A list of brand pork from Ishikawa, Japan. We cover two brands from Ishikawa: Noto Buta and Kahokugata Pork. Each article details the breed, feed, upbringing, and where to find it.

The two brands we cover from Ishikawa are Noto Buta, a name reserved for pork graded by the Japan Meat Grading Association at the Kanazawa meat distribution center, and Kahokugata Pork, raised by the butcher's shop Niku no Imaeda on its own farm with home-grown feed rice and soybeans. Noto Buta is prized for a thick loin eye with a chewy, mochi-like texture and natural sweetness; Kahokugata Pork for firm meat with generous marbling in small batches. Nearby, we also cover Toyama (2 brands) and Fukui (1 brand).
