Did you know there are different types of Wagyu? In this Meat Dudes Podcast episode, we sit down with Steve Cottrell of Legendary Akaushi to talk about the rise of Akaushi Wagyu—also known as the Japanese Red.

Most Wagyu in the U.S. comes from the Japanese Black breed, but Akaushi is gaining momentum for its unique genetics, flavor, and health benefits. Steve breaks down why he’s such a passionate fan of Akaushi, how it differs from Japanese Black, and why both breeds have a place on the table.

This episode will leave you hungry to taste the difference and more excited than ever about the diversity of Wagyu beef.
