Raised in the great nature of Kokonoe — an SPF brand pork rich in free amino acids, with an outstanding umami that sets it apart.
Kokonoe Yume Pork (Kokonoe Dream Pork), carefully raised one by one by Kokonoe Farm Co., Ltd. in Kokonoe Town, Kusu District, Oita Prefecture — a mountain town on lush highlands adjacent to Aso Kuju National Park. One of the major characteristics of this brand pork is that it is reared as SPF pig (Specific Pathogen Free). Consistently produced under a clean, hygienic environment free from 5 specific pathogens that impede pig growth — with no concern for drug residues, it can be welcomed to the table with confidence. A unique feeding method of blending abundant wheat and further adding 10%+ feed rice is adopted. This addition of feed rice is the important key that remarkably elevates the umami component and free amino acid content in the pork. The deep umami spreading from the moment it enters the mouth, the smooth softness, and the fat filled with elegant sweetness — are truly the fruits of this unique rearing method. The finely-grained meat quality — even after heating, the meat juices are firmly retained and does not easily harden even when cooled — also has the ease of handling. Usability in a wide range of preparations such as shabu-shabu and stir-fry is also one of the appeals. At local Kokonoe Town restaurants — long beloved as ‘Kokonoe Yume Pork Don’ (rice bowl) finished aromatically with a secret sauce — also highly popular with tourists visiting the area. Under a highly reliable production system of Farm HACCP and JGAP obtained — please do fully savor at least once the deep flavor of this premium pork nurtured by the great nature of Kokonoe.
