Topia Hamamatsu Pork is a brand pork from Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture — managed by JA Topia Hamamatsu. Hamamatsu City is a land where the pig farming industry has been rooted since ancient times — even today many farmers work on pig rearing with pride.

The defining feature of this brand is the thoroughgoing quality management system at certified farms. A veterinarian provides regular guidance — carefully supporting the pig’s rearing environment from both hygiene and health management perspectives. The brand regulations stipulate that cereal grains such as barley and wheat are blended at 5–10% or more in the finishing stage — this cereal grain feeding contributes to improvement of pork meat quality.

The breed is a three-breed cross — Landrace × Large White sow crossed with Duroc male — an ideal composition combining the advantages of each breed. The meat grain is very fine — when the meat is placed on the tongue, its smoothness stands out. The fat is white, firmly taut, and holds an elegant sweetness.

In any preparation including stir-fried, grilled, and braised dishes — the inherent umami is fully demonstrated — valuable across a wide range of scenes from household tables to restaurants. Pork raised carefully over approximately 190 days — approximately 15,000 head are delivered annually to regional consumers through Hamamatsu City Meat Market. The establishment of brand regulations dates back to 2008 — the trust built by consistently maintaining quality standards over many years is the great strength of this brand. Topia Hamamatsu Pork — which has continued to support Hamamatsu’s food culture — is a brand pork unique to this land in which the spirit of local production for local consumption lives. Please do savor the harmony of its fine-quality fat and smooth meat quality.
