Wagyu, from wa meaning Japanese, and gyu, meaning cow, refers to all Japanese beef cattle notorious both for its rich intramuscular marbling – made of thin streaks of fat dispersed evenly throughout the meat – and its intense red coloring. American Waygu is the result of crossbreeding purebred Japanese cattle with continental breeds, for cuts with the intense marbling of the Japanese cow and the strong meaty flavor of the American cattle.\n\nWagyu Gold Filet Mignon, also known as Tenderloin Steak, which comes from the psoas major, a muscle with little marbling that maintains an extremely tender texture because of its minimal usage.\n\nCompany History:\nSnake River Farms American Wagyu are raised along the high plain of the Snake River in Eastern Idaho, a herd that's one of the most highly regarded groups of American Wagyu cattle in the world. Snake River Farms has adopted many aspects of the heritage-steeped Japanese feeding method which takes up to four times longer than traditional U.S. cattle production methods. The result is stunningly beautiful beef that's extremely tender, intensely flavorful and a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
