Fukubuta

Raised in the land of Mount Akagi’s foothills — a chosen meat that has passed through the most rigorous quality standards to reach you.

Fukubuta (Lucky Pork) is a proud brand given only to premium pork, produced by Hayashi Farm spreading across the Akagi mountain foothills in Gunma Prefecture. Under the vast environment spanning Maebashi City, Kiryu City, Numata City, Shibukawa City, and Showa Village in Tone District, it is raised in a large-scale, integrated production system drawing on long-accumulated pig farming techniques and a self-owned feed factory. The defining feature of this brand is its strict certification standards. Not all pigs produced can bear the name ‘Fukubuta’ — only pork that simultaneously meets 3 quality standards of pure white and firmly firm fat, finely-grained marbling, and a deep, rich red meat color can be certified as ‘Fukubuta.’ This rigorous selection supports the rare value and trust of the brand. In rearing, the Three-Site Method is used to separate the breeding, development, and fattening processes — minimizing disease risk. A clean rearing environment is maintained through thorough All-In, All-Out practice, with stress on the pigs minimized to an absolute minimum through mechanization of temperature management, automated feeding, and excrement removal. The feed is a dedicated compound made at the self-owned factory, given fresh — realizing stable quality. Fukubuta raised in this way is a pork of exquisite harmony between the fineness of the marbling and the deep umami of the lean. In tonkatsu, the sweetness and umami of the fat stand out vividly; in shabu-shabu, the elegant sweetness of the fat can be savored to the fullest. Also enjoyable through dining at the farm-direct ‘Tonton Hiroba’ in Shibukawa City, Gunma, or mail order through the online shop.
