Link with the Production Area

Following meat quality improvement carried out by individual producers since the early 20th century, and collectively since the 1940s, today's community-wide efforts, such as improving cattle fattening techniques, have resulted in the establishment of production systems for ensuring long-term, consistent excellence in the quality of Hidagyu beef cattle.
