Marbling and white fat, raised on in-house blended feed — Rokkin Pork, the pride of Kamisato Town, Saitama.
Rokkin Pork is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Kamisato Town, Kodama District, Saitama Prefecture, managed by Hashizume Farm. Breed / crossbreeding: Three-breed cross: Female (Landrace × Large White) × Male Duroc.
Rokkin Pork, born in Kamisato Town, Kodama District, Saitama Prefecture — in the lush north Saitama region — is a brand pork of committed devotion produced by Hashizume Farm. Representative Kazumatsu Hashizume practices integrated in-house management from feed formulation through to finishing, pursuing rearing that draws out the inherent umami of the pork to the maximum.
The feed is a self-formulated blend primarily of corn, soybean, barley, rice, wheat, milo, and sweet potato, with vitamins, natto bacteria, and leaf mold added. Additives are limited to premix (vitamins), Stamigen (deodorization / meat quality improvement), and natto bacteria — antibiotics are not ordinarily used. Through the utilization of natto bacteria and leaf mold that regulate the gut environment, a clean pork of minimal off-odor is nurtured.
Shipping is at 180 days of age and approximately 115 kg — a slower growth pace than standard pigs. This long rearing period brings a finely grained, moist meat quality and beautiful marbling. The fat color is finished pure white, with sweet, high-quality fat melting into the lean — a rich flavor can be savored even in simple salt-grilling and stir-fry.
The breed is an LWD three-breed cross — Landrace female × Large White male F1 crossed with Duroc male. The umami and marbling characteristics of Duroc accentuate the meat quality of Rokkin Pork. The primary slaughter site is Honjo Meat Center (Honjo City, Saitama Prefecture), with annual shipments of approximately 1,000 head — a small scale, but a designated retailer system is in place, managing distribution while protecting quality. For firmly enjoying the inherent sweetness and umami of pork, shabu-shabu, sauté, and tonkatsu utilizing the fine-quality fat are recommended.
