Sheep (Lamb / Mutton) is rich in flavor and nutrition which is why it is eaten world-wide. Lamb meat from baby/young sheep has mild sweet aroma which is perfect for grilling and roast. Mutton from grown sheep has depth of flavor and rich texture which is often used for stew and curry. These days, more people consider it as healthy food due to its high-protein and low-calories.
ALamb is baby sheep less than one year-old, which is tender and has less gamey-flavor/aroma. Mutton is grown sheep two year-old or older, often cooked as Jingisukan(Genghis Khan) which is marinated.

Best lamb chops in Japan
Always great quality. I fry them in a little oil with rosemary, and they’re delicious. I like them quite rare, and the flavour really stands out nicely.

Great for stews and soups
Really good quality for soups and stews. I made Welsh cawl, letting with vegetables it stew on a low heat for an hour, and it became beautifully tender., falling off the bone.
