Ito Ham sells a special brand of pork made from Kagoshima Black or Berkshire pigs (黒豚) called Kuro no Takumi (黒の匠) or roughly "black workmanship". Kagoshima is famous for black pigs and for Satsuma sweet potatoes (薩摩芋). This product claims an umami taste deriving at least in part from the pigs fed containing 10 to 20 percent Satsuma sweet potatoes.
