[[Wagyu]] is the collective name for the four principal [[List of Japanese cattle breeds|Japanese breeds]] of [[beef cattle]]. All wagyū cattle derive from [[cross-breeding]] in the early twentieth century of native Japanese cattle with imported stock, mostly from Europe.
In several areas of Japan, Wagyu beef is shipped carrying area names. Some examples are [[Matsusaka beef]], [[Kobe beef]], [[Yonezawa beef]], [[Ōmi beef]], and [[Sanda, Hyōgo|Sanda]] beef. In recent years, Wagyu beef has increased in fat percentage due to a decrease in grazing and an increase in using feed, resulting in larger, fattier cattle.
