— About Us —

Eda Livestock
Co., Ltd.

Founded in 2023 by Tomoki Eda, the 4th-generation successor of Eda Livestock — a 70-year cattle-farming heritage in Miyazaki, Japan.

We raise Japanese Black Wagyu using circular feeding, zero antibiotics, and complete farm-to-table traceability — pioneering the world's first organic-certified Wagyu beef.

"Not the rank, but how they're raised. We believe true quality comes from the feed, the care, and the methods behind the meat."

— Why Eda Wagyu —

What Makes Us
Different.

Unlike conventional Wagyu brands defined by region (Kobe, Matsusaka, Omi), Eda Wagyu is defined by how the cattle are raised — our feed and farming practices.

This means your customers get a consistent, transparent product with a story they can verify — not just a geographic label.

ADDITIVE-FREE FARMS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY RARE IN JAPAN

Antibiotic & Hormone Free

Zero antibiotics, growth promoters, or hormones throughout the entire lifecycle. Fully verifiable.

Circular Feed System

Feed produced from our own compost cycle — not imported. Domestic feed in a yen-weak economy = structural cost advantage.

Grade A3+ · 28 Months+

Minimum A3 grade, 28+ months fattening. Grade and region specification available (region selection at premium).

World's First JAS-Certified Organic Wagyu

Premium EdaWagyu holds JAS Organic + EU Leaf equivalence — the first and only certified organic Kuroge Wagyu in the world.

Direct Export · JPY Settlement

No trading house intermediaries. Direct from farm, settled in Japanese Yen. Full traceability guaranteed.
