YAZAWA MEAT JOURNAL / BRAND STORY

A Mark of Authenticity.
Diamond YAZAWA.

October 29, 2026 — Meat Day.

— Diamond YAZAWA wooden sign

The diamond-shaped YAZAWA logo will appear at participating stores directly operated by YAZAWA Meat, a Japanese meat wholesaler.

Diamond YAZAWA is our new mark of a directly operated store.

Look for it on your next visit.

— Diamond YAZAWA BEEF is also a mark of authenticity.

01 / YAZAWA STORY

Why introduce a mark for our directly operated stores?

As the YAZAWA name becomes more familiar, it is not always easy to tell which stores are operated directly by YAZAWA Meat.

We are introducing Diamond YAZAWA as a clear, recognizable mark of participating stores directly operated by YAZAWA Meat.

It is a new symbol to help you choose YAZAWA-brand stores with confidence.

— Our expertise in selecting exceptional meat

02 / YAZAWA STORY

YAZAWA’s craft began with meat wholesaling

YAZAWA Meat began in 2007 as a wholesaler specializing in Japanese Black Wagyu.

At the heart of our work is a simple wish:

“To share the true deliciousness of Japanese Black Wagyu with as many people as possible.”

That belief continues to guide us.

Selecting exceptional meat.

Finding the right way to prepare each cut.

Refining every dish, down to the last detail.

This dedication has given rise to a wide range of YAZAWA brands, serving hamburg steaks, steaks, yakiniku, shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, hamburgers, tonkatsu and more.

Our restaurants take many forms, but they share the same foundation.

Bringing you the full flavor of exceptional meat.

Diamond YAZAWA also represents this commitment shared by every YAZAWA brand.

03 / YAZAWA STORY

Launching together on October 29 — Meat Day

The new wooden signs are shaped like Diamond YAZAWA.

They will be displayed at participating directly operated stores from October 29, 2026 — Meat Day in Japan.

But we wanted this to be more than a sign that says, “This store is directly operated by us.”

We hope it becomes one more small pleasure to look forward to when you visit.

That thought is part of the design, too.

04 / YAZAWA STORY

Somewhere in the store, Diamond YAZAWA awaits

Next time you visit, take a moment to look for Diamond YAZAWA.

It might be by the entrance.

It might be somewhere inside.

Or you might find it in an unexpected place.

“There it is.”

We hope that little discovery becomes part of the pleasure of experiencing YAZAWA.
