Nurtured under rigorous hygiene management — a Nagoya brand pork whose subtle sweetness is exquisite.
Bishuton is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, managed by Sugimoto Shokuniku Sangyo Co., Ltd. Breed / crossbreeding: Female (Landrace × Large White) × Duroc (LWD three-way cross).
Bishuton (Bishu Pork) is a committed brand pork produced by Sugimoto Shokuniku Sangyo Co., Ltd., headquartered in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. The name derives from ‘Bishu’ — the place name long referring to Aichi Prefecture — proudly raised by a long-established meat company that has supported Nagoya’s meat culture.
A designated compound feed is used in production — quality stability and safety are thoroughly pursued. The crossing system is an LWD three-breed cross — Landrace × Large White female crossed with Duroc male — a breed composition outstanding in the balance of meat quality and fat quality. By setting the standard of 175 days of age and 105–120 kg body weight at shipping, uniform meat quality is realized.
The defining feature of Bishuton is its well-balanced flavor. While carefully drawing out the umami of the meat, the fat has a subtle sweetness — while a non-cloying, clean finish can also be enjoyed. The minimal characteristic pork off-odor and the ability to directly feel the inherent flavor of the ingredient are highly evaluated even by many meat professionals.
Slaughter is at Nagoya City Meat Market — approximately 2,400 head are shipped annually. In September 2009, trademark registration and brand regulations were established — the reliability as a brand was confirmed. Since then, it has steadily built a production system that keeps pace with evolving food-safety and environmental expectations. The sincere stance toward hygiene management through to delivery to the table, and the track record over many years, support the high quality of Bishuton.
