Zenrich Wagyu Sets ASEAN Records for the Largest Annual Volume of Japanese Wagyu Imported

Zenrich Allied, a leading name in the premium Wagyu industry, has been officially recognized by ASEAN Records for achieving the Largest Annual Volume of Japanese Wagyu Imported in a Single Year. In 2024 alone, the company imported 600 Japanese Wagyu cattle, yielding a total of 192,000 kilograms of beef — equivalent to approximately 12.86 million slices at 15 grams per slice.

Established in 2015, Zenrich has remained steadfast in its singular mission: to deliver authentic Japanese Wagyu to Malaysia’s most discerning culinary establishments. The journey began when its founder, while studying in Japan, worked on a Wagyu farm — an experience that laid the foundation for the company’s deep industry knowledge and unwavering passion.

Zenrich sources directly from certified and ethical Japanese producers — many of whom are located in world-renowned regions like Miyazaki, Kagoshima, and Hokkaido. With full traceability from farm to table, Zenrich offers Halal-certified Wagyu (both Malaysian JAKIM and Japanese Halal standards), reinforcing its commitment to both religious compliance and international quality standards.

This ASEAN Records is a significant milestone that affirms Zenrich’s leadership in the region’s luxury food supply chain, as well as its dedication to sustainability, traceability, and excellence.

The event commemorating this achievement also marked the grand opening of Wagyu by La Moon in TTDI, Kuala Lumpur — an exclusive dining experience under the Zenrich brand, helmed by Chef Saburou Niitsu, a veteran of over 35 years in Japanese cuisine.

Distinguished guests present included:

“Wagyu is not just a delicacy—it is a philosophy. At Wagyu by La Moon, we honour centuries of Japanese culinary tradition with every slice. This restaurant is more than a dining space—it’s a cultural bridge connecting Japanese precision with Malaysian passion for excellence.” said by Chef Saburou Niitsu, Head Chef, Wagyu by La Moon
“Zenrich’s dedication to bringing authentic Japanese Wagyu to Malaysia symbolizes the growing ties between our two nations—not just economically, but culturally and gastronomically. We are proud to see Japanese quality embraced with such integrity in the Malaysian market.” said Mr. Daisuke Nihei, Minister Counsellor, Embassy of Japan in Malaysia
“Zenrich’s achievement reflects how Malaysia can become a hub for premium food imports while maintaining strong food safety, halal compliance, and supply chain integrity. This milestone is a shining example of what can be accomplished through vision, discipline, and trusted global partnerships.” said YB Datuk Arthur Joseph Kurup, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Security
“This ASEAN Record is more than just an achievement — it is a reflection of years of hard work, consistency, and trust from all our partners and clients,” said Mr. Liven Chong, Director of Zenrich Wagyu.
