Conclusion: rebuilding a 50-year butcher's machinery — 271% funded, 2,768 backers, live (Jun 2026).

Why you'll want to back it

A 50-year-old meat processor is rebuilding an ageing smokehouse that keeps breaking down, so it can carry its domestic, additive-free ham and sausage making into the next generation. Against a ¥10M goal (of roughly ¥30M total equipment cost) it has drawn over ¥27.1M from 2,768 backers (271%). It's their first campaign.

What you get

Domestic, additive-free hams, sausages and related tiers. Confirm price, contents and shipping dates on the official page.

Editor's note

It's All-in, so it proceeds even if it misses goal as long as you back before the deadline. For food and perishables, the things to check are delivery timing, storage and allergen labelling. A clean case of a “save our local food” story winning empathy. Figures as of 2026-06-21; campaign live.
