Grilled Filet Rare Wagyu Hokkaido Snow Beef Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Wagyu means Japanese beef. Wa means Japan and gyu is beef. The term is not a particular breed of beef but means beef produced in Japan. Wagyu comes from particular breeds of cows that have long been raised in Japan. The most common is the Japanese Black which accounts for most of what is sold and marketed as Wagyu. The cow is fattened before being slaughtered for the market resulting in a very marbled and tender beef with decadent fatty flavors. This is a plate of one of the rarest Wagyu which is the Hokkaido Snow beef imported from Japan.
