Watch: What makes a Wagyu farm so special?

We go behind the scenes on a Wagyu farm in Kyoto to find out why these cattle are so prized in Japan.

We also find out about the rules and regulations that govern Wagyu cattle and discover why these are so closely followed by Japanese farmers.

Wagyu cattle are raised by breeders in special ventilated barns and the environment is key to producing the very best beef from these cattle.

They are fed a high-fibre diet including rice straw, maize and barley because to qualify for the highly sought after Wagyu mark, all cattle must be reared and fed according to very strict guidelines.

Finally we see the finished product - on sale and ready to enjoy.
