Nurtured in the land of Tohma Town, Hokkaido — a brand pork that takes pride in farm-fresh quality delivered straight from the source.
Asahiyama Pork is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Tohma Town, Kamikawa District, Hokkaido, managed by Eaton Co., Ltd. Breed / crossbreeding: Female: Large White × Landrace; Male: Duroc.
Asahiyama Pork is a brand pork produced by Eaton Co., Ltd., based in Tohma Town, Kamikawa District, Hokkaido. Raised on the pure subterranean waters of the Taisetsu mountain range and a designated all-vegetable compound feed, these pigs develop a well-balanced meat quality of fat and lean, with the deep, inherent umami of pork. The brand name ‘Asahiyama’ is derived from the Asahiyama district of Asahikawa City, also known as a representative tourist spot of Hokkaido, evoking the grand nature typical of Hokkaido.
What Eaton is most particular about is freshness. Orders are processed at the company’s own facility and shipped fresh — never frozen — directly across Japan, shrinking the distance from farm to table to virtually nothing.
Breed selection is also deliberate: a three-breed cross of Large White and Landrace sows with Duroc boars, renowned for their contribution to superior meat quality. The feed uses the ‘Yume Series’ designated by the Japan Swine Industry Cooperative Association — a purely vegetable-based compound of primarily corn and soybean meal that eliminates unwanted off-odor and draws out a clean, refined flavor. The shipping age is 170–185 days.
As live selection is used, advance booking is required, but this ensures meticulous individual quality control and consistently uniform quality across every animal. With annual shipments of approximately 300 head, the limited production only heightens the brand’s rarity and appeal. Hokkaido’s nature and the producer’s honest craftsmanship, concentrated in every cut — please do try Asahiyama Pork at least once.
