Why Olive Wagyu Is So Expensive | So Expensive Food | Insider Business

[@東洋オリーブ]

We, Toyo Olive, are the Japan's small company who dry the olive pomace and harvest the olives that appear in this video. Thanks to Masaki Ishii, the waste discharged from the factory has become valuable feed, and is now circulating around Shodoshima island. Everyone who watched this video, Please come to Japan to eat Olive Wagyu beef someday! Thank you! ARIGATO!

[@LindseyLouWho]

Thank you for showing the world your craft and trade and dedication. My family is planning a visit to Japan in a few years and this is now a TOP priority as my husband greatly enjoys the best beef. Your role in this process is fascinating and I hope to support your local economy soon. Love from the United States (me) and Colombia (my husband). Domo Arigatou!

I live in Kagawa Prefecture and seen the Olive field scene several times, breathtaking as always. Despite living in Oliveland I haven’t tasted the famous Olive Beef because it’s expensive. So far I’ve eaten Olive Hamachi (Yellowfin Tuna) and it is exquisite. Olive Hamachi consumes dried olive leaves before consumption. Kagawa is one of the lesser known prefectures but we have great Udon noodles, lots of Bonsai, of course Olives and world class quality Gloves (which where I am working).

[@MADuranDude777]

I used to live in Kagawa Prefecture, and sadly I just found out about this, but i might visit there again someday just to try the Olive wagyu on the spot. Oh and you are definitely correct about the Bonsai, there were lots and lots of Bonsai in one of the houses I passed by. The udon is 💯💯
