The Japan Livestock Products Export Promotion Council (J-LEC) invited Kari Underly, a renowned meat industry expert and founder of AAMP partner Range Meat Academy, to play an integral role in promoting Japanese Wagyu beef to international markets.

Her journey began in June at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago, where Kari Underly met with executives from Japan's Ministry of Agriculture. Following this successful meeting, the team from Japan invited Kari to visit Japan in January. She will tour the country's renowned production and processing sites for Japanese Wagyu beef, gaining an in-depth understanding of its exceptional quality and artisanal production techniques.

The program, facilitated by J-LEC, is part of a strategic initiative to expand the global presence of Japanese Wagyu beef, including increasing its availability in the United States. J-LEC aims to deepen international appreciation for Wagyu's superior quality and craftsmanship while encouraging more businesses to incorporate it into their offerings.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to witness firsthand the care, precision, and tradition that goes into producing Japanese Wagyu beef," said Kari Underly. "This experience will allow me to learn more about this world-class product and inspire me to share its story with global markets."

Kari Underly's involvement underscores the growing interest in authentic Japanese Wagyu beef. It highlights the collaborative efforts between Japan and the United States to bring this exquisite culinary experience to a broader audience.
