Raised in the rich nature of Kagoshima — a brand pork with the concentrated umami of a hybrid breed all its own.
Kagoshima XX (Double X) is a brand pork born in Satsuma Town, Satsumagun, Kagoshima Prefecture. The ‘XX (Double X)’ in the name contains the infinite possibilities born from crossing excellent lineages — the name itself expresses this brand’s challenging spirit. A unique hybrid pig — Kenbro 35 female crossed with Kenbro 265 male — magnificently achieving both high productivity and rich meat quality as the defining feature. Commitment to feed is also an indispensable point when talking about Kagoshima XX. In the finishing period — a special feed centering on milo, wheat, and tubers while blending bamboo vinegar is generously given. Bamboo vinegar has gut-regulating action — the function of increasing beneficial bacteria and suppressing harmful bacteria. As a result — pigs raised healthily without relying on medications or antibiotics are delivered to the table as safe, reliable pork. The meat quality of Kagoshima XX thus raised has a non-gamey, natural flavor as its appeal. Richly containing oleic acid and high-quality fat — non-gamey, premium sweetness can be savored. The fine texture of the meat and the deliciousness of well-balanced fat melting in the mouth brings a blissful moment. Kagoshima XX — carefully nurtured in the clear air and rich nature of Satsuma Town — demonstrates true value in a wide range of preparations such as shabu-shabu, steak, and ginger pork stir-fry. Please do bring the flavor of premium pork — nurtured by the Kagoshima earth — to your daily table.
