Japan A5 Grade Yamagata Beef Direct from Farm
First up at the city’super Japanese Meat Fair is, of course, our long-time signature product. city’super purchases whole black wagyu Otome Ushi, or heifers, that are over 30 months old from Yamagata Prefecture. This type of cattle is very rare and precious, and makes what is considered the best Yamagata beef on the market. Through long-term fattening, the melting point of the fat of Otome Ushi can be as low as 14.7℃, which is much lower than that of normal wagyu, at 25.9℃. The low-fat-melting point guarantees a melt-in-the-mouth experience.
Combine the finely textured Japan Yamagata Chilled A5 Grade Wagyu Beef Striploin with fluffy Japanese rice and tasty sauces for a simple yet highly satisfying and umami-packed meal.
Popular Condiments:
Seiyufoods Garlic Miso BBQ Sauce
The fragrant black garlic and miso can bring out the umami and sweetness of meat dishes. Also great when poured over egg and rice.
Seiyufoods Garlic Soy Sauce BBQ Sauce
Garlic is added to the soy sauce base for aroma and sweetness that will stimulate your appetite. Apart from being a great yakiniku sauce, it is also excellent with fried rice, cold tofu, fried eggplant or pasta.
Seiyufoods Garlic Ponzu Citrus Vinegar BBQ Sauce
A citrus vinegar sauce specially made for meat. With the sweetness of onion and the rich flavour of black garlic, it can neutralise the greasiness of meat, and can be used as a marinade or for burgers or steaks, or with stir-fries.
Award-winning A5 Grade Matsusaka Beef
A specialist in raising Matsusaka Ushi, Ito Farm has over 60 years of experience of doing so. Pure-bred black wagyu heifers are carefully fattened for close to 40 months to achieve a well-distributed and extremely refined marbling and a melt-in-the-mouth texture. When wagyu reaches 35 months old, the saturated fatty acids contained in the meat will convert to unsaturated fatty acids, well known for their health benefits, and get a silky texture. Ito Farm has been awarded for three consecutive years with the Grand Champion Cattle Prize in the prestigious annual Matsusaka Beef Carcass Contest, demonstrating the farm’s expertise and craftsmanship in raising exceptional cattle.
If you want to savour the original taste of Matsusaka beef, we recommend pan-frying the wagyu in its own fat, then adding a drop of a soy sauce specially created for beef to take the aroma and umami of the meat to the next level.
Must-have Condiment: Kanzaki Gyusho Fermented Aged Beef Soy Sauce
Made with Japanese wagyu beef and koji; the umami of the beef is even more intense after fermentation. Just a few drops can enhance the flavour and depth of a dish.
Sweet and Tasty Whey Pork Directly from Hokkaido Farm
Hokkaido Whey Pork is one of the best-known brands from Tokachi District, Japan. The breeding and raising process is strictly monitored, and the pigs are then flown directly to Hong Kong. They are raised in a natural, stress-free environment and their feed is supplemented with whey 80 days after birth. The pork has a mild aroma and a sweetness, and is low in fat and high in protein.
How about enjoying a bowl of Hokkaido Whey Pork Don and savouring local Tokachi flavours?
Must-have Condiment: Sorachi Sauce for Tokachi Style Pork Rice
A delicious sauce that can be used for simple cooking of the local “pork bowl” dish in the Doto, Tokachi and Obihiro regions of Hokkaido. With a base of soy sauce and sugar and without diluting it with water, the sauce is fragrant and sweet.
Firm and Chewy Nagoya Cochin Chicken
One of Japan's most famous chicken breeds, the Nagoya Cochin Chicken is a native breed with a century of history, and was once endangered due to impact of imported chicken. Fortunately, it was preserved thanks to the efforts of local chicken farmers in the 1880s and became the town’s signature breed. city’super’s Nagoya Cochin Chicken is flown directly from the farm to Hong Kong. It takes 3 times the feed and 2.5 times longer to raise Cochin Chicken compared to normal chicken. The meat of Cochin Chicken is firm, chewy and extra flavorful.
