Black & Black
Wagyu melt meets steak character
Black & Black is an F1 cross between Tajima Wagyu and Black Angus from Kagoshima. The result: a premium steak with fine marbling, exceptional juiciness and a rich beef flavour – offering more steak-like character and less heaviness than traditional fullblood Wagyu.
For the foodservice industry, Black & Black stands out as it is easy to explain, premium in positioning and straightforward to price. The combination of Wagyu melt and Angus bite creates a taste experience that feels exclusive while remaining accessible to a broader audience.
Quality starts long before the cut: Black & Black is based on around 80% Kuroge Wagyu from the Tajima line and about 20% Black Angus. The cattle are raised in Kagoshima, Japan, in low-stress environments, small herds, and over an extended fattening period of approximately 28 to 36 months. Combined with a balanced diet, this results in meat with fine intramuscular fat, exceptional tenderness and a clear, well-defined flavour profile.
The benefits for foodservice at a glance:
- Wagyu melt and Angus bite combined in one product
- Strong product story with Kagoshima, Tajima lineage and Black Angus
- Juicy, flavourful and reliable in daily kitchen operations
- Premium positioning without fullblood Wagyu price levels
- Easy to communicate, sell and calculate
Black & Black – where Japanese precision meets American strength.
