In the Philippines / 現地での立ち位置
Chicharon is a snack of pork skin or meat fried until crisp, best enjoyed dipped in vinegar. In the Philippines it is a classic snack and pulutan (bar food). Pork King is Akabane Bussan's original brand, born to bring authentic chicharon to the Filipino community living in Japan, and made to Japanese quality standards. Its signature products are Balat (skin) and Laman (with meat), and it has earned strong support as a chicharon made in Japan.
* Not to be confused with chicharon of the same name from other companies. Pork King is an in-house brand planned and sold by Akabane Bussan.
Under the skies of Japan, the crunch of home rings out.
