The unique quality of Tohoku Ham is born from three commitments: "no additives, local ingredients, and traditional manufacturing methods". From the lineup that directly conveys the quality of the materials and the skills of the craftsman, we will introduce three of the most popular gems.
Roast ham wrapped in cloth
Shonai pork loin is aged at a low temperature for 14 days, mountain grape wine and spices are added, and each piece is wrapped in a cloth and carefully rolled up with thread. It is slowly smoked overnight in a traditional open-fire kiln and finally boiled in hot water to create the meat's original firm texture and mellow aging aroma. You can enjoy it in a variety of situations, such as thick slices for ham steaks and thin slices for salads and sandwiches.
[Additive-free bacon
Pork belly from Shonai in Yamagata Prefecture is carefully rubbed with only natural rock salt, spices, and sugar, and aged slowly for about 30 days. Cherry blossom chips are used in an open-flame smoker and smoked at a low temperature over two nights, resulting in a rich and flavorful taste. Since no extra seasonings or fillers are used, the aroma and moist texture when baked are exceptional. It can be used in a wide range of dishes, including crispy bacon, pasta, and salads, both Japanese, Western, and Chinese. Customers have given high praise to say that it is "different from other bacons" and "safe to use".
