Abstract
In this examination, we studied on the perception of taste of beef through sensory evaluation test. The beef tested was used long-term fattening wagyu, general wagyu and holstein beef. Texture of beef was no significant difference between men and women. Both men and women, beef was evaluated significantly higher in following order: long-term fattening wagyu beef > general wagyu beef > holstein beef in item of tenderness, elasticity and greasy. The other hand, juicy of beef was different between men and women. In men, juicy of beef was evaluated higher in following order: long-term fattening wagyu beef > general wagyu beef > holstein beef. In women, juicy of beef was no difference between the three kinds of beef. In the item of eating quality and comprehensive evaluation, both men and women, beef was evaluated significantly higher in following order: long-term fattening wagyu beef > general wagyu beef > holstein beef. In any age, beef was evaluated significantly higher in following order: long-term fattening wagyu beef > general wagyu beef > holstein beef in item of texture, eating quality and comprehensive evaluation. There was a tendency that the evaluation difference of beef becomes clear evaluation of the adult compared to young.
