"Wagyu (和牛) is a breed of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling, and produces a high percentage of oleaginous, unsaturated fat. Wagyu are known world wide for marbling characteristics. This improved marbling increases the eating quality of the meat; enhancing the flavor, tenderness and juiciness of the meat. The increased marbling improves the ratio of mono-unsaturated fats to polysaturated fats."
