Premium-quality "jidori" (certified Japanese native chicken). Each pack contains 400g (14.1oz), or the equivalent of one chicken frame. Simply simmer and season for a rich, clear broth full of natural chicken flavor. This is Ginzan Akadori chicken, a rare, slow-grown breed raised in the lush countryside of Shimane Prefecture. Unlike typical broiler chickens raised in about 50 days, these birds are allowed to grow naturally for 120 to 150 days, developing deeper umami flavor and better texture. Raised without growth hormones or preventative antibiotics, and fed a custom fermented blend of rice, wheat, and okara, they're carefully nurtured with a focus on welfare and quality. This chicken is naturally raised without chemicals, resulting in meat and bones that deliver clean, pure flavor. The long rearing period and active, free-range lifestyle help the birds to develop a rich taste that's full of natural umami. These frames can be slowly simmered to extract collagen-rich broth full of deep chicken flavor, ideal for ramen, hot pot, soups, risottos, and more. Wholesome and reliable, this is an ingredient you can feel good about utilizing for your favorite home-cooked meals.
