Wagyu has even more
umami to talk about.
Concept

Kishu Wakaushi is a rare Wakayama brand beef produced in small numbers, focused not on heavy marbling but on the rich flavor of lean meat.

Its fat has a melting point about 5–6°C lower than typical Japanese Black Wagyu, so it melts the moment it hits your mouth. The lean meat is packed with umami, so it never feels heavy as you keep eating. If you find yourself thinking, “I’ve never had beef like this”—that’s what makes us happiest.

Featured on WebJapan, run by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and winner of the Premier Wakayama Special Award. Enjoy this rare Kishu Wakaushi in shabu-shabu, where the ingredient’s flavor comes through most directly. The name “Lab” reflects our desire to share the appeal of this beef carefully and in depth.
