Snow Aged Wagyu Beef

Carnivello's Snow Aged Wagyu Beef

The Land

Snow Aged Wagyu comes exclusively from the Niigata prefecture located in North West Japan.

One of the coldest regions in Japan, the Niigata region can receive up to 8m of snow per year.

Yukimoro Aging

Snow Aged Wagyu is aged surrounded by snow in a Yukimuro room where the temperature fluctuates significantly less than in a traditional fridge

These rooms create a humid yet-cold environment

The Quality

The unique aging environment allows for the meat to tenderize as oxygen breaks down its fibers.
Snow Aged Wagyu is aged in high humidity rather than dry aging which creates a funkier taste and scent with a subtle and silky flavor.

Snow Aged Wagyu is harvested in Japan’s northern mountains. The cold climate and topography in the area create a tremendous amount of snowfall annually. Creative farmers use power of the cold to their advantage by creating a natural frigid room filled with snow. These Yukimuro rooms maintain a consistent temperature of 1-2 C for over 90% of the year which is significantly more consistent than the average fridge which ranges from -2 to 6 degrees C. This consistently low temperature and high humidity environment brings out a deliciously sweet and mellow flavor found exclusively in Snow Aged wagyu.

Snow Aged Wagyu is considered to be a delicacy in Japan and is highly sought after by gourmet chefs and food enthusiasts. Because of its unique aging process, Snow-aged Wagyu is more expensive than other types of Wagyu, but many people believe that it is worth the extra cost for its exceptional flavor and texture.
