From Tokoname City, Aichi — an authentic brand pork with SPF certification, where Vitamin E protects every cut’s freshness from farm to table.
Chita Pork is a thoroughly committed brand pork produced by Chita Pig Co., Ltd., based in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture. In the nature-rich environment of Tokoname City, healthy pigs certified with Zen-Noh SPF (specific pathogen-free) certification are raised — with safety and reliability as the top priority. SPF pigs are kept in a clean environment free of specific pathogens — hygienic farm management with antibiotic dependence suppressed to the maximum is thoroughly maintained. Eco-feed is adopted for the feed — sustainable agriculture is practiced that also contributes to CO2 reduction through effective utilization of food residues. Using only plant-based ingredients for the feed, the pig’s inherently healthy growth is promoted — a clean flavor with no unnecessary off-odor is drawn out. The defining feature of Chita Pork is the abundant Vitamin E content. Vitamin E has powerful antioxidant action — by effectively suppressing pork oxidation, freshness can be maintained for longer. Resistant to color change even after purchase, with umami sustained — the authentic deliciousness can be enjoyed even in home cooking. The meat quality is finely-grained, with gentle sweetness and clean flavor of the fat as characteristics — and minimal off-odor with a soft texture as the appeal. The breed is a three-breed cross — (Large Yorkshire × Landrace) female crossed with Duroc — shipped at 180 days of age and 110–120 kg body weight. Annual shipments reaching 30,000 head — stably distributed with Nagoya City Meat Market as the primary slaughter facility. Please do try Chita Pork — active across a wide range from standard preparations including tonkatsu and ginger pork stir-fry to delicate preparations like shabu-shabu — at least once.
