Kitayama Farms – Delicious Philippine Raised Wagyu Beef

Literally translating to Japanese cow, wagyu is normally seen in the more high end steak shops (like Wagyu Stone Grill), and commands a relatively high price depending on the grade of marbling (probably due to import taxes and other duties).

When you think about it, though, no one is stopping anyone from getting some of these bovines and raised in the luscious lands of the Philippines, and this is what the people from Kitayama Farms have done.

Hailing from the rich lands of the Bukidnon province in Mindanao, Kitayama Farms’ cattle frolick around the field and stay merry until the ultimate sacrifice is done for the enjoyment of the Philippine food consuming public.

The good people of Kitayama farms have set up shop in Makati City, selling all things wagyu, and then some. First experience with them was when Mr. Delicious used some Kitayama Wagyu to make this glorious hunk of a corned beef that make every day a special moment.

And then Chef Him Uy de Baron of Nomama Quezon City used wagyu butt cheeks for his fusion beef ramen, and still retained softness with flavor.

It was high time to get some for personal use.

Detour: Lucky to get some great lessons when the owner was in the shop. To get great marbling, it’s not about how you raise the cattle, it’s about tracing the cattle’s lineage. And all this time we thought all you needed to do was have the cow lazy-away like how some humans turn into sedentary couch potatoes with chips and beer. Humans get their marbling that way, you’d think it would be the same with cows.

Oh, and there are other stuff in the meat shop, too! Like some English breakfast sausages, Carmen’s Artisanal Ice Cream, and Hitachino brand of beer (probably in partnership with Global Beer Exchange. Visit their shop for manly, no-wimps-allowed beers).

The end result of one visit to Kitayama Meat Shop.

Even as a sirloin, as long as you have sufficient marbling, and cooked Gordon Ramsay style (we tried our very best to replicate it), you will get taste worth crossing your eyes for (some friends loved it. Hope they weren’t just being polite).

1 inch thick cut of an 800 gram (Yes, 800 grams was just one piece. And we got two!) wagyu steak, partnered with mashed potatoes or some Crispy Salami Pasta. This is a great weekend treat.

Finally, a wagyu shop by the Filipino, for the world. Looking forward to getting more from this meat shop, and you should, too!
