Yakumo Yurappu Pepper Tongue is a flavorful Hokkaido specialty made from pork tongue produced in and around Yakumo Town in southern Hokkaido. Its name comes from the Yurappu River, which flows through the town.
To make this distinctive delicacy, whole blocks of pork tongue are first cured in salt and left to mature. They are then coated evenly with black pepper and cooked, giving the meat a bold, spicy kick that enhances the tongue’s rich, savory flavor.
The pork tongue comes pre-sliced, so it can be enjoyed straight from the package without any additional preparation. Serve it as an appetizer or add it to salads and sandwiches for extra flavor and texture.
With its robust black pepper seasoning and convenient ready-to-eat format, Yakumo Yurappu Pepper Tongue makes a satisfying snack or a tasty addition to a casual meal.
