The Takenotani Tsuru Ushi, dating back to 1830, is Japan's oldest distinguished cattle lineage (Tsuru-ushi) and a progenitor of modern Wagyu.
Because it struggled to find favor in a market that prioritizes heavily marbled meat, its population once dwindled to the brink of extinction.
Today, with fewer than 100 purebreds left in the entire country and an extremely limited annual production, it is known as the "Legendary Wagyu" for its profound historical value and incredible rarity.The Takenotani Tsuru Ushi, dating back to 1830, is Japan\\\\\\\'s oldest distinguished cattle lineage (Tsuru-ushi) and a progenitor of modern Wagyu.
