Autumn has deepened.

…Or rather, when I looked at the thermometer display on my way to work at Tategamori Ark Ranch in Iwate Prefecture, I saw letters warning of freezing.

It's finally winter.

I have changed my car's studless tires, have had my flu vaccination, purchased a calendar and notebook for next year, and am preparing for winter (?).

Please take care of yourself so that you can stay in good health during the transition period from autumn to winter.

Hot menu items are selling well at the Tategamori Ark Ranch Farm Market butcher section.

thank you.

Stewed menu ingredients today"Tategamori Plateau Pork Pika (Rose Cartilage)"Let me introduce you.

"Paica" is a part of the "loose part" and refers to the cartilage and the meat that surrounds it.

In the first place, what language is the name "Paika"? ?
Although the roots of the name are not clear, it is said that the Chinese dish "paiko" changed to "paika" as a leading theory.

In the past, when processing meat, pica was unfortunately thrown away after being removed from the loose part.

The meat around the cartilage is not soft.
However, the taste of pork itself is quite high quality.

An employee of the Aomori Prefecture Misawa Livestock Corporation took notice of this and served it as a hot pot menu to customers at an event of the corporation, which led to the current hit.

Thank you to those employees! !

It feels wonderful that the Paika menu originated not at a restaurant but at a livestock corporation (laughs).

The basic pica is mainly stewed menu.

Stewed pica has a crunchy texture of the cartilage containing plenty of collagen and the texture of the meat is very delicious and soothing.

In addition to à la carte dishes simmered in kakuni style and Western-style menus using tomatoes and wine, there are also local dishes of Misawa City in Aomori Prefecture, such as pica ramen, pica rice bowl, and pica dumplings.

There are many variations!

Why don't you add it to the hot menu at home this season?
