Kagoshima Prefecture to Showcase Premium Wagyu, Tea, and Kurozu at Texas Restaurant Show

WaSho United LLC will represent the Kagoshima Prefectural Government at the 2026 Texas Restaurant Show, scheduled for July 12-13 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. The event, which expects more than 8,000 attendees and over 600 exhibitor booths, provides a platform for WaSho United to introduce Texas chefs, restaurateurs, retailers, and hospitality leaders to a curated selection of premium Japanese ingredients from Kagoshima Prefecture.

Kagoshima Prefecture is internationally recognized as one of Japan’s most celebrated food-producing regions, known for its tradition, innovation, and culinary excellence. At Booth #353, WaSho United will showcase award-winning Kagoshima Wagyu, authentic Japanese green tea and matcha, and traditional Japanese black vinegar, known as Kurozu.

Kagoshima Wagyu is produced in the prefecture that earned the Grand Champion title at Japan’s National Wagyu Competitive Exhibition for two consecutive competitions. The beef is known for extraordinary marbling, rich flavor, and unmatched tenderness, representing the highest standards of Japanese beef production. Texas chefs and restaurant operators can use Kagoshima Wagyu to elevate menus with one of Japan’s most prestigious culinary products.

The exhibit will also feature premium Japanese green tea and matcha from Kagoshima, one of Japan’s leading tea-growing regions. These teas are celebrated for their vibrant flavor, exceptional quality, and wellness benefits, with versatile applications for beverages, desserts, specialty drinks, and innovative menu creations.

Traditional Japanese black vinegar, or Kurozu, is a Kagoshima specialty naturally aged through a centuries-old fermentation process. Known for its depth, balance, umami, and digestive wellness benefits, Kurozu can be used in dressings, marinades, sauces, cocktails, and a wide range of culinary applications.

“We are honored to introduce these outstanding Kagoshima products to our friends throughout Texas,” said representatives of WaSho United LLC. “The Texas Restaurant Show gives us a wonderful opportunity to share the passion, tradition, and craftsmanship behind one of Japan’s most respected culinary regions with chefs, restaurateurs, retailers, and hospitality professionals who are always looking for something exceptional.”

Qualified restaurateurs, restaurant owners, foodservice operators, and hospitality business professionals can contact Mieko Ajiro in advance to request complimentary admission to the Texas Restaurant Show exhibits, allowing them to experience the latest products and trends while visiting Booth #353 to discover the flavors and craftsmanship of Kagoshima Prefecture.
