National Wagyu Day is observed worldwide on June 21, celebrating the exquisite taste and tenderness of Wagyu beef. This holiday was launched in 2022 by steak connoisseur Serve Haddadin, coinciding with his birthday. Wagyu beef, derived from four principal Japanese cattle breeds, is renowned for its marbling, which enhances its flavor and tenderness. Historically, Japanese cattle were primarily used for draft purposes until the mid-19th century when meat consumption began to rise under Western influence. The Japanese government later initiated a breeding program to improve beef quality, leading to the modern Wagyu cattle we know today. On this day, enthusiasts are encouraged to enjoy a meal featuring Wagyu beef, either at a restaurant or by cooking it at home, while sharing their experiences on social media with the hashtag #NationalWagyuDay.
