Washugyu (和州牛) refers to a breed of cattle that is cross-bred between the Japanese Black Wagyu (known for Kobe beef) and the American Black Angus. It has more marbling than regular beef, and has a unique flavor. It has gained popularity over the years and is now more commonly found. For those living in the New York/New Jersey areas, you can find it for sale at Japan Premium Beef in the East Village area and Mitsuwa Marketplace at Edgewater, NJ.
