Shibushi Kurobuta (Black Pork)

This is Kagoshima's pride—Black Pork raised by eating sweet potatoes. Kagoshima Black Pork, which is extensively farmed in Shibushi City, is a brand pork using the Berkshire breed. By providing sweet potatoes as feed during the late stages of fattening, the umami and sweetness are enhanced, and the fat becomes light and non-greasy in the mouth. The fine muscle fibers provide a clean bite and a charming tender texture. With roots tracing back to pigs brought from Ryukyu about 400 years ago, the breed has undergone long-term improvements within the natural environment of Kagoshima. The luxury of Black Pork lies in the fact that even the fat is delicious. Enjoy the sweet fat in shabu-shabu or the juiciness in tonkatsu. Please try this Black Pork, which is also a popular reward for hometown tax donations.
