Raised in the pure air and water of the Aso highlands — an SPF-certified brand pork with no off-odor.
Yamato Nadeshiko Pork is a Japanese brand pork (meigara-buta) from Imamachi, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture, managed by Yamaton Farm Co., Ltd. Breed / crossbreeding: Female (Landrace × Large White) × Duroc (SPF).
Yamato Nadeshiko Pork is raised with heart and care by Yamaton Farm Co., Ltd., located on the magnificent highlands of Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture. In the rich natural environment with a panoramic view of the five peaks of Aso — the SPF pigs raised fully absorbing clear subsurface water and fresh air have the bounty of that quality natural environment directly reflected in the meat quality as well — truly a brand pork carefully nurtured by the Aso earth.
At Yamaton Farm, to ensure that no pathogens are brought in from outside — upon entering the pigsty, thoroughly washing the entire body, disinfecting, and changing into dedicated clothing is a daily strict hygiene management requirement. The entire farm is regularly disinfected to maintain a clean rearing environment — periodic blood tests and organ inspections to clear annual certification inspections are also never skipped — the pig’s health condition is always carefully confirmed. A dedicated SPF pig feed that has been heat-treated is used — commitment to simultaneously realizing food safety and high quality is felt throughout.
Yamato Nadeshiko Pork — raised slowly over 150 days in this way — has high moisture retention and does not easily harden even after heating — a major characteristic. Minimal characteristic meat off-odor — the sweet umami of the fat elegantly spreads in the mouth. In stir-fry and hot pot of course — even in simple sauté and shabu-shabu — the umami and softness are firmly felt.
Please do enjoy at length at your daily table this specialty — nurtured by the producer’s sincere commitment and the rich nature of Aso.
