Choshu Kuro-Kashiwa

With a single bite, you experience the firm texture characteristic of local chicken. This is followed by a spreading sensation of juicy umami and the elegant sweetness of the fat. Choshu Kuro-Kashiwa is a brand chicken born in Yamaguchi, inheriting the lineage of the 'Kurokashiwa' chicken, which is a national natural monument. The Kurokashiwa is a Japanese breed that has been raised in Yamaguchi and Shimane since ancient times. Utilizing this heritage, an experimental station in Yamaguchi Prefecture developed this meat-focused local chicken, which was then brought to market as 'Choshu Kuro-Kashiwa' by Fukagawa Poultry in 2009. The chickens are raised freely in a spacious environment for about 80 to 100 days on feed containing herbs. The chicken breast is also a functional food labeled with components that contribute to fatigue recovery. Whether used for yakitori or mizutaki (hot pot), this is our pride and joy, carefully nurtured in Yamaguchi.
