A Gift from Nature

Producing pharmaceutical-free, safe and delicious meat Rearing healthy and lively pigs
　Having devoted ourselves to this goal, we eventually discovered “Kakegawa Yeast” (registered as Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Kakegawa). Yeast is the fermentation agent essential to all fermented foods. By using yeast-fermented feed, healthy and lively livestock can be reared. Kakegawa Yeast is a precise strain that provides all the benefits of yeast.

The fat of this pig is a very healthy, and with high content of unsaturated fatty acid (same ingredient as olive oil).

Kakegawa Yeast-Fermented Feed

　40 years for development of Kakegawa yeast fungus.
The fermented material is then sterilized and amino-acids are formed. It is then finally turned into high-quality Kakegawa Yeast-Fermented Feed. So it is savory, digestible, nutritious, and benefits blood circulation. This allows pigs to grow up healthily without any burdens, thereby producing excellent meat that has both muscle texture and fat.

Safe（Healthy, Pharmaceutical-Free Fattening）

　Kakegawa Yeast-Fed Pork is only derived from pigs that are fattened on sterilized, yeast-fermented feed without the use of antibiotics or pharmaceuticals. (The term “fattening period” refers to a stage of fattening where animals are fed with grain-based feed.)

Secure（An integrated manufacturing system from feed making to pig rearing）

　The entire production of Kakegawa Yeast-Fed Pork, from making the proprietary yeast-fermented feed to rearing the pigs, is fully controlled and operated by our company using a secure integrated manufacturing system.

Healthy（Abundant Plant Fat）

　High-quality fat allows for unprecedented taste
The pig breeds chosen for fattening with Kakegawa Yeast-Fermented Feed are known for having relatively low levels of animal fat and yet still possess relatively high “plant fat” content. The meat from these pigs is also famous for having high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids, thus producing healthy and mellow pork fat.

HEALTHY Full of unsaturated fats

What differs the taste of “Kakegawa”?
Kakegawa Yeast-Fermented feed promotes the pigs’ blood circulation for dispersing fat by its alcohol component. Simultaneously it forms sweet and healthy lipid for having low levels of saturated fats but keeps full of unsaturated fats. Our pork has a favorable reputation of its tenderness, sensuousness and juiciness, and there is no usual odor that is common ordinary pork have. (Olive oil contains more than 80% of unsaturated fats.)

FULL-RIPE

More of fattening after ordinary rearing
We take more than 2 weeks of fattening process with Kakegawa Yeast-Fermented feed after ordinal rearing process. Our pork gains more umami by those process that differ taste from existing pork.

Meat delivered from slaughterhouse is washed with “reverse osmosis membrane water purifier” before processing. Processing factory equipped beside the store aiming at Japanese sanitation criteria. Equipment such as knifes are kept in sterilizing machine at all times.
