Wild Boar (Botan Niku) Shoulder Loin Slices 200g - Domestic

Product Description

The exquisite fat of acorn-fed wild boar and a rich umami flavor that overflows with every bite.We deliver natural wild boar meat raised in the rich nature of Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture, feeding on acorns and an abundance of natural blessings.

This product is a carefully selected gem directly sourced from local Tsushima "matagi" (hunters) who know the mountains of Tsushima inside and out.
For wild game meat (gibier), quick and precise bleeding and processing after capture significantly affect the taste.
Because it is processed quickly and appropriately with skilled techniques, there is surprisingly no "gaminess" peculiar to wild boar meat, allowing you to enjoy only the clear umami and wild aroma of the meat.

Characteristics of Shoulder Loin
The shoulder loin is the part of the meat from the neck to the back, which is frequently moved.
It contains an appropriate amount of the unique, smooth wild boar fat (white meat) within the red meat, making it a very popular cut where you can enjoy especially "rich umami" and "deepコク" among wild boar meats.
Despite its firm meat texture, the fat melts when cooked, resulting in a juicy finish.

Delivered as convenient "slices" and vacuum-frozen to lock in freshness.
With a serving size of 200g (approx. 1-2 servings), it's perfect for classic botan nabe (wild boar hot pot), yakiniku (grilled meat), or a slightly more elaborate BBQ.

How to enjoy

Simply grilled with salt and pepper
First, to enjoy the natural flavor of the ingredients, quickly grill it on a heated frying pan or griddle, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. You'll be surprised by the rich sweetness of the fat.

Classic Botan Nabe (Wild Boar Hot Pot)
Simmer in a red miso or blended miso-based broth with plenty of root vegetables and mushrooms.
The rich umami and fat from the shoulder loin melt into the entire soup, creating an exquisite hot pot that you'll want to drink down to the last drop.

Wild Boar Stir-fry for Stamina
Instead of your usual pork, stir-fry it with cabbage and onions in a miso-based sauce or ginger-soy sauce. The meat itself has a strong flavor, so it stands up to rich seasoning and becomes a powerful, main-dish-worthy item.
