Towadako Highland Pork "Momobuta"

Towadako Highland Pork "Momobuta" introduction

Momobuta (桃豚, Momobuta) refers to a premium pork raised in a healthy, stress-free environment. Thanks to stringent care, these pigs are born disease-free, significantly reducing the need for antibiotics or other medications during their upbringing. Their feed includes rice grown primarily in Akita Prefecture, contributing to both the pigs' well-being and the superior quality of their meat. A key feature of Momobuta lies in its unique fat profile; instead of corn-based linoleic acid, the rice-based feed introduces oleic acid, resulting in pork that is lean yet flavorful, with a subtle sweetness in its fat. The meat is known for being tender, light, and delicious. Momobuta’s finely textured and flavorful meat shines in dishes like steaks, tonkatsu (breaded and fried pork cutlet), shabu-shabu (hot pot), ginger pork, and more. Its natural taste and tenderness make it perfect for enjoying in a variety of preparations.
