Yubokusha no Sakura Kinubuta

Raised on liquid feed in a clean environment — a fine pork with gleaming white fat and lean with concentrated umami.

Yubokusha no Sakura Kinubuta is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, managed by Yubokusha Co., Ltd. Breed / crossbreeding: Female (Landrace ♀ × Large White ♂) × Male Duroc.

Yubokusha no Sakura Kinubuta (Yubokusha’s Cherry Blossom Silk Pork) is a brand pork produced by Yubokusha Co., Ltd. in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture. Known for its commitment to integrated production at a single farm and the assured, safe, reliable pork with traceability — a ‘producer’s face-visible’ brand.

The defining feature of this brand is the adoption of an original liquid feeding system. A nutritionally designed liquid feed containing no genetically modified foods or meat of any kind is given through a dedicated system that prevents the feed from scattering — always realizing a hygienic and safe rearing environment. Liquid feed that is easy for pigs to eat has a high digestibility and absorption rate, contributing to the formation of high-quality meat.

There is also a thoroughgoing commitment to the rearing environment. Stress on the pigs is minimized through rearing in a temperature-controlled, hygienic barn, with the clean environment supporting the stable production of high-quality pork. The stability of quality born from this consistent management system has led to awards at multiple contests.

Sakura Kinubuta born from this rearing philosophy is characterized by white, finely grained fat and a soft meat quality. The minimal off-odor, sweet yet refreshingly clean flavor makes it easy to eat even for those who dislike pork — the umami of the lean is also rich. In tonkatsu, the unity with the coating stands out; in shabu-shabu, the fine-quality fat and umami of the lean harmonize. A Gunma specialty that can draw out the inherent appeal of pork to the fullest.
