NEW YORK, October 31, 2023 (Newswire.com) - JFOODO, the Japan Food Product Overseas Promotion Center established by the Japanese government, is launching its 4th annual Japanese Wagyu campaign in the United States on Nov. 1, 2023. In partnership with restaurants, chefs and butchers in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco and e-commerce brands, this promotion will showcase the approachability of Japanese Wagyu, increasing the opportunities to include the world-famous ingredient in the celebration of everyday moments. JFOODO’s goal is to introduce more American diners to Japanese Wagyu and shift the perception that it is only for special occasions; diners can savor each moment with Japanese Wagyu. Running through Feb. 10, 2024, Japanese Wagyu will have expanded representation on dining menus in target cities and at exclusive lifestyle events, including the James Beard Foundation Gala for Good in New York City on November 3rd.
Partner restaurants range from fine dining establishments to trendy premium casual destinations and brunch hot spots. This campaign is highlighting talented chefs who are developing new experiences using a wide variety of Japanese Wagyu cuts and unique culinary applications. Diners are welcome to incorporate new lifestyle opportunities to enjoy this rich delicacy through innovative dishes and spins on the classics.
In addition to brick-and-mortar locations, three e-commerce brands - WAGYUMAN, Meat N' Bone and Pursuit Farms - are also participating in the campaign. Each of these lauded meat purveyors has put together dinner party meal kits and special gift packages that offer consumers the opportunity to bring the Japanese Wagyu experience into their own kitchens.
Beyond this year’s culinary and distribution partners, the campaign is expanding with in-person activations. Japanese Wagyu will be served at the upcoming James Beard Foundation Gala for Good. There are also plans for other meet-up events with Pearl Street Caviar, Parlor Social Club and Sucker Punch Sports Bar offering special Japanese Wagyu experiences.
