tquando Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I have to say that Japanese pork (butaniku) is the best! Trimmed, dry brined for 24 hours, and cooked a bit hot at 250 for 9 hours. We were out playing all day so no Texas crutch. While I usually think wrapping helps keep butts moist I was happy to have the bark on this cook. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 That looks really good. I'm all about non traditional pork butts. Please tell us more about the prep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeramicChef Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 You really nailed that butt cook. Great looking bark. Very nice cook. Kudos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tquando Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 This is a Japanese Kurobuta (black pig). It is a wonderfully marbled butt - not a belly. I have never seen them in the USA - doubt they export. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Yes, we have Kurobuta pigs here in the States. You can order it from Snake River Farms. http://www.snakeriverfarms.com/kurobuta-pork.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Living in the land of piggies, I can get Berkshire pork from the butcher at the local Farmers Market pretty much anytime I want it. He likes to specialize in heritage animals. The Red Waddle bacon is just amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
