akaushi beef austin

 

Looking to buy locally sourced Akaushi Beef in Austin, Texas? At Fresh Plus we like to keep our beef local. This is why we partnered with Heartbrand beef out of Flatonia, Tx.

Located just over 73 miles from Austin, Tx. Heartbrand Beef has the largest herd of certified Akaushi cattle in the United States. Akaushi ( Japanese Red Cattle ) is a breed of Wagyu beef that originated in Kumamoto, Japan.

Akaushi beef is similar to other well-known breeds of Wagyu beef such as Kobe beef. However, Kobe beef is produced exclusively in the Kobe region of Japan and contains specific bloodlines of Japanese black cattle.

Unlike Kobe beef, however, Akaushi beef was developed to withstand the challenging climate of Kumamoto. Making it, in my opinion, the perfect breed of wagyu beef to raise here in central Texas.

If you are looking to purchase akaushi beef near Austin Texas you can find it at any of our four Fresh Plus locations. At our Allandale neighborhood store, we have a full-service meat market and can custom-cut Akaushi steaks for you.

The Akaushi beef you will find at our Fresh Plus stores are all natural and free of antibiotics and Growth Promotants. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best tasting locally sourced natural Akaushi beef in Austin, Texas.

We believe the Akaushi beef produced by our friends at Heartbrand beef, is some of the best in the world. Heartbrand’s wagyu beef has earned a prime quality grade thanks to its intense marbling.

Because of this marbling, Akaushi beef tastes better than any other beef you will find in the Austin market. This marbling also shows that Akaushi beef has a high ratio of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

In fact, according to the American Akaushi Association, the marbling in Akaushi beef has a higher percentage of monounsaturated than any other beef in the United States. Akaushi beef is also a good source of healthy Omega-9 fatty acids. Additionally, these fatty acids are also what give Akaushi its unique buttery taste.
