The sweetness and savory aroma of the Middle Yorkshire shine — a rare brand pork that Iida is proud of.
Chiyofuku Buta is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Chiyo, Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, managed by Okada Yoton. Breed / crossbreeding: Female (Middle Yorkshire × Large White) × Duroc.
Chiyofuku Buta (Chiyo Blessed Pork), raised in Chiyo, Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, is a brand pork using the rare Middle Yorkshire — a breed with extremely limited farming households even within Japan — as the sow. Carefully produced by Atsushi Okada of Okada Yoton — adopting a three-breed cross of ‘Middle Yorkshire × Large White’ sow crossed with Duroc male — combining high quality with stable production. Though the farm originally produced with Landrace pigs, the entire herd was switched to this rare breed — the producer’s commitment and conviction to the breed is evident.
The feed uses compound feed as the base while proactively incorporating recycled feed — also working on reducing environmental burden. Furthermore, by self-blending multiple ingredients including soybean, buckwheat, and yogurt in combination according to seasonal changes, the arrangement is designed to further draw out the inherent umami of the Middle Yorkshire.
By raising slowly over 200 days before shipment, the meat quality is finely grained — when it enters the mouth, a subtly natural sweetness and elegant fragrance spreads. This rich flavor is the greatest individuality of Chiyofuku Buta — the reason it is repeatedly chosen by those who have tasted it once.
The pig’s name embodies the wish for fortune to visit both the producer and the customer — and that sincere stance seeps into the flavor of the meat as well. Home delivery of this committed individual raised in the clear air and rich nature of Iida City is also possible. Please do experience this rare flavor at least once.
