For the first time in Canada, Aburi Restaurants Canada’s Miku in Vancouver and the Iwate Prefecture of Japan are presenting an exclusive dining experience featuring the most award-winning wagyu from Japan: Iwate Gyu (Iwate A5 Wagyu). Known as the “pinnacle of Japanese beef,” you, too, can enjoy Miku’s Iwate A5 Wagyu Kaiseki, a specially curated seven-course menu by executive chef Kazuhiro Hayashi, from March 9 to 19, by reserving a table!
There are more than 200 brands of wagyu in Japan and Iwate Gyu is Japan’s highest-grade brand of beef. It has won the top prize at the Tokyo Meat Market 11 times, the most of any region in the country. Most importantly, Iwate Gyu is known for their circular farming practices, a method where multiple crops, such as rice, and livestock are raised together on small farms. The leftovers from growing one are used to feed the others. With its natural crystalline water, fresh air, and dedicated farmers, the cattle grow strong in the healthiest of environments and therefore produce the finest quality of wagyu beef.
“Iwate Gyu is simply the most prestigious and exquisite wagyu I have ever tasted, especially because of its perfect balance between umami and sweetness,” explains Kazuhiro Hayashi, executive chef at Miku. “For the menu, we definitely wanted to highlight the natural flavours of the wagyu with ingredients that complement the melt-in-your-mouth nature of the beef.”
Miku’s Iwate A5 Wagyu Kaiseki menu is $225 per person and features seven courses, along with a complimentary welcome taste of Nanbu Bjin Shinpaku Sake, which will also be available by the glass and by the bottle. —Vita Daily
