Raised in the great land of Miyazaki — a brand pork of rich body and umami, brought out by six varieties of grain.

Miyazaki Rokkoku Ton is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Miyazaki Prefecture, managed by Ito Ham Yonekyu Holdings Co., Ltd. Breed / crossbreeding: Three-way cross.

Miyazaki Rokkoku Ton (Miyazaki Six-Grain Pork) is a brand pork carefully raised at Japan Farm designated farms within Miyazaki Prefecture managed by Ito Ham Yonekyu Holdings Co., Ltd. For the feed — an original designated compound feed is used, blending 6 types of grains with different characteristics in a well-balanced way: wheat, barley, rice, corn, milo, and soybeans. By exquisitely combining starch-rich grains with nutritious legumes and grains — firmly drawing out the inherent richness and umami of pork while realizing taut meat quality and beautiful fat color — a major characteristic. The pigs firmly store the abundant nutrition derived from grains within their bodies while being raised slowly over the sufficient time of approximately 180–190 days — a deep flavor distinct from standard domestic pork is born.

When eaten — the umami unique to pork gently spreads throughout the mouth — an elegant richness remains long as an aftertaste. The fat does not excessively assert itself — the aftertaste impression is clean — yet with satisfying eating substance that increases in flavor with every chew — also an appeal. Even in heat preparations such as sauté and stir-fry — the umami is not easily lost — the deliciousness can be fully enjoyed at the daily table.

Miyazaki Prefecture is known nationwide as a livestock kingdom blessed with warm climate and rich nature — Miyazaki Rokkoku Ton — carefully raised in that blessed environment — is domestic pork where the quality of the ingredient itself stands out. A specialty that satisfies those who eat it across a wide range of scenes from daily cooking to special occasion dishes.
