Summary:

The Japanese market has two pork markets: delicious or healthy. The Japanese consumers accept Canadian pork and it is sold chilled (not frozen) beside domestic Japanese pork. The most famous type of pork in Japan is the English Berkshire Pork (Kurobuta). It costs a lot more than regular pork but it is known for its great taste. Tokyo X pork is derived from the Beijing Black Pig. It is known for its marbling ability, which directly improves the flavour. This pork in Canada would cost about twice as much as regular pork. Golden Pork/Super Golden Pork are very highly marbled. It took 50 years to create Golden Pork from the lines of Large White, Landraces, and Duroc (Super Golden Pork was created from Duroc, Large White, and English Berkshire). Super Golden Pork is the most expensive on the Japanese market. Smithfield in the US has a hand in marketing these products. Japanese value tenderness the most, which is why highly marbled pork is desirable in Japan.
