Iga-ryu Ninja House photo

The ninja house is a simple farm dwelling, but has surprises, escape routes, hidden doors, places to hide swords, and the above traps and trickery.

Iga Beef: The Premium Wagyu from the Land of the Ninja

Iga Beef is a brand of premium Wagyu raised in the Iga region. It is said that during the Edo period, Iga ninja carried dried beef as preserved food, and this jerky is believed to be the origin of Iga Beef.

Only cattle that meet strict standards can be called “Iga Beef,” one of which is that the cows must be raised primarily in the Iga region. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, Iga offers a climate with sharp temperature differences—ideal for cattle fattening—and is blessed with pure, high-quality water. The area has long been recognized as a prime location for raising quality beef. About 80% of Iga Beef is consumed locally, earning it the nickname “phantom beef.”

Iga Beef is known for its perfect balance of marbling and lean meat, as well as its fine, tender texture. When you take a bite, the rich aroma and deep flavor spread in your mouth, followed by a mellow sweetness that melts gently on the tongue.
