Raised in the shadow of Mount Aso, Umakapork carries the clean air and pure groundwater of Kumamoto in every bite.
Umakapork is a brand pork raised in Ozu Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, at the foot of Mount Aso — one of Japan’s most pristine natural environments. Kumamoto is renowned for having over 95% of its tap water sourced from underground aquifers, making it one of the country’s premier regions for clean water. This exceptional combination of fresh mountain air from Aso’s vast forests and crystal-clear groundwater creates ideal conditions for raising pigs with clean, distinctive flavor. The meat is characterized by rich umami, a clean finish with no off-odors, and a pleasantly sweet fat. The fine-grained texture feels silky and tender from the very first bite, with a depth of flavor that keeps drawing you back. Production and processing are handled entirely in-house by Kumamoto Food (Local Co., Ltd.), ensuring consistent hygiene standards and quality control at every step. The brand has earned top rankings on multiple furusato nozei platforms across Japan — a testament to how highly it is regarded by consumers nationwide.
