Before you cook
- Which boar cut fits a hot pot?
- These hot pots use thin belly or shoulder-loin slices. Do not replace them with thick shoulder cubes without allowing a much longer simmer. Each recipe names the cut and thickness.
- Can I serve wild boar pink?
- These recipes do not use rare cooking. Check the center with a probe and maintain at least 75°C for at least one minute, following the linked MHLW guidance. Color alone is not the test used here.
- What grows near the boar sources?
- The Yamato guide documents lettuce and onion; the Osaki guide identifies Kamiibano taro and Matsuyama seri. These are regional crop records, not a live inventory or a promise of a combined delivery.
