It's organic.

Translated from Japanese: The meat is very chewy and has a strong redness compared to the ones that are usually sold at supermarkets.
It’s a healthy meat with less fat at a safe and reasonable price.

Dorobuta Free-Range Pork Ham / Boneless Leg (1kg)

Description

A 1kg (2.2lbs) portion of the hind leg of pork, also known as ham. The perfect economical cut for slow cooking. This cut does amazingly well in a pressure cooker. If you prefer your meat to have a characteristic bite to it - you can go for a slow-cooked oven roast. Compared to the shoulder roast the ham has less marbling and can therefore be tougher if not cooked slow.

100% real free-range and naturally raised pork from Hokkaido, Japan, probably the only place in Japan that has space for free-roaming animals. Happy as a pig in mud. Bathing in the nearby river during summer and playing around on the snowfields in winter - that's the happy life of the pigs on the family-owned El Paso Ranch in Hokkaido that are raised completely free-range in the Tokachi area. And when we say free range we mean the real deal free-range. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter - 24 hours, all year free-roaming on 30 hectares (75 acres) of land. Read more about the farm below.

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. 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. Give it a try and taste the difference!

Happy as a pig in mud. Bathing in the nearby river during summer and playing around on the snowfields in winter - that's the happy life of the pigs on the family-owned El Paso Ranch in Hokkaido that are raised completely free-range in the Tokachi area. And when we say free range we mean the real deal free-range. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter - 24 hours, all year free-roaming on 30 hectares (75 acres) of land. The pigs are a slow and naturally grown British Camborough breed. They are fed a large variety of feed mixes that contain all kinds of grains, corn, soybeans, and other vegetables and farm produce (pigs can’t survive only on grass, so there won't be grass-fed pork any time soon). Newborns stay in a shelter together with their mothers until they learn how to take care of themselves. No tail clipping of piglets, no gestation crates for sows. No factory farming. They receive all the respect, love, and care. See for yourself, all images and videos are real.

Pork Ham Roast Recipe Instructions

Dorobuta Pork Ham Roast

Defrost the roast in the fridge for at least 24h. Once completely defrosted, pat dry with a paper towel. We highly recommend using butcher's twine to retain the round shape of the roast. Butchers twine is available in most supermarkets and 100 yen shops in Japan.

Dorobuta Free-Range Pork Ham Roast

Use olive oil and your favorite seasoning spice. Try out Horizon Farms' all-natural spice blend for roasts. 

Dorobuta Free-Range Pork Ham Roast

Prepare a fry-pan or skillet to very hot. All we want to do here is to sear all the sides very quickly. 20 seconds on each side should do it.

Dorobuta Free-Range Pork Ham Roast

Place the seared roast on an oven tray. 

Dorobuta Free-Range Pork Ham Roast

Place in the center of a preheated oven (180 degrees Celsius/350 degrees Fahrenheit) for at least 60 minutes. 

Dorobuta Free-Range Pork Ham Roast

Make sure the core of the roast has reached at least 60 degrees Celsius (145 degrees Fahrenheit) before you take the roast out of the oven. Allow it to rest for an additional 5-10 minutes as it continues to cook on residual heat.

Dorobuta Free-Range Pork Ham Roast

Use a sharp large knife to cut the roast into thin slices. Notice the crispy outside layer.

Dorobuta Free-Range Pork Ham Roast

Rediscover the real taste of pork. Free-range pork from Hokkaido. Enjoy.

Also for pets

Translated from Japanese: The bone broth made from this chicken is also very delicious, but I am very pleased that I can scrape off the meat after taking the soup stock and give it to my pet cat. It’s a product that everyone, both pets and families, will appreciate.

Very satisfied!!!!!

Translated from Japanese: I made bone broth soup. It was delicious without any odor. It's non-genetically modified meat, so I'm happy to eat it with confidence. It seems that you will not be able to eat anything other than this meat (laughs)
I will continue to purchase it.

Translated from Japanese: I received very cleanly processed chicken frames with no odor. I used them to make bone broth.
We enjoyed the soup simply seasoned with salt and pepper, toshikoshi soba, New Year's ozoni, ramen and curry. Thank you for the good products!!!

Y
Y.

Translated from Japanese: As you can see in other reviews, these are very beautifully processed chicken frames. I boiled them in a pot without adding any spices to eliminate the odor, but there was no odor during cooking. A clean and clear soup was made.
I want to order it again!

For bone broth soup

Translated from Japanese: It was a volume that I couldn't think of as 1.5 kg! I came here looking for meat that I could eat with no worries. I’d like it if you also offered different types of chicken wings.

I have a feeling that this will become a standard for celebrations!

Translated from Japanese: Even though the taste is strong, the fat is really delicious!!!
When eating this store’s chicken breast, I realized there’s a difference to usual chicken and because a family member’s birthday is near, I’ve decided to order this whole chicken.
I cooked it the same as always, but the meat quality is completely different!
The whole family is a total fan of this taste and aroma. Thank you (^^)

I made Samgyetang with it

Translated from Japanese: Although I have bought several types of chicken here already, it’s my first time trying this whole chicken.
To prepare it carefully, I washed it, but even so, there was no fat or blood on the chicken.
It was the same with the other chicken products I already tried, but there was also not the characteristic (strong) smell of chicken.

