Miyazaki Beef: Selected as the Best Beef in Japan

Miyazaki beef, chosen for its high-quality meat, is the tastiest in Japan. It is characterized by a moderate amount of fat and a tender meat quality. The city is home to many restaurants which only handle Miyazaki beef. These include yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurants where you can eat rare parts of beef and steak restaurants where you can heartily eat thickly sliced meat.
