Pigs drinking wine? Never seen anything like it.The owner of the farm, Masaichi Misoka took us to the pigsty. Misoka raises ”Wain Ton”, pigs that are fed on wine. The meat has no unpleasant smell and has a rich flavor. Misoka is now a veteran pig farmer, but he originally started raising pigs to make manure for tomato farming. Gradually, he became interested in raising pigs for meat, studied about various breeds, and increased the number of pigs. Now he is well known as the only pig farmer to raise ”Wain Ton”.

A small bottle of white wine. ”In the end, I tried this light wine, thinking I’ll quit if it doesn’t work. ” Now Wain Ton is very popular nationwide, and many orders are coming from restaurants.
