In Suikoen, Uwajima, Okinawa the highest quality Soft-shell Turtle in the world is bred. Suppon from Suikoen is the most common Soft-shell Turtle served at Kyoto’s upscale Japanese-style restaurants. It is the best because here they raise the Soft-shell Turtles carefully for a period of 3-5 years, without using any artificial chemicals for the pool water or feed. During the harvesting period of the Soft-shell Turtle all the internal organs are removed and only the crucial restoring and beautifying components remain. These integral elements are delicately turned into a fine powder by a millstone in an effort to minimize change of its temperature. Although the millstone method takes more time and work than large-scale mechanized processing, a higher quality Soft-shell Turtle powder can be obtained for Suppon Capsules in this way without losing its vital and active nutrients.
In Suikoen, great care is taken to breed Soft-shell Turtles under conditions close to the natural environment. The pool water has water drawn from the underflow water of the Iwamatsu River, which is a very clear and clean stream. Other examples of the attention to quality and proper breeding care can be found below.

The features of Soft-shell Turtles bred in Suikoen (At other farms, soft-shell turtles are normally kept in a hothouse to artificially accelerate growth.) |

Breeders in Suikoen allow their Soft-shell Turtles to hibernate in their natural cycle from November until March. They also raise them to a proper marketable size over the period of 3 years At other farm locations, Soft-shell Turtles are normally raised without hibernation under the accelerated breeding system. As the development and nutrition of 1-year old soft-shell turtles are insufficient, breeders from Suikoen only make available Soft-shell Turtles that were raised over a 3 year period for commercial harvesting.

The Soft-shell Turtles are fed with home-made feed made of fresh small fish caught in the Uwa Sea, along with local carrots, and odorless radish leaves.

After taking a Soft-shell Turtle out of the pool, it is moved to a water tank and kept under 17 Celsius for 2-3 weeks. This is done during a period in which the Soft-shell Turtles engage in a period of fasting or food abstinence (hibernation). This guarantees flavor quality and consistency.

A Soft-shell Turtle is prepared by keeping only the shell and meat. The internal organs are discarded. (At other farms, the whole Soft-shell Turtle is normally used, therefore, the feed and some potential contaminants still remain in the stomach.)

After dissection, a Soft-shell Turtle is dipped with herbs. Then, it is smoke dried with cherry tree for 48 hours.

The smoked turtle is ground into powder by a millstone. As there is only a little thermal change, nutrients are kept intact and active as this process avoids destruction. At other farms, a Soft-shell Turtle is normally processed by a machine after its frozen. Therefore, nutrients are destroyed which degrades the benefits of Suppon.
