Comment by the reporter “Wagyu Olympics” Despite the good results, there are also problems[10/10 19:12]
Q. Kagoshima performed well locally.
(Reporter) “For Kagoshima, the rivals were Miyazaki, who last won the Prime Minister’s Award in the beef category.
Of the nine judging districts, the 1st, 4th and 5th divisions of the “bull section” compete for the body shape and good growth of the cattle, and the 8th section of the “beef section” competes for the quality of the meat of fattened cattle. I have 1 seat.
In addition, in addition to becoming the first place in the 6th district, which is called the horse-shaped flower that straddles the cattle and beef cattle departments, it also became the first in the new special district. constitution for high schools and agricultural schools It was the tournament most in line with the Gifu tournament of the year.
In addition, he won the Prime Minister’s Award for the first time in 30 years since the Oita Games in 1992 in the “father category”.
It can be said that they protected the pride of the “livestock kingdom” both in name and in reality. ”
Q. The venue was filled with good results at home.
(Reporter) “The results of the tournament were a great success for the people involved in Kagoshima, as they are directly linked to the region’s brand power.
So far the emphasis has been on the quantity of meat and the fat among the meats, i.e. the marbling, but with the diversification of consumer needs, this time the main feature of the competition has been the establishment of the 7th division, where quality of the fat will be competing. .
However, Kagoshima finished 5th in the 7th ward and won the Prime Minister’s Award in the “beef section” for the second consecutive time, falling behind Miyazaki, who is also called “specialty”.
The question remains of how to respond to consumer needs in the future. ”
(Wagyu Shinichi Sakamoto National Competitive Exhibition Prefecture Promoting Council, President) “Some people say it’s better to have as little fat as possible. Taste is one of the factors and we need to improve it.”
Q. How was the tournament organized?
(Reporter) “The Kyushu Economic Research Institute has estimated that this year’s event will attract approximately 290,000 visitors and will have an economic effect of approximately 4.36 billion yen. There appears to have been an economic effect.
However, on the other hand, there were many comments that “access to the venue was inconvenient” and “the waiting time to enter the jury venue was long”.
Kagoshima will have a big event called the National Athletic Meet next fall, so I think we need to leverage this experience in the future, how to run the event and create a system for receiving athletes. “
