The pride of Miyazaki Prefecture — a safe, trusted pork brand born of strict standards.
Miyazaki Brand Pork is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Miyazaki Prefecture, managed by JA Miyazaki Keizairen. Breed / crossbreeding: Female (Landrace × Large White) × Duroc.
Miyazaki Brand Pork is the representative pork brand of Miyazaki Prefecture — raised in Miyazaki Prefecture blessed with southern Kyushu’s warm climate and rich nature. With JA Miyazaki Keizairen as the managing entity, working through the Miyazaki Brand Pork Promotion Council — by establishing a dual management system of designated producer system and designated store system — consistent quality management from production through sales is thoroughly maintained. For shipping — processing at a designated meat processing facility and acquisition of ‘Chu (medium)’ or above grading by the Japan Meat Grading Association are mandatory conditions — only producers meeting strict standards can deliver pork under the name ‘Miyazaki Brand Pork’ to the market.
Pigs born from three-breed cross (Landrace × Large White × Duroc) are carefully raised to 190 days of age — finished with appropriate fat and well-balanced meat quality. Under a hygienically well-managed environment — producers are obligated to disclose information including number of pigs and feed given — traceability that allows consumers to choose with confidence is secured.
Within Miyazaki Prefecture — 16 individual brands exist including Kannoji Pork, Oimo Ton, and Miyazaki Beiju Pork — each committed to unique feed and rearing methods. With 278,000+ head shipped annually — wide distribution at mass retailers and restaurants nationwide — stable supply is also one of the strengths of Miyazaki Brand Pork. A brand pork representing Miyazaki — packed with the individuality of the production area and the producer’s sincere effort — making those who eat it smile.
