Japan tracks every single Wagyu cow's life history using a unique ten-digit number.

To prevent fraud and ensure safety, Japan uses an incredibly strict tracking system. Every single Wagyu cow is assigned its own unique ten-digit identification number. This system records the exact date the animal was born, where it lived, and its family tree. This means when you buy authentic Japanese Wagyu, you can trace the meat back to the exact farm and verify its purebred family history.
