Milk from Tokachi farms is set with animal rennet, and local water is added to the milk to lower the lactose. The pressed, semi-hard cheese is polished during ripening with salted local water carrying Brevibacterium linens, for at least 8 weeks. Soft Tokachi water keeps the smear aroma milder than in European raclette.

Brevibacterium linens
Water taken from the Tokachi region is added to the milk to lower the lactose concentration. The specification links this to controlling lactose before pressing so the cheese does not over-ripen.

At a glance
Milk from Tokachi farms is set with animal rennet, and local water is added to the milk to lower the lactose. The pressed, semi-hard cheese is polished during ripening with salted local water carrying Brevibacterium linens, for at least 8 weeks. Soft Tokachi water keeps the smear aroma milder than in European raclette. Made in 5 steps over 56 days. The longest step, ripen, takes at least 56 days (Tokachi Raclette). Brevibacterium linens, applied in the salted polishing water during ripening does most of the fermenting.
A Japanese raclette whose milk is diluted with, and whose rind is polished with, soft Tokachi water, which keeps the smear aroma milder than in European raclette.
Milk
Raw cow milk from Tokachi farms
Ripening
At least 8 weeks
Producers
Eight farms or workshops made it in 2018; output grew from 120 pieces in 1992 to about 72 000 in 2018
The specification says the cheese is made from fresh raw milk (生乳) and does not say whether the milk is heat-treated. It sets the pH at shipping at 5.2 or more, salt at about 1.8 % and ripening at 8 weeks or more. Japan's 2014 ordinance revision added a Listeria monocytogenes component standard for soft and semi-hard natural cheese, and the specification calls Tokachi Raclette a semi-hard natural cheese; the ministry's notice lists pH, water activity and storage at 6 °C or below (2–4 °C preferred) among ways to hold Listeria growth down.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes; Japan's 2014 ordinance revision added a component standard for soft and semi-hard natural cheese, and the specification calls this cheese a semi-hard natural cheese.
Tokachi dairy farmers began making farm cheese in the 1980s after milk surpluses, invited a French AOC cheese leader in 1990 and trained in France. Kyodo Gakusha Shintoku Farm sold the first Raclette in 1992.
