Sanuki Wagyu — Premium Wagyu Beef from Shodoshima Island, Japan
Sanuki Wagyu is one of Japan’s finest wagyu varieties, recognized nationwide for its exceptional quality. Produced exclusively on Shodoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture — a region blessed with a mild climate, pure water, and a long-standing cattle-raising tradition — Sanuki cattle are raised with special care and a unique feed that sets them apart from other wagyu: olive lees, a by-product of the island’s renowned olive oil production.
This distinctive olive-based diet results in beef with less fat, higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids, and antioxidants — making Sanuki Wagyu one of Japan’s most health-conscious wagyu options. The meat is tender with a subtle sweetness, a signature aroma, and delicate, even marbling that keeps it juicy whether grilled, used in shabu-shabu, or served as steak.
The success of Sanuki Wagyu is no accident; it reflects the expertise and dedication of local farmers who have continually refined their methods. Their innovative feeding process is patented and has won multiple national awards at Japan’s prestigious wagyu competitions."
