M Country Black Pork is a premium black pork brand raised in the Miyakonojo Basin of Miyazaki Prefecture. The area offers a favorable natural environment, with clean air and abundant groundwater flowing from the Kirishima mountain range. The pigs are raised in these surroundings with careful attention to both their bloodlines and livestock management.
The pigs are given a specially formulated feed containing generous amounts of sweet potatoes and barley. This carefully selected diet is designed to bring out the natural umami and distinctive flavor of black pork.
The feed also contains yeast and lactic acid bacteria, which help support the animals’ health from within. According to the producer’s approach, these ingredients are intended to help prevent blood oxidation and promote metabolism.
Careful attention is paid not only to the breeding and feeding of the pigs but also to the processing of the meat. The meat-processing plant meets the strict standards of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), a system for managing food safety by identifying and controlling potential hazards during production.
Pork processed at this facility is less susceptible to loss of freshness and has good storage properties. These measures contribute to the product’s high standards of safety and reliability.
M Country Black Pork brings together the natural resources of the Miyakonojo Basin, carefully selected feed, attention to animal health, and rigorous food-safety management. It is a local specialty worth discovering when exploring Miyazaki’s renowned livestock-producing region.
