*Image Tango Kingdom Brewery Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yasaka-cho, Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture; President and CEO: Masaki Nakagawa) is a member of the Pasona Group and operates a regional trading company that processes, sells, and develops sales channels for specialty products from the Tango region. With the cooperation of JA Zen-Noh Kyoto, we will begin offering Kyoto Prefecture’s first “recycling-oriented” branded Wagyu beef, “Kyoto Meat – Kohaku Wagyu”, which uses beer lees as feed, starting Friday, November 1st. As the government works to reduce “food loss,” business-related food loss excluding households in FY2023 is 2.79 million tons, a significant decrease from FY2000 (5.47 million tons), but further efforts are needed. Expected to be strengthened. Tango Kingdom Brewery is a regional trading company that develops sales channels for locally produced agricultural products and processed products, including TANGO KINGDOM Beer(R), a craft beer that uses Koshihikari rice grown in Tango as an adjunct ingredient. We are promoting 6th
industrialization. The new brand of Wagyu beef “Kyo no Meat ~ Kohaku Wagyu ~” newly offered by Tango Kingdom Brewery uses all of the approximately 36 tons of beer dregs produced throughout the year during the manufacturing process of “TANGO KINGDOM Beer (R)” as feed. This will lead to the effective use of food residue. In addition, by feeding beer grains during the fattening period that are highly palatable to cows, rich in dietary fiber, and with a good balance of amino acids, we can increase feed intake and produce well-grown, high-quality cows. In the future, in addition to hometown tax payments in Kyotango City and Kyoto Prefecture, we aim to introduce the system at restaurants, hotels, etc. in Japan and overseas. Through this initiative, Tango Kingdom Brewery will contribute to reducing food loss, develop new regional specialties, expand sales channels both domestically and internationally, and contribute to the revitalization of industry in the Tango region. ■Branded Wagyu beef “Kyoto meat ~Kohaku Wagyu~” Overview Now available : Friday, November 1, 2024 Variety : Japanese black breed Production area : Made in Kyoto Prefecture Features : ・Contributing to the effective use of food residue by turning beer lees generated during the manufacturing process of “TANGO KINGDOM Beer(R)” into feed ・Beer lees, which is rich in dietary fiber and has a good balance of amino acids, is highly palatable to cattle, and by increasing feed intake, it produces well-grown, high-quality cattle Contact us : Tango Kingdom Brewery Co., Ltd.
