The defining feature of Itoshima Ton is the softness of the finely grained meat quality and the elegant sweetness and rich umami residing in the fat. The refreshingly clean fat smoothly melts in the mouth — the harmony with the soft, juicy lean is exquisite — producing a gentle flavor loved by all, welcoming anyone who eats it.
