BRUSSELS (Kyodo) Gravenvoeren is a small Belgian village on the Netherlands border where in the middle of the green hills, 50 "wagyu" Japanese cows enjoy the view and the grass.

In a short time, Japanese beef has become a main attraction in top restaurants in London and New York.

"We have the space so why not use it in a useful way?" asked Wim Claessen of Chateau Altembrouck.
