The Unmatched Flavor of Tajima bloodline

The Essence of Wagyu Lies in the Bloodline - The Unmatched Flavor of Tajima bloodline -

"The taste of wagyu is determined by its bloodline" — this truth is unanimously voiced by renowned wagyu producers across Japan. Within the industry, there is an unwavering consensus that the Tajima bloodline produces the finest flavor profile.

The Hida beef we proudly offer inherits this prestigious Tajima bloodline, boasting exceptional meat quality and taste that has been perfected throughout the long history of Japanese wagyu cultivation. Hida beef has now emerged as one of Japan's leading premium beef brands alongside Matsusaka and Kobe beef, with the Tajima bloodline playing a significant role in achieving this status.

The Tajima Bloodline: The Source of Kobe and Matsusaka Beef

Raised in the lush natural environment of Hyogo Prefecture, Tajima cattle are the foundation of Japan’s most famous Wagyu brands: Kobe and Matsusaka beef. In fact, only cattle with pure Tajima lineage are allowed to carry the prestigious names of Kobe or Matsusaka beef's highest grade, "Special Selection Matsusaka."

This highlights the unmatched significance of the Tajima lineage in producing exceptional flavors. Even within Hida Beef, cattle with Tajima lineage are rare, making them highly sought-after and exclusive.

At Tenken, we offer BMS12-grade Tajima-lineage Wagyu that is seldom available on the market. We invite you to experience this rare delicacy.

3 Key Features of the Tajima Lineage

1. Superior Marbling

The Tajima lineage boasts a unique genetic trait that produces world-class marbling. Compared to other lineages, the fine marbling interwoven with the muscle creates exceptional tenderness and flavor. The intricate "micro marbling" ensures an even smoother texture.

2. Low Melting Point of Fat

The fat of Tajima-lineage Wagyu melts at a lower temperature, offering a luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth experience. This exceptional fat quality is a defining factor in its irresistible taste.

3. Unmatched Meat Quality

Research shows that overly large cattle tend to compromise flavor. Tajima cattle, being naturally smaller, grow more slowly. This allows farmers to raise them with extraordinary care over extended periods, resulting in deeply flavorful, rich meat of the highest quality.
