Let’s explore what makes Miyazaki Wagyu so special, why it works beautifully in a handroll, and how your dining experience with us will be unforgettable.
What is Miyazaki Wagyu?
Miyazaki Wagyu is no ordinary beef. It hails from the Miyazaki Prefecture, located on Japan’s southernmost island of Kyushu. The region’s specific climate, along with centuries of selective breeding, has led to Wagyu cattle being known for their exceptional fat marbling. The beef is renowned for its rich, buttery texture and unparalleled flavor. In fact, Miyazaki Wagyu has won multiple awards for being the top-rated beef in Japan, even outshining Kobe beef in national competitions.
The unique characteristics of this beef stem from the way the cattle are raised. They are fed a specially formulated diet, given plenty of space to roam, and cared for meticulously, ensuring each cut of beef is of the highest quality. This attention to detail is what allows Miyazaki Wagyu to stand out as a truly premium product.
Why Miyazaki Wagyu Handrolls?
You might wonder why we chose to offer Miyazaki Wagyu in the form of a handroll. The answer lies in the balance of flavors and textures. Wagyu’s rich, melt-in-your-mouth quality is perfectly complemented by the crisp, refreshing nature of handroll ingredients like fresh vegetables, seaweed, and rice. The handroll allows the Wagyu’s luxurious taste to shine through without being overwhelmed by heavy accompaniments. It’s a modern take on a classic Japanese dish, blending the robust flavors of Wagyu with the simplicity of traditional sushi elements.
Each bite of a Miyazaki Wagyu handroll offers a delightful contrast—the rich beef, the crunch of fresh vegetables, and the soft rice, all wrapped in a sheet of crisp nori (seaweed). It’s a complete flavor experience, allowing you to savor the subtleties of the Wagyu beef while enjoying the textural harmony of a handroll.
The Craft Behind the Handroll
Preparing a Miyazaki Wagyu handroll is not just about assembling ingredients. It’s an art form. Our chefs take great care to ensure that every element of the handroll is balanced and highlights the star ingredient: the Wagyu beef. First, they lightly sear the beef to bring out its natural flavors, careful not to cook it too much so that its signature buttery texture is preserved. Next, the beef is thinly sliced, ensuring that it melts in your mouth with each bite.
The rice, another key component, is seasoned with just the right amount of vinegar to complement the Wagyu’s richness. The vegetables, usually thin strips of cucumber, avocado, or radish, are selected for their freshness and their ability to provide a crisp contrast to the beef. All of this is wrapped in the highest quality nori, which adds a subtle umami flavor and a pleasant crunch to the handroll.
The Health Benefits of Wagyu
While Wagyu beef is indulgent, it also boasts several health benefits when consumed in moderation. The marbling in Miyazaki Wagyu is primarily composed of monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthier than the saturated fats found in other meats. These fats help enhance the beef’s tenderness and flavor while being easier on your heart.
Also, Wagyu contains higher levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids compared to conventional beef. These fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and contribute to overall heart health. So, while you’re enjoying a decadent meal, you can also feel good knowing that you’re consuming a product with nutritional benefits.
