There was a family story behind Rothham, which was made with unthinkable time and effort, and Edelweiss Farm Co., Ltd. is proud of it. The grandfather of Toru Nozaki, managing director in charge of manufacturing management, was the fifth son of Nozaki’s founder of corned beef. I met my grandmother, the daughter of the Aoyama family in Shukutsu, Otaru, who made a fortune by fishing for herring, and got married. From 1933 (Taisho 8), when he ran a ranch in Tokachi, he began making ham and bacon for his own use, using the translation of a textbook written in Germany about the manufacturing method of the 1920s as a model.”What I had been making for my family for more than 50 years caught the eye of the chef of Sapporo Grand Hotel, and I started the business in 1986 (Showa 61) in response to a strong request to” commercialize it. ” “Mr. Nozaki. “We do not use any bulking agents, moisturizers, preservatives or artificial colors that interfere with the taste and texture, and we perform natural aging with low salt and slowly laying down according to the German manufacturing method. Instead, it uses oak, which is used for whiskey barrels because it has a good fragrance, and wood that has been dried for two years, and smoked over charcoal to give it a soft fragrance. “When his father, the current chairman, went to Germany to learn how to make ham and bacon, the Nozaki family’s manufacturing method had already been lost in Germany. The manufacturing method, which became a phantom even at home, created a new tradition in Japan across the sea, leading to this selection.Another important point is the long-term ice temperature aging for 4 weeks before smoking. “By going through a process developed independently in addition to the German manufacturing method, the taste of the meat is brought out to the maximum, and especially the fat becomes delicious so that it melts on the tongue.””It’s delicious as it is, but if you warm it lightly so that the fat is transparent, you can feel the deliciousness that melts even more.” Sandwiches and grain mustard are also recommended. You can also enjoy the menu using the products at the cafe run by the company.
