ROOTED IN TRADITION, DRIVEN BY EXCELLENCE
OUR HISTORY AND VALUES GUIDE EVERY STEP OF OUR JOURNEY TO PRODUCE WORLD-CLASS AMERICAN WAGYU
-
At Sakura Wagyu Farms, our passion for producing the highest-quality American Wagyu beef is rooted in tradition, innovation, and unwavering values. Blending authentic Japanese techniques with modern farming, we craft exceptional beef that brings people together and elevates every dining experience.
From our humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in Wagyu, our journey is driven by a deep respect for the craft and a commitment to sharing it with others.

Wagyu beef has deep roots in Japan, where cattle were selectively bred for centuries to enhance intramuscular marbling and deliver unmatched tenderness and flavor. Fullblood Japanese Wagyu, known for their signature snowflake marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture, are genetically distinct—tracing 100% back to Japanese lineage with no crossbreeding.
After Japan declared Wagyu a national treasure and ceased live exports in 1997, Fullblood genetics became extremely rare outside the country. Unlike most American Wagyu producers who primarily focus on F1 cattle (50% Wagyu, 50% Angus), Sakura Wagyu Farms sets itself apart by operating both an F1 program and a dedicated American Tajima Fullblood program built exclusively on verified 100% Japanese genetics. This commitment to genetic purity allows us to preserve the original traits that make Wagyu truly exceptional, from consistent marbling to refined texture and flavor.

When you choose Sakura Wagyu Farms, you support family farms who pride themselves on sustainable, holistic wagyu. Our cattle are raised without hormones or antibiotics, thriving on a healthy vegetarian diet developed by experts in nutrition and meat production. Our farms provide low stress environments that not only improve the cattle’s quality of life but also result in the superior flavor Sakura Wagyu is known for.
-
We constantly strive to improve our product. That’s why some of the most experienced individuals in genetics, cow-calf production and nutrition came together to produce the highest quality American Wagyu Beef that can stand on its own against its Japanese comparison. In fact, Sakura utilizes the highest percentage of full-blood wagyu genetics America has developed.

Sakura Wagyu delivers a premium, consistent product tailored for discerning chefs and global foodservice operators. Unlike most American producers focused solely on F1 crossbreds, we offer both high-quality F1 and rare Fullblood Wagyu sourced from 100% Japanese genetics. The result is exceptional marbling, a rich buttery flavor, and a melt-in-your-mouth texture that elevates every dish. Grading two levels above USDA Prime, Sakura Wagyu ensures a standout, marbelicious™ experience that keeps guests returning.
