Product FAQs

What are the best before dates?
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?
Yes, most of our products come in portion sizes and are individually vacuum packed. Please check below on the product page for more details.

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.

This is 800g (1.7lbs) of the pork shoulder, highly marbled and most likely the highest quality of free-range pork you can put your hands on in Japan. Skinless and boneless. This is top-notch quality, incredibly juicy when cooked as a roast in just 45 min. You can use the pork shoulder to make Japanese tonkatsu. Slow cook for pulled pork or smoke for an incredible juicy experience. Check out the video and the cooking instructions further below.

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 Shoulder Recipe Instructions

Free Range Pork Shoulder

Defrost the pork shoulder pack in the fridge for about 48h or in cold water for about 3h. Open the pack and let the pork shoulder breathe and sit at normal room temperature for about 15 min. 

Free Range Pork Shoulder

Use olive oil and your favorite rub, we use a mix of sea salt, freshly ground pepper, garlic powder, paprika powder, a tiny bit of dill powder and mustard powder. Cover the shoulder from all sides. Next, before we roast the shoulder in the oven we want to crisp the outside. For that, we need a very hot frying pan or skillet. Make sure it's hot - really hot. Also, make sure you turn on your range hood to max power.

Free Range Pork Shoulder

Cook the shoulder from all sides, keep turning. The goal is not to cook the inside but only the outside layer.

Free Range Pork Shoulder

Place on an oven tray. There is no need to use an oven bag or aluminum foil. 

Free Range Pork Shoulder

Prepare your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Depending on your oven 800g of meat requires up to 1h. The best is to set it to 60 minutes and to check at 30 min and 45 min again. We use a meat thermometer. Check out our high-end meat thermometers.

Free Range Pork Shoulder

Our roast took 45 minutes. We used our leave-in thermometer with an LED indicator that lets us know once the internal temperature has reached 60 degrees Celsius. 

Free Range Pork Shoulder

Contrary to popular belief good quality pork can be consumed medium and does not have to be thoroughly cooked. If you know where your meat comes from there is no reason to worry. Cook to 60 degrees Celsius 145 degrees Fahrenheit and leave the roast sitting on a cutting board for 10 min for medium. If you prefer your pork well done, wait until the internal temperature reaches 70 degrees Celsius 160 degrees Fahrenheit before removing the roast from the oven.

Free Range Pork Shoulder

Take a look at this juicy pork. Incredibly juicy and crispy on the outside. 

Free Range Pork Shoulder

Slightly pink (medium) is the way to go when it comes to high quality and highly marbled pork meat. Give it a try. You can always finish cooking pork to the desired doneness in the fry-pan.

Taste the difference and enjoy.

Nice big cut of pork for braising

The meat arrived almost exactly as shown in the photo on the website. Nicely marbled and a little over 800g in its pack. We braised the pork with onions, celery, carrots & cider and chicken stock. Put everything in a cocotte and then in the oven on a low heat for 3-4 hours. Deliciously tender; easy to pull apart with a fork, and full of flavour. Next, we'll try a simple roast and slice for serving.

As expected a top class product

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to keep the pork shoulder, once thawed, in the fridge for a week, but it still cooked up wonderfully and was much appreciated by all our guests.
