Located at the foothills of the Kirishima mountain range, between Miyazaki and Kagoshima prefectures, Kirishima Ranch is known for its dedication to producing high-quality Wagyu beef.

Fukunaga sources its Omi beef from Maruki Fukunaga Kizaburo Shoten, a well-known cattle breeder. This establishment is famous for its focus on producing beef with rich flavor rather than just marbling.

Sometimes we get asked, “what is the price of Wagyu in Japan?”, or “is Wagyu cheaper in Japan, instead of (insert country here)?”. The truth is that it varies from place to place, even within Japan.

Wagyu beef, renowned for its exceptional marbling, tenderness, and rich flavor, hails from Japan and has become a global delicacy. The term "Wagyu" literally means "Japanese cow" and refers to several breeds, including the well-known Kobe, Matsusaka, and Ohmi.

The history of Kobe Beef dates back to the late 19th century in Japan. During this time, Japan ended its period of isolation and began opening up to foreign trade.
