Company Profile
Japanese Meat Processing Expertise for Global Markets
KOWA BUSSAN offers more than just Wagyu export. We also share the advanced meat-processing, packaging, and freezing expertise refined in Japan's premium beef industry with our overseas partners. The true value of Wagyu is determined in the finishing stages after slaughter and deboning.
We provide the following four-step know-how as an integrated solution to domestic and international partners.
STEP 01
Meat Processing / Trimming
精肉加工
Precise cutting and trimming tailored to the destination market and end use (steak, yakiniku, shabu-shabu, etc.). Japanese craftsmanship maximizes the commercial value extracted from each carcass.

STEP 02
Vacuum & Skin Packaging
真空パック / スキンパック
Skin Pack vacuum-seals the meat to its shape, minimizing drip loss and extending shelf life — ideal for retail. Barrier shrink bags handle large wholesale cuts with high-barrier protection for the next hot-water shrink step.
STEP 03
Hot-Water Shrink Tunnel
湯どおしシュリンカー
Vacuum-sealed product is briefly immersed in ~80°C hot water, causing the film to fully conform to the meat. Eliminates air gaps, reduces oxidation, provides surface sanitization, and decreases packaging damage risk during transport.
STEP 04
Blast / Quick Freezing
急速冷凍
Rapidly passes through the maximum ice-crystal formation zone (-1°C to -5°C) within 30 minutes. Microscopic ice crystals preserve texture, flavor, and nutrition — ensuring Wagyu quality survives long-distance international shipping.

These four steps function as a continuous, integrated workflow — only together do they deliver their full value.
KOWA BUSSAN supports overseas partners not only in sourcing Japanese Wagyu, but also in designing and upgrading their own in-country processing operations. If you are establishing a Wagyu processing facility abroad or looking to upgrade your existing line, please contact us.
