The pride of Setana Town, Hokkaido — a brand pork nurtured by SPF management and locally grown rice feed.
Setana Town, located in southwestern Hokkaido, is an agricultural town blessed with rich nature and pure water. Here, Takahashi Livestock Co., Ltd. produces ‘Wakamatsu Pork Man’ — a brand pork raised with devoted care on a farm under rigorous SPF (Specific Pathogen Free) hygiene management. The Takahashi couple gives sincere, individual attention to every pig, and the farm holds Farm HACCP certification — a production system committed to food safety and reliability. The feed is a combination of dedicated SPF pellets and a proprietary compound feed. Further inspired by the principles of circular agriculture, locally-grown rice is blended into the feed — imparting an elegant sweetness to the fat and concentrating a rich, deep umami in the lean. This excellent balance of fat and lean is the greatest appeal of Wakamatsu Pork Man. The breed is a three-breed cross — Large Yorkshire × Landrace sows with Duroc × High-Cope boars — specifically designed for the fineness of grain and richness of flavor these crosses deliver. Shipping age is 150 days, with approximately 4,200 head shipped annually, distributed primarily through Hokkaido Livestock Corporation’s Hakodate Plant via Shin-Hakodate Agricultural Cooperative and Hokuren. Wakamatsu Pork Man is also popular as a furusato nozei (hometown tax donation) return gift from Setana Town, available in a variety of forms including processed product sets and 100% hamburger patties. A brand pork from the northern land — combining cleanliness and rich flavor — please do enjoy it.
