    Day in the Life of a Japanese Wagyu Beef Farmer



    A day in the life of a Japanese Wagyu Beef Farmer AKA Japanese wagyu cattle farmer. This video helps explain what is wagyu beef and how it is made in Japan, specifically Miyazaki Beef 宮崎牛 a premium Wagyu. We follow, Ryuji, who runs a Japanese wagyu cattle farm in Miyazaki. As mentioned in the video, if you want to help support the farm check out

    This is Ryuji’s typical day a day a wagyu farmer from morning until evening. We even visit a Japanese Wagyu Cattle auction during his day and see him sell 3 of of his Japanese kuroge black haired cows. Ryuji raises Miyazaki Gyu, Gyu meaning beef, from Japanese Black Haired cattle, a brand of Wagyu. Wagyu literally translated means Japanese Beef, but all beef raised in Japan domestically is not considered Wagyu. Wagyu is a premium grade beef in Japan and refers specifically to four breeds of cattle – Black hair, Brown hair, Polled and Shorthorn raised and bred in Japan with the strictest guidelines and requirements ultimately producing a high-end quality Japanese beef known worldwide for it’s beautiful marbling and deep umami flavor.

    In fact, Japan has over 200 premium Wagyu brands throughout the country each with its own unique methods to raise it’s cattle, The Kobe Beef brand, is probably the most known overseas because it was the first wagyu brand promoted internationally due it being located at one Japan’s largest port cities. Ryuji’s Miyazaki Beef brand, specifically produces the highest grade of Wagyu possible, A4 and A5 quality, which is one of the reasons why Miyazaki Beef is one of the leading wagyu brands in Japan

      Thanks but this just embers me for the united states of what it could have been and what it should have been if not for our Government

      I’m a big hypocrite since I eat meat but this was a tough watch – I couldn’t finish watching the video and look at those poor animals.

      Poor cows, raised to be killed and are boxed in tiny spaces most of their lives 😢

    16. Fez Ramos on

      These cows are in horrible health youre eating the equivalent of an obese person with heart disease 😅 there is a reason the cow is mostly fat absolutely no lean meat in wagyu its. All fat

    24. Mario S on

      It's wild that these people go to their restaurant and eat the cows they used to feed and clean 😂 like, my dudes, do you ever get sick of cows?

      #1 at least in America NO LIT CIGARETTES in the barn. Too much risk of fire. #2 I hope that someone milked that Brown Swiss. It was to the point of pain and at risk of devolving mastitis. Other than that everything is interesting.
