With a history spanning 56 years since its inception in 1966, this grand competition has become a symbol of excellence in the Wagyu industry.

From an Artisan Legacy

In Japan's southern Kyushu region, Miyazaki boasts an ideal climate for raising Kuroge Washu cattle. Nestled amidst mountains, the cattle graze on vitamin-packed vegetation in fertile volcanic soil, developing the renowned intricate marbling. Many farmers, spanning generations, take immense pride in their craft, forming a legacy. Miyazaki was among the first in Japan to establish a cooperative, upholding breeding excellence in Wagyu. This co-op, recognizing artisan qualities and dedication, continues to contribute to Miyazaki's reputation for some of the world's finest beef.
