From Japan’s northernmost SPF pig farm — a clean, pristine brand pork raised on the northern land, brimming with natural umami.
Nayoro Suzuki Vivid Farm SPF Ton is a brand pork produced by Suzuki Vivid Farm Co., Ltd. in Nayoro City, Hokkaido — operating an integrated system from breeding through to fattening of SPF pigs. SPF stands for ‘Specific Pathogen Free’ — healthy pigs free of specific pathogens. In a harsh natural environment with annual temperature swings of some 60 degrees, the farm maintains approximately 3,000 pigs at any given time under strict hygiene management — it is the extreme climate of this northern land that cultivates pigs of remarkable vitality. The farm holds certification from the Japan SPF Pig Association and is known as the northernmost SPF-certified farm in Japan. The name ‘Vivid’ — meaning lively and energetic in English — reflects the producer’s commitment to creating an environment where both the farmers and the pigs can thrive in good health. Under a hygiene management system that rigorously prevents the entry of external pathogens, the farm continues to provide a place where pigs can grow up in good health. The meat quality is finely-grained with minimal pork off-odor — raised in the clean environment unique to SPF pig farming, the authentic umami and flavor of the pork come through naturally, making it well suited to a wide range of preparations from grilling and stir-fry to braised dishes. The breed is a three-breed cross of (Large Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc, raised under nutritional management using dedicated SPF pig feed to a shipping age of approximately 165 days. JA Dohoku Nayoro serves as the management body, with slaughter at Hokkaido Livestock Corporation’s Kamikawa Plant and distribution through Hokuren Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives. With approximately 7,200 head shipped annually, including exports to Hong Kong, this is a brand pork earning high recognition both domestically and internationally.
