ICON XB Wagyu
ICON XB Wagyu is truly an iconic and sensational tasting wagyu beef.
Japanese genetics, unmistakably Australian.
Founded on a full blood Wagyu herd in Tasmania, and crafted from the tapestry of our pristine ancient lands, ICON XB Wagyu explores and expresses the very best of our Australian environment.
The ICON philosophy has always been to create Wagyu that is reflective of the renowned Japanese bloodline and steeped in the essence of Australia. It is the result of collaborations with pioneering geneticists, cattle breeders and producers.
ICON was born from a place of passion and knowledge and it’s where innovation and inspiration converge with quality and process.

Superior genetics: The Wagyu F1 cattle are created by crossing full blood Wagyu sires (males) with high-performing dams (females). Wagyu sires are predominantly from the famous Tajima bloodline of the Kuroge Washu breed. This is preferred, as even within Japanese Black breeds, the Tajima bloodline is renowned for producing the highest percentage of, and best quality marbling. The genetics of the female cattle are equally important, with only the highest quality procured from long standing partnerships with the most experienced and innovative cattle breeders and producers in Australia.
Perfection takes time: ICON cattle are raised and fed over 20-24 months. Throughout this time, they graze and roam in open pastures, and feed on additional premium rations at their will. They are then transitioned and nurtured with a scientifically tailored feeding regime for the following 12 months. This healthy, slow-growth maturity is the key to producing the superior marbling, texture and flavour ICON is revered for.
Delicate marbling: Extensive, intricate marbling (MB4 - MB9+) so soft and creamy it melts in your hands. Rich, vibrant colour and meat density, bursting with the promise of intense, melt-in-the-mouth flavour. That’s the experience ICON consistently delivers delicious, succulent, and a dining experience to savour.
Deep respect: With partners who genuinely care about the welfare of the cattle. The production and processing facilities have been designed and developed to the highest environmental and animal welfare standards. All cattle are antibiotic free with a zero-use policy for added hormones growth promotants.
Award winning: ICON XB Wagyu is on an incredible winning streak. They secured a gold medal at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show and clinched the prestigious Grand Champion Beef of Show title at the 2023 Royal Queensland Awards. Additionally, ICON earned two gold medals and one silver medal at the 2023 Wagyu Branded Beef Competition, hosted by the Australian Wagyu Association.
