Satsuma Gyu beef is considered to be one of the most richly marbled and most appetizing streaks of fat a steak can have and is also the 1st place Wagyu Olympics Competition winner in Japan.

A major factor in the quality of Satsuma Gyu steaks is the uncompromising regulations the region uses for its cattle. Kagoshima is the largest beef producing prefecture in Japan, this region has temperate climate with plentiful grass land for rasing cattle. To be labelled Satsuma Gyu, cattle must meet the following standards upon slaughter:

• Tajima-Gyu (Japanese Black) born within Kagoshima Prefecture.
• Fed on a farm within Kagoshima Prefecture.
• Meat processed within Kagoshima Prefecture.
• Marbling rating (BMS) of 6 or higher on a 12 point scale.
• Meat quality rating of 4 or higher on a 5 point scale.

Because of these strict standards, only average 3,000 head of cattle qualify as authentic Satsuma Gyu cattle each year.
