Grilling wagyu is a little different than grilling other kinds of beef. Follow our guide below to ensure the perfect grill every time.

Meats in Japanese barbecue generally come either marinated in a special sauce or lightly salted. Marinated meats are usually fuller in flavor, marinated in a blend of soy sauce, miso, and garlic. When grilled, they bring out the umami of the meats and give off an incredibly fragrant and toasty aroma. Salted meats, on the other hand, allow you to fully experience the flavors and umami of the meat itself without any interruptions.

Here at Furusato, you can choose between marinated or salted meats for all of your selections, but if you truly want to experience the difference between wagyu and standard beef, we recommend choosing lightly salted instead of marinated. Since our wagyu is raised under the strictest standards, there is no need to mask the flavor with herbs and spices. Our wagyu shines all on its own with an aroma like sweet chestnuts and a delicate umami.
