Akune Gold Origin

Wagyu heritage in Southern Japan

Akune Gold has roots in Akune City, Kagoshima Prefecture beginning over 60 years ago. Since then, we have worked to refine our Wagyu beef processing technology, quality control and production hygiene levels to high global standards. Today it’s an honor to deliver genuine Japanese Wagyu beef for export markets overseas.

About Akune Plant

Humble rural beginnings

Since establishment in 1957, our original meat processing plant has contributed to health and nutrition through high-quality meat products. Our production and manufacturing aren’t only about creating the best Wagyu possible—we’re also focused on global communication and our core mission: to let the world know about Akune Gold Wagyu’s incredible flavor that comes from cattle raised ethically and with care.

Grading system and BMS

Japanese Wagyu beef is strictly evaluated for total yield, meat quality and marbling according to established criteria monitored by a single third-party organization accredited by the Japanese government. Meat yield is given a rate of either A, B or C, which is paired with a total grade score of 1–5. Marbling is given a separate Beef Marble Score (BMS) from 1–12 defining the amount of marbling present and its level of finely woven intricacy.
