Only the finest sows, carefully selected — a premium Miyazaki brand pork born at the foot of the Kirishima mountains.
Otome Buta (Maiden Pork), raised on the magnificent Kirishima mountain foothills of Ebino City, Miyazaki Prefecture, is — true to its name — a brand pork strictly selecting only finely-grained, premium female pigs. Ebino City — blessed with rich nature — has clear water and clean air spreading — an optimal land for livestock farming, a pork that can only be born in this environment. The pigs grown freely on vast farms have both a healthy physique and high meat quality. A designated compound feed utilizing Ebino rice and sweet potato shochu lees is used for the feed — continuing commitment to a rearing environment that does not put unnecessary stress on the pigs. As a result, the meat of Otome Buta has fine fibers — with soft texture as one of the characteristics. The elegant sweet fat unique to female pigs — with a moist mouthfeel and clean aftertaste — realizing a non-tiring deliciousness. Minimal off-odor common to standard pork — not easily hardening even after heating — also an appeal that suits any preparation. By being raised slowly over approximately 185 days in Miyazaki Prefecture’s warm climate and blessed natural environment — the rich umami and excellent meat quality is drawn out. Rext Co., Ltd. — the managing entity — has acquired both Farm HACCP and JGAP — strictly quality-managed under a safe, reliable production system. ‘Otome Buta’ — with trademark registration — is a specialty that producers proud of their production area continue to commit to. Please do taste at least once this brand pork — sought by those seeking premium pork from daily tables to special occasion hospitality preparations.
