Premium-quality "jidori" (certified Japanese native chicken). Each pack contains 100g (3.5oz.) of ground chicken mince. Using a base of breast meat and tenderloin, this mince is blended with a small amount of skin and naturally collagen-rich parts to enhance juiciness and texture. 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 in a chemical-free environment, resulting in clean, high-quality meat. Despite the long rearing period and free-range lifestyle, jidori meat remains pleasantly tender and is especially prized for its rich umami flavor. This mince is cleverly blended with a small amount of chicken skin, enhancing juiciness and allowing the mince to stay moist and fluffy throughout cooking. When cooked, the chicken’s natural fats gently render out, eliminating the need for added oil and allowing its pure flavor to shine. Jidori's flavor stands out even with just a simple seasoning of salt, and the mince can be enjoyed in a wide range of dishes, including stuffed peppers, tsukune meatballs, or juicy chicken burgers.
