(Cultural Night: “Taste Comparison of Hakata Wagyu Steak Experience”
Fukuoka Prefecture has the image of a consumer prefecture with a growing population and urbanization. However, an hour’s drive away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is still plenty of nature to be found, and the prefecture is also a producer of rice, wheat, fruit trees, vegetables, and other crops. In the southern part of the prefecture, the Chikugo Plain, which is fed by the abundant water of the Chikugo River, is a major producer of many agricultural products.
Hakata Wagyu is carefully raised against the backdrop of Fukuoka Prefecture’s rich natural environment. In particular, rice straw, which is produced after the rice harvest, is very important as feed for raising cattle. The abundance of rice straw available in Fukuoka Prefecture and the use of high-quality rice straw produced in the prefecture are the characteristics of Hakata Wagyu.)
