What is Wagyu Beef? -Japanese Cuisine at Ryokan-

Wagyu in Japan indicates only the native species cattle (purebred Japanese cattle). It is branded beef, bred and fattened according to Japanese original standards. In Gunma prefecture, you can enjoy Joshu Wagyu(上州和牛), which is one of the kinds of Japanese Black premium brand beef. Our Kashiwaya Ryokan also serve Joshu Wagyu for dinner, so you can experience pure Japanese style inn and Wagyu at the same time.
