more.

Every consignment includes an official Beef Carcass Grading Certificate issued by the Japanese Meat Grading Association, confirming the animal's breed, gender, and Yield-Quality Grade.

Wagyu is typically enjoyed medium/medium rare and in smaller amounts due to its richness. One portion (200–250g) serves 2 people.

Your product will remain fresh for up to 2 weeks refrigerated while vacuum sealed, and up to 6 months if frozen. Once the vacuum seal is opened, consume within 2–3 days.
