A list of brand pork from Nara, Japan. We cover two brands from Nara: Yamato Pork and Go Pork. Each article details the breed, feed, upbringing, and where to find it.
The two brands we cover from Nara are Yamato Pork, developed over five years by the Nara Prefecture Livestock Technology Center and approved as a prefectural brand in 2008, and Go Pork, raised by Murata Shoten in Nara City for more than 60 years on eco-feed processed from recovered food by-products. The two take opposite approaches: Yamato Pork uses a uniform compound feed with no animal ingredients, while Go Pork uses no compound feed at all. Nearby, we also cover Mie (5 brands), Kyoto (3 brands) and Osaka (3 brands).
