AMANI-NO-MEGUMI Beef is a friendly to the global environment beef and contributes to human health and the future of food.
There is yet another reasons why this beef has been well received by so many people.

Mr. Igarashi of Shikishima Farm, who is involved in the integrated breeding and fattening of Japanese Black Wagyu and has also been helping us raise our cattles by using flaxseed-derived feed, told us about the difference in taste.

As they continued their research, the project members were surprised to learn that feeding flaxseed to mother cattles that had experienced pregnancy and childbirth (delivered cow) significantly improved their flavor.

We have also received many comments that AMANI-NO-MEGUMI Beef is refreshing, and you can eat a lot of it without getting sick to your stomach. The reason for this, Kondo says, may lie in the quality of the fat.

Flax is grown in cold regions such as Canada, Kazakhstan, and Russia overseas, and in Hokkaido in Japan.

The seeds are pressed for oil, imported, and processed into a powder by using the proprietary technology of our partners TAIYO YUSHI and Tsuji Oil Mills, and this is the feed for AMANI-NO-MEGUMI Beef. The powdered form makes it easy for cattles to eat and for us humans to handle.

In order to deliver AMANI-NO-MEGUMI Beef, the farmers who raise the cattle are also indispensable. Each cattles are carefully raised by the farmers who put their heart and souls into each one of them.

In addition, Shikishima Farm carefully manages the rearing of mother cattle prior to calving using data to ensure the birth and growth of healthy calves. The farm also uses environmentally friendly breeding methods, such as examining the genes of fattening cattles to understand their abilities and using the data to determine the appropriate and early shipping time, rather than simply shipping cattles early based only on a sense of feeling.

The members of Nichirei Fresh had one important thing in mind when obtaining cooperation from production farmers. That is, to visit the farmers directly and inform them the guidance on proper feed practices and explaine the value of the product. By communicating directly with them, we hope that the farmers who raise AMANI-NO-MEGUMI Beef will be able to fatten their cattles with a conviction of the value of the product.

Matsubara says there must still be new possibilities for this beef that uses such flaxseed-derived ingredients.

Producers and consumers are not the only ones who appreciate the AMANI-NO-MEGUMI series that Nichirei Fresh has been working on for nearly 30 years. In the "Ask Doctors Evaluation Service,” in which Japanese physicians objectively evaluate products and services, 98% of 100 physicians rated our products as highly recommended.

In the future, Kondo hopes to spread the use of flaxseed as a fattening method to farms overseas, especially in the United States, where grain-fed cattlers are most raised in the world.

AMANI-NO-MEGUMI Beef is loved by people of all ages, from children to adults. We hope you will continue to look forward to its ever-expanding possibilities!
