Raised in the clear air of the highlands in large, open pens — a stress-free Saga SPF brand pork of outstanding quality.
Saga Tenzan Kogen Ton (Saga Tenzan Highland Pork), carefully raised at Tenzan Farm — spread at approximately 600 meters above sea level at the foot of Tenzan Mountain in Saga Prefecture — is a committed brand pork making maximum use of the cool highland natural environment. Raised freely in a barn where fresh mountain air circulates at a climate approximately 5°C lower than flatland — with meticulous care for a spacious rearing environment creating the brand’s individuality. The defining feature of this farm is the adoption of ‘large group pen rearing’ where approximately 420 pigs can move freely in a wide barn without partitions. By spending in a lively environment that is difficult to receive stress, pigs grow healthily — and taut, high-quality meat is nurtured. Also, the latest technology of judging shipping timing while automatically measuring body weight without the pigs noticing is introduced — while minimizing stress on the pigs, a system that always allows shipping in the best condition is arranged. Furthermore, as an SPF pig free of 5 specific diseases including Aujeszky’s disease and atrophic rhinitis — the point of being produced at a Japan SPF Pig Association certified farm is also a major peace of mind. Because health management is thoroughly maintained — the inherent natural umami of pork can be drawn out without remainder. Managed under a perfect system of Farm HACCP and JGAP obtained — delivered to tables nationwide as safe, reliable pork. Please do fully savor the Saga Tenzan Highland Pork — produced by the cool highland climate and a stress-free rearing environment.
