World Steak Challenge 2026

NIKUJILLE once again at the World Steak Challenge

The World Steak Challenge is an international competition that brings together beef producers from around the world to showcase the quality of their beef and compete across different categories.

For NIKUJILLE and our family’s farm in Miyazaki, the competition provides an opportunity to showcase Arita Wagyu internationally and have its quality recognised alongside producers from around the world.

This year, Arita Wagyu Co., from our family’s farm in Miyazaki, has been selected as a finalist in the Large Producer category at the World Steak Challenge. 🥩

We’re also pleased to see Hobo Farm Co., the producer behind Kanade Wagyu, named a finalist in the Small Producer category.

The 2026 finalist selection follows an exceptional result at the World Steak Challenge 2025, held in London, United Kingdom, in November 2025.

Arita Wagyu achieved First Place in the Producer Category and Gold in the Wagyu Category, marking a significant achievement for our family and everyone involved in producing our Wagyu.

With Arita Wagyu returning as a finalist in 2026, we’re proud to continue building on last year’s achievement and representing Japanese Wagyu among producers from around the world.

The World Steak Challenge 2026 awards will take place in Amsterdam on September 10.
