Raised in the great nature of Kumamoto — a healthy, delicious pork overflowing with the benefits of fulvic acid.
Tontei (Pork Emperor), nurtured in the rich nature of Yamaga City, Kumamoto Prefecture, is a brand pork that Oda Livestock Co., Ltd. handles with devoted care. The defining feature is the unique rearing method that can only be born here — of daily giving water with fulvic acid culture solution — possessing antioxidant action — dissolved in it. Growing with higher antioxidant value than standard pigs — umami and richness components such as inosinic acid and oleic acid are richly accumulated — leading to a fulfilling meat quality. Furthermore, by carefully giving heat-treated feed — meticulous consideration for hygiene is also paid — the producer’s sincere stance of delivering safe, reliable pork to the table appears throughout. The meat of Tontei has minimal characteristic pork off-odor — the greatest appeal of being able to directly enjoy the inherent sweetness and umami of the ingredient. The finely-grained muscle fibers and elegant sweetness of the fat demonstrate true value best in simple preparations. In shabu-shabu — each time the thinly-sliced meat passes through the hot water, umami gently seeps out — a deeply flavorful taste where the richness of the fat and the sweetness of the lean harmonize exquisitely can be enjoyed. At Oda Livestock, a circular agriculture is practiced of fermenting excrement from the livestock barns to produce fulvic acid culture solution and cultured soil — a sustainable production system organically connecting soil-making and pig farming is in place. Farm HACCP and JGAP obtained for thoroughgoing food safety management — quality uniformity also secured by brand standards. Tontei — where Kumamoto’s great nature and the producer’s enthusiasm and wisdom are concentrated — enriches many tables as a powerhouse brand pork representing Kyushu.
