Raised in the Osuzu mountain range of Miyazaki — a pure brand pork with no off-odor and a pronounced umami.
Osuzu Ton is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Kawaminami Town, Koyu District, Miyazaki Prefecture, managed by Osuzu Tonyukai Agricultural Cooperative Corporation. Breed / crossbreeding: Female (Landrace × Large White) × Duroc.
Osuzu Ton (Osuzu Mountain Pork) is a brand pork carefully raised at the foot of the lush Osuzu mountain system, in Kawaminami Town, Koyu District, Miyazaki Prefecture. Osuzu Tonyukai (an agricultural cooperative corporation) was formed in 1979 by 7 local pig farmers — continuing to deliver quality-committed pork for over 40 years since.
For the feed — an original compound feed independently improved over many years is used — corn-based with soybeans and barley well-balanced and blended. Among them, barley plays the important role of tightening meat quality and elevating fat quality. Furthermore, by raising slowly over approximately one month longer than the general fattening period — firmly drawing out the inherent umami of pork — a commitment unique to Osuzu Ton.
The meat quality is finely grained and taut — with a faint sweetness in the fat. The characteristic pork off-odor is minimal — combining elegant umami and ease of eating is a major characteristic. The meat quality that allows softness and juicy texture to be simultaneously enjoyed leaves an unforgettable impression once eaten.
Producers manage with deep affection from the piglet stage — meticulous attention is also paid to stress reduction before shipping. Such accumulated effort and passion is the source producing this rich flavor. Also highly popular as the processed product ‘PREMIUM PORK Osuzu Ton’ including ham and sausage — also delivered to tables nationwide as furusato nozei return gifts. Please do savor at least once this pork — packed with the bounty of the Miyazaki earth and Osuzu Mountain.
