Tenkeibi Ton is a brand pork produced in Kagoshima Prefecture and Miyazaki Prefecture and managed by Nanchiku Co., Ltd.

Indispensable when talking about this brand is the unique feed design — by blending organic acid known for intestinal-regulating effect and digestive function improvement into the feed — firmly supporting the healthy growth inherent to pigs — finishing as even more finely grained, high-quality pork.

What such devoted rearing management accumulated produces is a flavor with three elements — a soft meat quality melting in the mouth, elegant richness, subtle sweetness, and deep, fragrant flavor all together. The beautiful pale pink cross-section is also one of the appeals — minimal scum when simmered, ease of cooking as well.

A three-breed cross of Landrace, Large White, and Duroc is adopted for the breed — through hybrid vigor effect, meat quality, reproductivity, and health balance is stable at a high level. Approximately 50,000 head are shipped annually — also having export achievements to Singapore and Hong Kong beyond the domestic market — a brand with rich achievements combining trust and capability.
