Full Blood Akaushi Michigan Wagyu Beef
Some beef is special. This is something else entirely.
We're proud to bring 100% Full Blood Akaushi Wagyu from Great Lakes Wagyu Genetics in Stockbridge, Michigan to Sparrow Market. One of a few farms in the Country raising Full Blood Akaushi cattle, preserving one of the rarest Japanese Wagyu bloodlines found anywhere in North America.
Their herd traces directly back to the original Akaushi cattle imported from Japan in 1976. Those foundation genetics began with the legendary cattle Judo and Rueshaw, making this one of the most authentic Akaushi programs you'll find outside of Japan.
This isn't crossbred Wagyu or beef with a small percentage of Wagyu influence. This is 100% Full Blood Akaushi, raised with generations of carefully preserved Japanese genetics. That commitment shows up on every plate with incredible marbling, rich beef flavor, and tenderness that sets it apart from anything else.
Akaushi, or "Red Wagyu," is one of Japan's four original Wagyu breeds. It's known around the world for producing beautifully marbled beef with a deep, buttery flavor and an eating experience that's unforgettable.
What makes Akaushi even more unique is its natural fat profile. The beef is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and oleic acid, the same type of fat found in olive oil. It also contains higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and a more favorable balance of unsaturated fats than conventional beef, making it one of the most unique premium beef programs available today.
We're always looking for producers who are doing things the right way, and Great Lakes Wagyu Genetics is exactly that. They're preserving an extraordinary bloodline while raising exceptional cattle right here in Michigan.
Having access to beef like this is something we're incredibly proud of. From a small family farm in Stockbridge to our butcher counter in Ann Arbor, this is one of the rarest Wagyu programs you'll find anywhere in the Midwest.
Know your butcher. Know your farmer. Experience Full Blood Akaushi Wagyu at Sparrow Market.
