Hello everyone, I'm Iori Ishikawa from the butcher department of the manufacturing and sales department.

What I would like to introduce to you today is the pork knuckles available at the farm market.

Genkotsu is the femur, and the name comes from the fact that the shape of the knee joint resembles a knuckle.

It is mainly used as a stock for pork bone soup. The characteristics of pork bone soup are:

• Rich fat and deep flavor
• Contains a lot of collagen
• It produces a lot of gelatin, so you can make a rich soup.
• Because it is high in fat, oil tends to float on the surface of the soup.
• If you continue to simmer for a long time, the floating oil will disappear and the soup will become cloudy.
• The cloudy soup is a result of successful emulsification, which gives it a rounded flavor.
• High-quality bone marrow is an essential ingredient for making rich, thick soups that require a long time to extract.

It becomes.

Homemade pork bone soup is pretty cool, isn't it?

The farm market also carries other rare cuts of chicken, so be sure to come and check them out.
