Summo Wagyu: Exclusive Japanese Beef from Hida, Available Only at OS Meatshop

Summo Wagyu originates from the Hida region in central Japan, a location celebrated for its pristine environment, featuring clean air, pure water, and lush green pastures—perfect for raising premium cattle. The history of Hida Wagyu began in the early 1980s, as the region focused on crafting high-quality beef characterized by exceptional marbling and flavor.

Sourced from the Kuroge Washu breed, or Japanese Black, Summo Wagyu is renowned for its outstanding marbling, unparalleled tenderness, and rich taste. Only the finest Kuroge Washu cattle are selected, with strict adherence to preserving pure bloodlines to ensure the highest standards. These cattle are raised on a specialized diet of rice straw, corn, barley, and grains over approximately 30 months, promoting optimal marbling development. They are nurtured in a stress-free environment, monitored with regular health checks, and kept in clean, comfortable conditions. This meticulous care results in Summo Wagyu—a premium product that embodies the pinnacle of Japanese beef craftsmanship.

Often compared to other prestigious brands like Kobe beef, Hida Wagyu stands out for its distinctive flavor profile and the exceptional dedication to cattle rearing. Summo Wagyu takes this a step further, offering an exclusive product that is only available through OS Meatshop.
