Thinking about tonight’s dinner? You might be interested in this announcement which was forwarded to us earlier today. I’m posting it in its entirety so I can get this online for you as soon as possible, since I wasn’t here to post it earlier:

I am not saying that the pork is not wonderful but it isn’t Kurobuta pork.
The only REAL Kurobata Pork is from pigs raised in Japan. There’s a complete breeding, feeding and management system that has to go with it. The pigs must be certified purebred, under Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) rules passed January 2000, if the meat is to be sold under the Kurobata classification.
Pork being sold as Kurobuta outside Japan is just Berkshire pigs not real Kurobuta. All Kurobuta pork comes from Berkshire pigs. That does not mean that meat from all Berkshire pigs is Kurobuta pork.
