In today's discussion, we will be looking at the question: "Is Kosher Wagyu Real Wagyu Cattle?" Well, the answer is yes; kosher wagyu is real wagyu cattle raised domestically in the United States. It may come as a surprise to some, but any type of cattle from any region of the world has the potential to be deemed kosher based on a set of criteria evaluated by a rabbi.

Why are Wagyu cattle so unique?

Wagyu are known for their insane marbling which results in a rich and buttery flavor profile that coats your mouth while eating. This is due to wagyu's genetic predisposition to store higher amounts of fat internally, creating a unique texture and flavor profile.

Can Wagyu be Kosher?

 

Wagyu cattle have the opportunity to be kosher just like any other breed of cattle. In order for them to be certified as kosher the esophagus and lungs must be clean of any abrasions which signify different diseases that the cow carried prior to slaughter. 

 

How Does a Rabbi Determine if Wagyu is Kosher?

A rabbi will evaluate various factors to determine if wagyu cattle meet kosher standards. This includes ensuring that the cattle are free from certain defects, that they are slaughtered in a specific way, and that the meat is processed according to kosher guidelines.
