About the Smoked House Series

The "Smoked House Aged Wiener," a representative product of the "Smoked House" series, was the first wiener in the industry to be certified under the Special JAS standard (now Tokutei JAS). Only pork is used as raw meat, and no binders such as starch are used. Furthermore, through 72 hours of aging, the meat's umami is brought out through two approaches: "quality" and "manufacturing method," resulting in a carefully crafted aged wiener. "Smoked House Aged Wiener" is characterized by its juicy meat juices, exquisite saltiness, and fragrant smoked flavor, and has received high praise and support from consumers for being "plump and juicy," "moderately salty and delicious," "pleasantly smoky," and "personally the No. 1 juicy wiener."

Additionally, a diverse product lineup is available, including "Lemon & Parsley" with a refreshing flavor of lemon and parsley.
