Nurtured by the nature of Oze — a juicy, mellow Gunma brand pork.
Oze Pork is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Tone-machi Hirakawa, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, managed by Tone-Numata Dream Farm Co., Ltd. Breed / crossbreeding: Female (Landrace × Large White) × Male: Duroc (three-way cross).
Oze Pork is a brand pork raised in the rich natural environment of Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, blessed with clear air and pure water. Tone-Numata Dream Farm, which handles the rearing, has made a commitment to creating a rearing environment with stress eliminated as much as possible, prioritizing above all else the health of the pigs. The barns are spaciously designed to secure space where the pigs can relax, with individual IC tags attached to each piglet to manage growth conditions individually — preventing disease before it occurs and realizing the raising of healthy pigs without reliance on medication. Furthermore, by incorporating Good Agricultural Practice (JGAP), recording, inspecting, and evaluating the production process systematically, the farm puts effort into producing highly safe pork.
There is also a proprietary commitment to feed — a dedicated feed incorporating whey containing ‘catechin’ (a tea-derived component), centered on grains including corn and cereal grains such as barley and wheat, is given. The pork produced by this careful rearing environment and special feed is characterized by a great juiciness spreading from the first bite. The balance between soft, pleasant lean and mellow, elegant fat is exquisite, with the rich umami standing out more with every bite.
In 2017 it obtained a trademark, and JGAP certification in 2020 — a brand whose sincere stance toward quality and safety has been steadily recognized. Also handled by supermarkets within Gunma Prefecture and the U Co-op consumer cooperative (Kanagawa, Shizuoka, and Yamanashi Prefectures), it is a brand pork easily enjoyed by those in the Kanto and Tokai areas.
