Redhorse Corporation (Headquarters: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; President and COO: Kensuke Yamada, hereinafter 'our company'), which operates regional revitalization as its core business, is working on product development with the aim of creating new value for local resources. We have recently developed 'Just Bake it! Exquisite Aritadori: Green Onion Salt Marinade that Brings Out the Umami' using Saga Prefecture's brand chicken 'Aritadori', and registered it as a furusato nozei (hometown tax return) gift for Tosu City, Saga Prefecture.
Based on the idea that "product development can be a catalyst to energize local regions," our company collaborates with municipalities and local businesses to develop new local products. Through this product, we hope that donors nationwide will experience the deliciousness of Saga Prefecture's proud brand chicken, "Aritadori," through a simple cooking method of just "taking it out of the bag and baking it."
The highest quality taste recognized by professionals. Saga's brand chicken "Aritadori".
"Aritadori" is a leading brand chicken representing Saga Prefecture, designated as a certified regional resource (a common return gift of Saga Prefecture). In 2024, it won the highest award, the Grand Prize, at the "16th Local Chicken and Brand Chicken Popularity Contest" hosted by the Meat Industry Exhibition Executive Committee.
Raised with lactic acid-fermented feed made from fruits, herbs, and seaweed, "Aritadori" is characterized by its lack of peculiar odor, appropriate chewiness, tender texture, and juicy meat quality rich in umami. It is raised under strict hygiene conditions at designated farms in Saga and Nagasaki, and is commercialized after undergoing rigorous inspections using X-ray detectors and other equipment.
Realized through meticulous processing. The "exquisite marriage" woven by chicken umami and green onions.
This product uses "Aritadori" and is processed by Yamada Shokuniku Co., Ltd.
For the ingredients, we lavishly used "thigh meat," characterized by its appropriate chewiness and deep umami. It is thoroughly mixed with a special green onion salt sauce that highlights the rich flavor of white and green onions and the richness of sesame oil, pursuing a simple yet profound taste.
The utmost attention to detail is the deliberate use of a "seasoning liquid mixed in a chilled state." It seals in the fresh aroma and rising flavor of the green onions, which are often lost with room-temperature seasonings.
We also focused on a generous volume of 500g per pack, enough to satisfy a family.
Adding color to the dining table on busy days by just "thawing and baking."
Because it is pre-seasoned, there is no need for the hassle of flavoring. Simply thaw and bake in a frying pan to complete an authentic dish. It plays a versatile role not only as a main dish for dinner but also as a side dish for bento boxes, rice bowls, and stir-fried vegetables. We have created a "reliable pre-seasoned meat" that provides peace of mind just by having it in the refrigerator.
From Wednesday, April 15, we started accepting donations on various portal sites such as Rakuten Furusato Nozei and Furusato Choice.
Through this product, we hope to spread the deliciousness of "Aritadori" to donors nationwide.
