Raised on a dedicated feed centered on feed rice — a Fukuoka brand pork of rich, full-bodied flavor that satisfies deeply.
Fukuoka Kome Buta (Fukuoka Rice Pork) is a committed brand pork managed by JA Zen-Noh Meat Foods Co., Ltd. Kyushu Sales Headquarters — carefully raised on the power of feed rice. At 3 farms within Fukuoka Prefecture — with producers designated and rearing management thoroughly unified, and a dedicated feed blending feed rice given — finishing as flavorful, stable-quality pork. The breed is a three-breed cross — Landrace × Large Yorkshire female crossed with Duroc male — a proven combination outstanding in the balance of meat quantity and meat quality. The sugar in feed rice is easily absorbed by the pig’s body — bringing a natural sweetness and mellow umami to the fat — a major characteristic. With less off-odor than standard pork — a clean, easy-to-eat quality with a firm umami felt within. Even in simple salt-flavor grilling, the sweetness of the fat stands out vividly — the authentic deliciousness of the ingredient can be enjoyed directly — widely utilized from home cooking to restaurants. Fukuoka Kome Buta — carefully raised to 175 days of age — has acquired both Farm HACCP and JGAP certifications — boasting a high standard in both hygiene management and agricultural production process management. With approximately 20,000 head shipped annually and a stable supply system in place — consumers can also pick up with confidence. Also sold at ‘Atashi no Chokubai-jo Jun’ (Dazaifu City) — a directly-managed outlet of JA Zen-Noh Meat Foods Kyushu Sales Headquarters — a pork brand long beloved locally in Fukuoka. Please do taste at least once the deep umami and premium fat sweetness unique to rice-fed pork.
