Ezo Venison is gathering attention as a healthy food
Venison is regarded as a high-class food in Europe. It is healthy meat, low in fat and calories and rich in iron and flavor, and is rapidly gaining popularity with Japanese people. In Hokkaido, ezo deer are drastically increasing in numbers, and causing untold damage to farm produce. Developing products such as venison sausages and tinned venison as well as selling fresh meat are current ways in which Hokkaido people are tackling the deer overpopulation problem.
