A three-breed cross pig — Duroc (excellent fat quality and flavor) crossed with a sow born from Landrace female × Large Yorkshire male — finishing as pork with outstanding balance of meat umami and fat sweetness. Corn and wheat are well-balanced and blended for the feed — a rearing environment where pigs can grow healthily and freely is arranged — carefully managed under the safe, reliable production system of Farm HACCP and JGAP obtained. The cross-section of pork raised over the sufficient time of 185 days — characterized by a beautiful cherry-pink lean that is also the origin of the brand name — the rich umami that spreads softly from the moment it enters the mouth is impressive. The fat has no cloyingness — with a smooth mouthfeel — the exquisite balance with the lean further enhances the joy of eating.
