Nurtured in the land of Hamamatsu — a brand pork of premium fat and smooth, silky meat quality that immediately captivates.
Topia Hamamatsu Pork is a brand pork from Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture — managed by JA Topia Hamamatsu. Hamamatsu City is a land where the pig farming industry has been rooted since ancient times — even today many farmers work on pig rearing with pride. The defining feature of this brand is the thoroughgoing quality management system at certified farms. A veterinarian provides regular guidance — carefully supporting the pig’s rearing environment from both hygiene and health management perspectives. The brand standards stipulate that wheat is blended at 5–10%+ in the finishing stage — this wheat feeding contributes to improvement of pork meat quality. The breed is a three-breed cross — Landrace × Large Yorkshire sow crossed with Duroc male — an ideal composition combining the advantages of each breed. The meat grain is very fine — when placed on the tongue, the smoothness stands out vividly. The fat is white, firmly taut, and holds an elegant sweetness. In any preparation including stir-fry, grill, and braised dishes — the inherent umami is fully demonstrated — valuable across a wide range of scenes from household tables to restaurants. Pork raised carefully over approximately 190 days — approximately 15,000 head are delivered annually to regional consumers through Hamamatsu City Meat Market. The establishment of brand standards dates back to 2008 — the trust built by consistently maintaining quality standards over many years is the great strength of this brand. Topia Hamamatsu Pork — which has continued to support Hamamatsu’s food culture — is a brand pork unique to this land in which the spirit of local production for local consumption lives. Please do savor the harmony of its premium fat and smooth meat quality.
