After all, good pork is a brand, right?"
If anyone feels that way, we want to say it out loud.
The taste of pork is determined by the way it is raised.
In this article, we will introduce the essential commitment that Ganaha Chikusan Co., Ltd. has found in raising Agu pigs, in an easy-to-understand manner from the perspective of a pig farming professional.
What are the requirements for good pork?
The word "pork" has a wide variety of tastes, aromas, and textures. The following are the three characteristics of "good-tasting pork" that we experience in our daily raising.
The lean meat should be soft and full-bodied.
The taste should be clean and refreshing.
And all of this is determined by the environment, the food, and the way they have been raised.
Environment affects stress in pigs.
Pigs are very delicate animals. They are susceptible to stress, and even the slightest change can cause a loss of appetite or affect the quality of their meat. At Ganaha Livestock Breeding, we have created a rearing environment that minimizes stress as much as possible.
The piggery is always kept clean and the temperature and humidity are regulated.
Careful daily observation of the health of each animal
Pigs raised in a healthy and comfortable environment have meat that is firm and elastic, and has a strong flavor.
The feed determines the quality of the fat.
The "taste" of the fat varies greatly depending on the feed. Ganaha Chikusan's Agu pigs are fed the following proprietary formula feed.
Ulucar (fossil coral from Yonaguni Island): Rich in minerals to regulate the body's internal balance
Mugwort, garlic, seaweed: health maintenance and antioxidant properties
Awamori malt lees and dried yeast of Orion beer: improve the intestinal environment and enhance the flavor of meat.
Gushiken Bread Crumbs: Reusable and Environmentally Friendly Bread Crumbs Ingredients
This feed makes the fat meltingly sweet and the meat free of any tastiness.
Love and "eye" nurture the quality of the meat.
No matter how good the environment and feed are, it is the "people" who make the most of them.
We will not overlook even the slightest change and will respond immediately.
Adjust feed and rearing methods individually according to growth speed and physical condition.
This is the essence of "nurturing" work.
Under the chairman of Ganaha Chikusan, who says, "Pigs are the treasure of Okinawa," all staff members place the utmost importance on raising pigs with love and responsibility.
Summary｜Please try our "visible pork" to see how we raise our pork!
The Agu pork we raise is pork that tells the story of its journey to the dinner table.
We are proud of this phrase and it is a testament to our daily efforts.
At Ganaha Farm, we serve such Agu pork in various styles, such as shabushabu, gyoza, and sausage. Please come and experience the "delicious even the way it is raised" Agu pork.
