Carnimex

Japanese Wagyu is considered the most exclusive beef in the world and a true experience for anyone who has ever tasted it. Our Japanese Black is raised in the warm climate and pristine environment of Kagoshima Prefecture, at the southwestern tip of Kyūshū.

The cattle are raised following centuries-old Japanese traditions and fed for over 840 days, resulting in A4 and A5 quality with a BMS of up to 12, the very top of the Japanese grading scale.

Every shipment is accompanied by a grading certificate from the Japan Meat Grading Association; a copy always accompanies the product. It is delivered chilled to any professional kitchen or specialty counter in Europe within two working days of ordering.