Because it’s hard to know the chicken’s life from the packs that you can find in the supermarket, I could finally feel with this product that the chicken’s life was spent preciously. I’m thankful I’m able to enjoy this chicken meat and won’t waste a bite, as one shouldn’t forget this animal once had a precious life, too.
Although I boiled it for 1½ hours, the meat didn’t get dry, the fat sticking to the meat had no unpleasant smell and I got a soup with a golden color.

I order all the meat I need from this store, I’ve come to not like any other ones.
Although I eat a lot less meat now, I have not become a vegetarian or vegan yet, so I think I want to not forget to at least be thankful for the meal this chicken gave me.

I’m sorry for this long comment.
I will order again.

I tried a whole chicken for the first time.

Translated from Japanese: Preciously raised chickens packaged carefully (for delivery) arrived in the best condition possible.
I grilled it with natural salt and thyme from my garden. It was really delicious, a complete success. Even cooled down packed inside a bento, there is no unpleasant smell.

Thank you HORIZON FARMS!! (｡◕ˇДˇ◕｡)/

Translated from Japanese: With this product, I made roast chicken for the first time.
I marinated it for 1 hour with salt and pepper and rosemary. After filling the chicken with garlic, I baked it thoroughly in the oven.
My daughter was so happy! “This is incredibly delicious!!!” She said.
I know that if you defrost this store’s chicken, you have to process it cleanly.
Inside a vacuum pack, the quality also remains the same.
It was really delicious meat.
More than the smell, the taste was rich in flavor.
It was amazing!!!
My daughter has a pesticide and antibiotics allergy.
For that reason, we bought the most expensive organic chicken meat we could find in a supermarket to cook with it.
But the quality of the oil of the top-grade supermarket chicken and this store’s chicken is different!
Even if you eat a lot, your stomach doesn’t feel heavy.
Surprisingly, it was even a pleasure to clean the plates and the oven.
I want to film myself cleaning and show everyone.

Translated from Japanese: I got it to make bone broth soup. The store was very polite and nice and the product itself is also very nice. It has a strong taste, and above all, it’s grass-fed meat, so you can eat it with no worries. I will order again.

I made bone broth

Translated from Japanese: It was easy to cook even for the first time, and I made a very rich and delicious soup. I boiled it for half a day, so it was easy to remove the meat from the bones and easy to eat. I want to buy it again.

Highest quality

Translated from Japanese: I think that there’s no better product for tail soup and bone broth. I think I will continue to buy it here.

J
J.

Translated from Japanese: I bought it because I wanted to make tail stew. It's a pity that the edible part is less than half considering the number of grams because the bone occupies a considerable part.
The price is high for the quantity.

Translated from Japanese: I haven’t been able to eat in a restaurant because of corona, so I wanted to have something that is just as delicious, even if made at home. My family likes lamb, so I searched for lamb shanks. It was my first time buying here, but I was very satisfied. It was my first time seeing raw lamb shank, but it was very beautiful and my impression after eating was that it’s tender and delicious with no odor. For those who want to give this a try, if you have a pressure cooker, wine and rosemary, it will be delicious. I recommend it. Next weekend, I gave the recipe on the website a try and my family loved it.

Grass-fed lamb shanks

Translated from Japanese: Great lamb shank!
When you open the pack, the meat is clean and has no odor. Just boil it with flavored vegetables such as tomatoes and onion bay leaves for two and a half hours ... A faint lamb scent, plenty of flavor, and meat is fluffy ... It has become a luxurious pot-au-feu.

Grass-fed lamb shanks

Translated from Japanese: I didn't know that New Zealand pesticide-free grass fed, antibiotics, and hormone-free lamb meat would be available at such a reasonable price.
It was packed properly in a well-frozen state and arrived the day after the order was placed.
When simmered in an ordinary pot with only vegetables and natural salt for 2 hours, the meat became surprisingly tender, and the bone marrow melted in the soup, giving it a strong flavor. Surprisingly, it has no odor.
When I lived in New Zealand, I saw many grazing sheep. It was impressive that I walked around the lush meadows freely and was grazing.

Translated from Japanese: The most delicious stewed meat. It's lamb and the meat itself has a light taste, but it's the best if you season it well. This time, I made pot-au-feu, put in salt and granule kelp soup stock, a tea bag of bouquet garni, a small amount of light soy sauce, and a small amount of pure rice liquor, and boiled green pepper. It seems that tomato sauce and white sauce can be used, too (reinforcement of the delicious "flavor" is essential). The fascia part is sticky and slippery, and the tendon part is fine and chewy and delicious. It's finer than the shin meat of adult beef, and it's only cheek meat that is comparable to this. Delicious.
The recommended stew time is about 1.5-2.5 hours.
