Anshin Pork is a specialty pork produced entirely at Fujii Farm, a small pig farm located on Kirigoe Plateau in Shirakawa Town, Gifu Prefecture. The name “Anshin” means “peace of mind” or “reassurance,” reflecting the farm’s commitment to careful animal husbandry and food quality.
The pigs are raised in spacious surroundings designed to provide an environment as close to nature as possible. The farm does not use antibiotics, disinfectants, vaccines, hormonal agents, or insecticides in raising its pigs.
Instead, the animals are fed a specially developed diet and given clean spring water. To support a healthy intestinal environment, they also receive fermented foods and juices as treats. The farm pays close attention to the pigs’ overall health and strives to minimize stress throughout the rearing process.
Anshin Pork is prized for its distinctive combination of rich umami, depth of flavor, and pleasantly light fat. Even cuts with a relatively high fat content, such as pork belly, can be enjoyed without feeling excessively heavy.
Thanks to the farm’s careful approach to raising its animals, this pork offers a satisfying taste of the region’s commitment to quality. It is an excellent choice for visitors who want to discover locally produced meat with an emphasis on careful farming practices and natural flavor.
