A pig crossing female Hypor with male Duroc is used for the breed — realizing a well-balanced meat quality making use of the excellent characteristics of each breed.

The particular commitment in rearing is the feed formulation. A feed combining diverse grains such as corn, wheat, barley, milo, rice, and soybeans is used as the base — in the late fattening period, an original compound feed with sweet potato (kansho) added is given. Feed design incorporating sweet potato — a representative specialty of Kagoshima — is a major point producing the rich sweetness and richness unique to Nanshu Hana.

The fat finishes white and clean — a rich umami feeling the elegant sweetness derived from sweet potato spreads in the mouth. Non-cloying, clean aftertaste — the inherent deliciousness of pork can be firmly enjoyed. Can be utilized in a wide range of preparations including shabu-shabu, yakiniku, tonkatsu, and stir-fry — pork that is welcomed in many situations from home tables to gifts.
