1kg (2.2lbs) of free-range pork bones, aka tonkotsu, from Hokkaido. Rich in collagen, and full of deep delicious pork flavor. Use these to create a large variety of super easy and delicious soups and bone broths. Serve the soup as is, or use it to create dishes like pork bone ramen or pork miso soup.
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.
