Born of the gifts of wheat — a brand pork with the perfect three qualities: zero off-odor, a light and elegant fat, and exceptional lasting freshness.
Enshu no Yume no Yume Pork (Enshu Dream of Dreams Pork), carefully raised by Kawai Livestock in the mountains of Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture — a brand pork born from the pursuit of the ideal pork, as though layering the producer’s dreams one on another — true to its name. The defining feature is the light, clean melt of the fat. While many may feel pork fat is heavy, Enshu no Yume no Yume Pork is raised on a dedicated feed with 20%+ wheat blend — resulting in fat with a clean, refreshing texture. Without feeling cloying in the mouth, the authentic umami of the ingredient can be gently enjoyed. The minimal characteristic pork off-odor is also one of the major appeals. Easy to use in cooking without needing to worry about pre-preparation — not only in shabu-shabu and ginger pork stir-fry, but even in simple salt and pepper sauté, the high quality is conveyed directly. Furthermore, the good shelf life is also a pleasing point for consumers. With freshness maintained for a long time, it can be confidently incorporated into tables even after purchase. The cross is an LWD three-breed cross — Landrace × Large Yorkshire female crossed with Duroc male. Raised slowly over 190 days — only those reaching a shipping weight of 105–110 kg are shipped as ‘Enshu no Yume no Yume Pork.’ A historical brand with trademark registered in 2001 — while maintaining production of 1,800+ head annually, cherished regionally as a brand pork representing the Hamamatsu area. Please do savor at your table the flavor also called ‘phantom pork.’
