An Experience You Should Try At Least Once.
Kamakura’s Original – Kamakura Seaweed Pork
Do you know about “Kamakura Seaweed
Pork”?
Recently, the popularity of this Kamakura specialty has been on the rise. Compared to regular pork, this pork has more oleic acid which adds to its “umami (deliciousness) flavor” and has half of the fat compared to regular red meat. The fat melts at low temperature, giving the pork a sweet, mild, tender flavor for the mouth.
The Secret Behind The Deliciousness Of The Kamakura Seaweed Pork
The secret behind its deliciousness is in its feed made from the seaweed found at the bay area of Kamakura’s Yuigahama and Zaimokuza.
Seaweed is a rich nutrient food as it is filled with rich minerals.
The idea to use seaweed as animal feed began with YANO Fukiko, a Kamakura chef. It began with the question of whether one can use seaweed without wastefully disposing of it.
Then in 2019, she met with Usui Farm, a Kanagawa pig farm. They were trying to incorporate locally grown ingredients to what they feed their pigs.
After receiving approval from the Kamakura Fishery Cooperative Association, which holds the fishing rights to the seaweed, established a system to use seaweed in feed. After building the Usui Farm Kamakura Office, the final product of the collaboration was the “Kamakura Seaweed Pork”.
A Brand That Contributes And Connects Back To The Kamakura Community
However, the happiness found within “Kamakura Seaweed Pork” is not only because of its flavor. To use seaweed in its feed, one has to clean off the sand and saltiness from it, dry the plant, crush it into a powder, and then package it. This is all done with human hands.
All of these actions contribute to the community welfare in the Kamakura region. The work is also contributed by the handicapped and retired senior citizens.
The people who participate in the activity enjoy being close to the great outdoors while contributing to the delicious taste of the Kamakura brand pork. This brand was born from the idea of “avoid being wasteful” and “valuing every life,” a common idea with the Japanese community.
