BRED TO BE EXTRAORDINARY

UNSURPASSED RICHNESS

Wagyu cattle were originally bred as working animals for exceptional strength and stamina. It was later discovered that these attributes also create a fine marbling in the muscle, which contributes to the extraordinary flavor and tenderness of the beef.
BETTER TASTING AND BETTER FOR YOU

Mishima Reserve beef contains half the saturated fat and twice the mono unsaturated fat - a lighter, sweeter, healthier fat - than other breeds. They also have higher levels of healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

A DEEPER APPRECIATION OF QUALITY

The first thing you notice about Mishima Reserve American Wagyu Beef is the abundance of intricate marbling throughout the meat. But that's just one visible characteristic and source of flavor. Equally important are the texture, tenderness, and density of the beef, all of which are inherently superior qualities of our Kuroge Washu beef.

THE MISHIMA RESERVE METHOD

Kuroge Washu Bloodlines

Our herds consist of Japanese-heritage full-blood Kuroge Washu bulls - known as the best of breed - crossed with American cows, born and raised in the U.S.

Slow, Natural Growth

Our cattle are long-fed and raised over the course of 25 to 28 months (18 to 20 is an industry standard). By allowing them to gain weight slowly, we maximize the superior characteristics of the prized Wagyu breed.

Raised Responsibly

We control every aspect of our cattle's development, with a focus on humane and caring practices that include open access to clean water and fresh air. We have a zero-tolerance policy for growth promotants or added hormones.

Prioritizing Carbon Neutrality

At Mishima Reserve, we believe that sustainability is no longer a choice; it's a necessity, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards when it comes to both quality and sustainability.

ORIGINS

THE MISHIMA RESERVE STORY

The Mishima Reserve story begins as so many stories of discovery begin - as a customer. Experiencing American wagyu first on the plate instilled an immediate appreciation for this delicacy and a desire to bring it to the forefront of the what the luxury beef taste experience could be.

A CREATIVE FOOD COMPANY

As a cutting-edge foods company, we have a keen eye for craft food movements, having had a direct hand in launching and guiding a number of celebrated restaurants and artisan food brands, including Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, Seattle’s landmark steakhouse The Butcher’s Table, and others.

Our first experience with Mishima Reserve—where we gained a deep appreciation for its quality—was as a customer serving it in one of our restaurants. We knew Mishima Reserve and craft beef aligned perfectly with our vision for sharing authentic and unparalleled culinary experiences with others. When an opportunity to acquire Mishima Reserve in 2013, we jumped at the chance to bring this extraordinary brand into the family.

Our passion for delicious, healthy food and our steadfast belief that everyone deserves access to it, are the driving forces behind The Beecher’s Foundation. Dedicated to education, advocacy, and a willingness to tackle the toughest challenges concerning the foods we eat, the Foundation is helping build a better food future for all.
