Lamb meat basics
Lamb meat is not yet familiar to Japanese dining tables, but in Europe it is considered the main character in meat dishes along with veal. Lamb meat, which is obtained from lamb under one year old, is softer, more flavorful than the mutton, a parent, and is characterized by its pale color. Chilled and frozen products are mainly available from New Zealand and Australia on the market, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of parts.
Parts and characteristics of lamb meat
Lamb meat has several typical parts. The familiar lamb chops are loin meat cut out with a single rib cage attached, and come in loin chops and rib chops.
