#NATIONALWAGYUDAY
In 2024, Steve Haddadin collaborated with the National Day Calendar® to officially proclaim National Wagyu Day a new food holiday that will be celebrated each year on June 21.
What is Wagyu?
Wagyu refers to four specific breeds of beef cattle that originated in Japan. These unique breeds produce a type of marbled beef that has an extreme tenderness and a rich, savory flavor when cooked. The tenderness of the meat creates a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
American Wagyu comes from crossbreeding full-blood Wagyu cattle with Angus. Here is what Steve says about the experience, "The spirit of National Wagyu Day is special. It welcomes those who are trying Wagyu for the first time and seasoned Wagyu connoisseurs, on Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, to celebrate the delicacy of Wagyu and to learn about its rigorous authentication process. That also means one thing, more time to enjoy Wagyu!"

There are many ways to celebrate National Wagyu Day and we are encouraging you to take advantage of this food holiday by participating in as many ways you can.
If you are a Wagyu expert, we recommend inviting someone who has never had Wagyu out to dinner so they can experience this delicious meat, too!
Head over to your local steakhouse that serves Japanese Wagyu and request a copy of the authentication certificate.
Pick up some authentic Wagyu from your local butcher and host a Wagyu tasting party.
Attend a Wagyu cooking class to learn the art of preparing Wagyu and a bit of history, too.
Research the history of the wagyu on your plate by the authentication certificate on the Japanese.
Visit the official Wagyu Day website to learn more about this delicious food holiday.
Interestingly, June 21 is also Steve's birthday, giving us more reason to celebrate this new food day and one a member of the National Day Calendar Founder Family!
