Tochigi "Wagyu" Beef
Tochigi Wagyu is the brand name of the super-high-quality beef from the Japanese Black Cattle raised in Tochigi Prefecture. Calves from specific Tochigi Wagyu bloodlines are painstakingly raised, one by one, in a pure environment at specially designated farms. Beef from these cows is currently being exported to the United States.

Rice: "Koshihikari," "Nasuhikari"
A measure of the purity of the water in the Kinugawa, Nakagawa, and Watarasegawa Rivers flowing from the Nikko and Nasu mountains is the presence of wildlife, especially sweetfish, which is said to live only in very clean water. As the water flows to the center of the prefecture it creates a large and fertile plain, which is home to many organic farms. The rice grown in this fertile plain with abundant pure water is known as "Tochigi Rice."
