Yonezawa Beef (米沢牛) is a premium Wagyu Beef brand of Japanese black cattle which is raised in Yonezawa area in Yamagata Prefecture. Yonezawa Beef is often considered as one of the three greatest Wagyu Beefs in Japan along with Kobe Beef and Matsusaka Beef, which are two most famous Wagyu Beef brands.
