Day in the Life of a Japanese Wagyu High School Student

Jan 26 (Paolo fromTOKYO) - A day in the life of a Japanese High School Student in Kagoshima. This is the Japanese High school Student's morning routine, day at school, after school activities and night routine.

This is his life in Japan in the countryside. He attends Soo High School, a Japanese public school nestled in Kagoshima’s tranquil and open countryside. In addition to standardized courses this Japanese high school offers five specialized academic programs. Soma, now a senior, has been enrolled in their concentrated Livestock Food Agriculture program, specializing in raising Japanese cattle, wagyu. Though relatively small in Japan, with around 360 students and 60 dedicated teachers, this school is a vibrant, laughter-filled community where friendships and dreams grow hand in hand. In Japan, students are assigned to groups with each group having their own homeroom where they spend most of their days. Teachers will visit this homeroom class to teach their specific subject, except for some elective classes like PE or farming which require different facilities. Naturally, students in the same homeroom class form closer bonds as they end up spending much of their day as well as year together.

The term "Wagyu" refers to four specific breeds of Japanese cattle, with black-haired Wagyu making up 95% of them. And Kagoshima alone produces 20% of the nation's black-haired Wagyu, celebrated for its unique tenderness, balanced marbling, and unmistakably rich flavor.

In fact, Kagoshima farmers have perfected their techniques to a point where they can produce the highest-quality A5 Wagyu beef, 50% of the time.
