Raised in the sea-breeze-kissed land of Hokota, Ibaraki — an SPF pork of finely-grained, exquisite meat quality.
Yonekawa Shiokaze Pork (Sea Breeze Pork), produced by Yonekawa Pig Farm in Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is an SPF pig (specified pathogen-free) nurtured by the rich terroir of Hokota, close to the Pacific Ocean. SPF pigs are raised in a rigorously hygiene-managed, clean environment with no specified pathogens — consistently maintaining healthy, high-quality meat. Yonekawa Pig Farm has also obtained Farm HACCP certification, with devoted rearing practices pursuing food safety and reliability consistently from production through to shipment. The greatest appeal of Yonekawa Shiokaze Pork is its beautifully finely-grained, smooth meat quality. While a moderate, pleasant springiness is felt in the mouth, a moist, elegant texture spreads, bringing a smile to the face. The fat is sweet yet never cloying, with a clean, refreshing finish — a pleasant lingering impression that continues well after eating. By raising slowly over approximately 180 days on a dedicated compound feed, the umami of the meat is concentrated, drawing out the ingredient’s authentic flavor to the maximum. The pork’s authentic deliciousness is most vivid in simple preparations — especially in ginger pork stir-fry, the contrast of sweet fat and soft lean is exquisite. It is also utilized in a wide range of dishes from yakiniku to char siu, supported by many fans from professional chefs to household tables. A powerhouse brand pork representing Hokota — maintaining high quality management while sustaining annual shipments of approximately 4,000 head. Please do experience its premium flavor at least once.
