The mythical pork ”Kinkaton”“Kinkaton” is sometimes called “marbled pork” for its sweet and tasty fat. It is native to China, and known as the main ingredient for the Chinese delicacy, Jinhua ham. We visited Hirata Farm who grows “Kinkaton”. |
Trial and error to create additive-free sausageHiraboku Junsui Kinkaton is one size smaller than an ordinary pig. So the quantity of the meat is less, making it even scarcer on the market. But the taste of the meat, the fat and the texture are of the highest quality and is extremely popular. |
Refreshing and timeless tasteHirata Farm has retail stores and restaurants nationwide, including several in Tokyo. Thinking of how they could deliver the deliciousness of the pork, they came up with the idea of opening restaurants and serving them cooked. The popular menu at take-out shops is the potato croquette. The secret to the popularity is the lightness of the minced pork mixed with the potato. |
