Berkshire Hogs?
 

Anyone know which butchers have them in vancouver?

Nikuya in Richmond has them (sorry, I know you said Vancouver but wanted to throw one option out there incase no one else replies).

For the non-gastronomically nerdy, Berkshire pork is highly valued because it is super marbled (think Wagyu beef).

Went to Pied-a-terre and they did a phenomenal job.

Never even considered getting my hands on it, just assumed it'd be too pricey.
So if anybody's got a good source, share the wealth!

ahhh kurobata pork.

KUROBUTA. It's just Kurobuta - no need to add the 'pork,' as 'buta' means pork/pig.

kurobata tonkatsu ^_^

Copa Cafe @ Cambie and 23rd supposedly has kurobuta pork chops.

Where's that tonkatsu from?
I try my best to get chicken-katsu instead cause I find most places tend to overcook the pork. But kurobuta would be moist enough to get :drool

Maisen, Harajuku Tokyo :P

Paid over 10 bux a pound and it was frozen at gran island, Nikkuya wants 25$/lb to individuals :( Anyone got better pricing? It's the shoulder aka butt cut i'm intrested in.
