about

Wagyu Direct

Wagyu Direct delivers pasture-reared Wagyu beef direct from the farm to your home in the Cape Peninsula and surrounding Winelands.

Whilst we don’t massage our Wagyu cattle and feed them beer, we do ensure that they are free to roam, they graze on the best grassland that the highveld has on offer, they drink fresh borehole water naturally filtered deep in the bowels of the Free State sandstone and pumped to the surface using renewable wind energy.

Our Wagyu beef is free of hormones and routine antibiotics.

about

Wagyu Beef

‘Wagyu’ refers to all Japanese beef cattle, where ‘Wa’ means Japanese and ‘gyu’ means cow. In most countries outside of Japan, Wagyu can refer to any of the four Japanese beef breeds (Shorthorn, Black, Poll and Brown) that have either been crossbred with other cattle breeds at varying degrees or are purebred Wagyu cattle.

This famous breed is best known for its ability to marble. Marbling is the fine, web-like intramuscular fat found in premium quality beef, and no other breed has a genetic disposition to marbling quite like Wagyu. Unlike any other breed, Wagyu fat melts at room temperature and not only when exposed to cooking heat.

Wagyu Beef Is Healthier, Naturally. Wagyu cattle naturally contains more Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, as well as more monounsaturated fatty acids (the good fat) than other beef. The percentage of fatty acids affect the texture and ‘feel’ of food in the mouth, particularly in meats. This is one of the genetic benefits of the Wagyu breed and one of the reasons why Wagyu beef is regarded as the finest, most exclusive beef produced in the world

Wagyu Beef Is Healthier, Naturally. Research shows that the beef from long-fed Wagyu cattle naturally contains more Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, as well as more monounsaturated fatty acids (the good fat) than other beef. The percentage of fatty acids affect the texture and ‘feel’ of food in the mouth, particularly in meats. This is one of the genetic benefits of the Wagyu breed and one of the reasons why Wagyu beef is regarded as the finest, most exclusive beef produced in the world.

Testimonials

What our clients say

“Melt in your mouth. Support a local business and try this delicious, high quality Wagyu. Reared on the Free State veld I’m told, no hormones or antibiotics or any of that stuff. No cheating with added cereals, just 100% healthy beef.” 

Aaron Hitchens (Stellenbosch)

“Wagyu is one of the most succulent and flavour-filled meats I've ever eaten. It is absolutely delicious. The other good thing about it is that, despite it costing more than regular beef cuts, its richness means we eat smaller portions.” 

Tracy Hennessy (Kenilworth, Cape Town)

Ek braai omtrent elke naweek vir meer as dertig jaar nou, en ek het nooit iets soos hierdie Wagyu steaks geproë nie. Dis ongelooflik sappig en “tender” soos die Engelse sé. En die ouens lewer af, tot op my stoep! 

Johan Coetzee (Durbanville)

“A declaration from burger lovers: “The very best burgers, ever!” Perfect texture and taste with juicy yum.  And, no fillers. The right amount of salt and pepper. Perfect for a mid-week braai or pan-grilled gourmet burger offering for fussy dinner guests.  

Sally Bingham (Constantia, Cape Town)
