The pride of Shimizu Town, Tokachi, Hokkaido — SPF pork as beautiful as a peach blossom, free of off-odor.
Tokachi Momohanabuta is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Shimizu Town, Kamikawa District, Hokkaido, managed by Aoki Pig Farm Co., Ltd. Breed / crossbreeding: Female (Large White × Landrace) × Male Duroc.
Tokachi Momohanabuta is an SPF pork from a Japan SPF Swine Association-certified farm, raised in the pristine natural environment of Shimizu Town, Tokachi, Hokkaido. The producer, Aoki Pig Farm Co., Ltd., began raising SPF pigs in earnest in 2003. Pigs are raised in a rigorously clean environment with specific pathogens completely eliminated, and the farm undergoes strict annual inspections covering pig health, disease prevention systems, and hygiene management. Its high rearing standards have been widely recognized nationally — the farm has received the Japan SPF Swine Association’s Overall Production Performance Excellence Farm Award multiple times, and has repeatedly won the Grand Prize at the Hokkaido Carcass Competition.
The breed is a three-breed cross of Large White × Landrace sows with Duroc boars. The dedicated SPF feed uses higher proportions of rice and cereal grains such as barley and wheat, contributing to the beautiful contrast between lean and fat. The cross-section takes on a vivid color reminiscent of peach blossoms in bloom — the very origin of the brand’s name. The finely grained, moisture-retentive meat quality results in a moist texture and a rich umami that spreads across the palate. The virtually complete absence of pork off-odor, and the fact that it remains delicious even when cooled, are among its great appeals.
Trademark registered in June 2018, this pork has steadily established its place as a Hokkaido brand pork. Actively used at multiple restaurants and retailers including a butadon specialty shop inside Tokachi Obihiro Airport, it is widely enjoyed as a brand pork embodying Tokachi’s rich food culture.
