Product FAQs

Each product comes with its own label and expiration date. The expiration is written in Japanese: 賞味期限 (shou-mi-ki-gen) and the format is yyyy/mm/dd. 

See product details below for individual product information.

Do your products come individually packed?

Where do I leave a review?
Thank you very much for your support. Every product page has a 'Leave a Review' section at the very bottom. Please feel free to leave an honest review. All reviews are anonymous and don't require an account. Once submitted your review will show up immediately and be public for everyone to see. Please do not include personal information.

Are your products Halal or Kosher certified?
We do not specifically carry or import halal or kosher products. Some items are labeled as kosher or halal by default from the country of origin.

Until what temperature can I sous vide the meat in their own packaging?
Our packaging is sous-vide ready (the process of cooking meat in their packaging in hot water for a prolonged time) for water temperatures up to 95°C (200°F). We do not recommend temperatures close to the boiling point but temperatures around 60°C (140°F) with a cooking period between 45 minutes and 3 hours, depending on the type and thickness of the meat.

The product you will receive will be from either El Paso Ranch, Nakano Farm, or Curly Flats Ranch. All belly slices are the same weight and of the same high quality. All pigs were pasture-raised in Hokkaido all year long, and Horizon Farms is proud to be able to offer this product after talking directly with the farms. Please note that it's not possible to choose the farm. Please refer to the bottom of this page for more information about the farms.

These are thin 3mm slices (1/8″) cut right from the whole skinless and boneless pork belly. You get 3 packs, each weighing 300g (0.6lbs) that's 900g (2lbs.) in total - this way you don't have to use them all at once. The pork belly is a very fatty cut of meat and can be found in many Southeast Asian cuisines. In the west, the pork belly is mainly processed into tasty bacon. A lot of Japanese stir fry dishes call for sliced pork belly, for example, Buta Shogayaki (pork belly with ginger and onions) or the famous yakisoba (stir fry noodles).

100% real free-range and naturally raised pork from Hokkaido, Japan, probably the only place in Japan that has space for free-roaming animals. And when we say free range we mean the real deal free-range. Spring, summer, autumn and winter - 24 hours, all year free-roaming. The images below are actual photos of the farms.

Free-range pork, in this case, pastured pork tastes different because it is different! The pigs are able to exercise freely and build natural muscles without the aid of growth promoters. They get to wander and forage with the herd and interact and do not suffer the same stress as intensively farmed pigs. Give it a try and taste the difference! Raising pigs free-range on open pastures is an extremely cost-intensive operation that makes free-range pork more expensive compared to conventional pork products.

Pork shabu shabu is the best!

Translated from Japanese: I always order in bulk and have it in shabu shabu and pork bowl!

Translated from Japanese: It has a lot of fat, but I can safely taste that as well as the umami of the dish. It’s always useful in stir-fries, pork miso soup, and other dishes.

Translated from Japanese: I've been waiting for its arrival because I wanted to make pork soup.

Although it’s pork belly, it’s not greasy and easy to use.

If you put it in vinegar, it will get even richer and delicious.
It doesn’t get hard in the lunch box the next day either.

Translated from Japanese: Slices are easy to use and useful for stir-fried and simmered dishes. It has a lot of fat, but it's not too heavy and delicious.

Translated from Japanese: I've been ordering it so often that I don't know anymore how often. It's often sold out, so I always buy it when it's in stock.
