The meat used for this patty may change depending on the season, so there may be differences in color. This does not affect the quality or safety of this product. Not your typical Wagyu. Introducing ethically raised and locally sourced pure Japanese Wagyu beef from Iwate Prefecture. Each pack contains one 100g (3.5oz.) hamburger-shaped Wagyu beef patty with a well-balanced 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio. These beef cattle spend their first 10 months grazing on lush green grass in open pastures with their mothers before moving to spacious barns, where they remain free to roam during the 18-month fattening period. Breeding cows continue to live on pasture for their entire lives. The cattle are humanely raised and treated with respect, without growth-promoting hormones, preventative antibiotics, or GMO feed. High-quality lean meat gives the burger rich beefy flavor, while premium Wagyu fat keeps it juicy. This ground beef is 100% beef, with absolutely no pork meat, pork fat, additives, spices or sugar. We recommend reshaping the patty with your hands after defrosting it if needed so that it doesn't fall apart during flipping. If you're looking for clean, premium Wagyu beef, look no further.
