Raised in Fukuoka — a brand pork of overflowing umami, drawn out through the work of wheat and lactic acid bacteria.
Hakata Mochi Buta (Hakata Sticky Pork) is a brand pork carefully nurtured at designated farms within Fukuoka Prefecture. In addition to uniform, well-endowed meat quality from three-breed crossing — the committed rearing method of giving abundant wheat in the finishing stage feed and adding lactic acid bacteria produces the rich flavor unique to this brand. Through the synergistic effect of dietary fiber in wheat and lactic acid bacteria, the pig’s gut environment is firmly regulated — finishing as a pork with a clean, refreshing flavor with no off-odor, and outstanding umami spreading throughout the mouth with every chew. The fat has a non-cloying, clean texture — harmony with the lean is also excellent — with an elegant finish even in the aftertaste after eating. In any preparation including stir-fry, hot pot, and grill — naturally compatible, drawing out the character of each preparation while firmly demonstrating its presence as pork. As the name ‘mochi’ (sticky/springy) indicates — the moist, elastic meat quality does not easily harden even when cooled — very useful as a lunchbox side dish and make-ahead preparations as well. Management is handled entirely by JA Zen-Noh Meat Foods Co., Ltd. Kyushu Sales Headquarters — consistent quality management from rearing through distribution is thoroughly maintained. Acquiring both Farm HACCP and JGAP certifications — with thoroughgoing food safety initiatives as well — as a highly reliable Fukuoka-born brand pork with trademark registration and brand standards in place — 18,000 head are delivered nationwide annually. Please do fully savor Hakata Mochi Buta — raised receiving the full bounty of Kyushu’s rich earth.
