LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers and S Foods, Inc. have announced a partnership agreement that will include a “Japanese WAGYU Days” activation scheduled for September 4–6, during the Dodgers’ home series against the Washington Nationals.
Over three consecutive days, guests in the exclusive Dugout Club will experience pregame tastings featuring Kobe Beef and Ozaki Beef — two of Japan’s most celebrated premium branded beef designations. Tastings will feature Ozaki Beef on September 4, Kobe Beef on September 5, and other Japanese wagyu on September 6. Stadium-wide branding will appear across digital signage and DodgerVision throughout the series.
“We are very happy to announce our partnership with S Foods,” said Lon Rosen, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, Los Angeles Dodgers. “Their tradition of excellence and success resonates with the Dodgers’ own ambitions, and we are pleased to help share the S Foods story to our fans everywhere.”
Headquartered in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture, S Foods is a leading Japanese meat processing and distribution company with a distinguished track record in premium wagyu. The company is a core member of the Kobe Beef supply chain and has long been committed to promoting Japanese branded beef in international markets. The Japanese Wagyu World Auction, co-organized by S Foods, is an annual event connecting global buyers with Japan’s finest wagyu producers.
“Kobe Beef carries centuries of Japanese craftsmanship in every cut,” said Shinnosuke Murakami, President & CEO, S Foods Inc. “The Tajima cattle of Hyogo Prefecture are the result of generations of meticulous care — a living heritage that very few people outside Japan have had the chance to experience. Partnering with the Los Angeles Dodgers gives us the opportunity to share that story with the world, at one of the greatest stages in American sports.”
