グリーンコープ 産直豚モモ塩麹漬け

This product is a traditional Japanese fermented ham dish made by Green Coop (グリーンコープ), a well-known Japanese retailer specializing in fresh and direct-from-farm (san-chiku) produce. Known as momoyaki shio koji-tsukuri, it features tender pork cutlets marinated in a blend of salt and koji (fermented rice mold), offering a savory, umami-rich flavor with a slightly tangy depth. This type of product is popular in Japanese home cooking and as a gift item, prized for its simplicity and natural preservation method.
