[Impact of 0.6% Domestic Self-Sufficiency Rate] Hokkaido Wassamu Town's "Miracle Lamb" Comes to Osaka.

TenFields Factory Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Seika-cho, Soraku-gun, Kyoto; Representative Director: Hiroshi Ichikawa), which operates "Beer to Hitsuji," a Jingisukan specialty restaurant in Higashi-Umeda, Osaka, will officially begin offering "domestic lamb" from Wassamu Town, Hokkaido, an extremely rare product said to have a domestic consumption rate of only 0.6%. In conjunction, they propose an official pairing with their own craft beer, "Shiran Kedo.", which received the highest award, the 'Grand Prix', at the 96th Japan Food Selection. This delivers the appeal of "circular livestock farming" that utilizes local resources and the best combination recognized by food professionals.

**Background: 99.4% of lamb distributed in Japan is foreign. Only 0.6% is "domestic" as an option.**
Currently, most of the lamb consumed in Japan (99.4%) is imported, with domestic lamb accounting for only a mere 0.6%. Our company, with the desire to "convey the depth of Japanese food culture," has partnered with "Hitsujiya Robin Mura," a producer in Wassamu Town, Kamikawa Region, Hokkaido. We are now able to offer the exquisite quality meat nurtured by the climate of Wassamu, which has previously had limited market distribution, in Osaka.

**"Hitsujiya Robin Mura" achieves unique breeding utilizing the blessings of Wassamu Town.**
Mr. Junki Kato, who raises sheep in Wassamu Town, Hokkaido, practices "local production for local consumption breeding" that does not overly rely on imported feed.

**Luxuriously blended with Wassamu's specialty "Winter Cabbage" and "Stripe Pepo"**
By feeding the sheep highly sweet "winter cabbage" and "stripe pepo" (a Wassamu Town specialty, which are pumpkin seeds with very high nutritional value), the unique gaminess of lamb is suppressed, and the fat develops an elegant sweetness, while the lean meat acquires a rich umami.

**Carefully selected three breeds with different meat qualities**
They handle "Southdown" breed, known as the "King of Lamb," "Texel" breed, which has strong umami in its lean meat, and the classic "Suffolk" breed, maximizing the unique characteristics of each variety.

**"Ultimate Pairing" with beer that won the Food Selection "Grand Prix"**
The partner proposed for this rare domestic lamb is their own craft beer, "Osaka Beer Shiran Kedo."

This beer recently received the highest award, the 'Grand Prix', at the "96th Japan Food Selection." The experience of the beer's elegant aroma and crisp finish embracing the rich umami of the lamb is truly an ultimate combination "recognized by food professionals."
