Maruichi Okada Shoten Co., Ltd., headquartered in Sapporo, Hokkaido, operating under the slogan "Contributing to the world through food," has released a new line of canned seafood products.
The lineup includes two varieties of saury cans from Hokkaido Nemuro - "SANMA-Hokkaido Nemuro Saury" in sweet soy sauce and yuzu salt flavors - and two varieties of sardine cans - "IWASHI-Hokkaido Sardine in Soy Sauce" with chili pepper and black pepper - totaling four products.
The saury and sardine used in these products are caught at Hanasaki Port in Nemuro, Hokkaido!
The saury comes from catches at Nemuro, which boasts the highest landing volume in Japan. These fresh, fatty fish are the pride of the region.
The sardines use the premium branded "Nemuro Nanasei" (Seven Stars), a luxurious ingredient.
Both the saury and sardines are fresh enough to be served as sashimi. The products also feature special fishing techniques and skilled artisans who carefully hand-prepare and pack each fish one by one.
Enjoy these canned products filled with delicious flavors and dedication from Japan's easternmost point, made possible only by using fresh, raw ingredients.
Stylish IWASHI and SANMA Cans! Full Lineup of 4 Varieties
The products debut with stylish designs reminiscent of international canned goods!
SANMA-Hokkaido Nemuro Saury Sweet Soy Sauce Flavor
Fresh saury caught at Hanasaki Port in Nemuro, Hokkaido, is seasoned with minimal use of chemical seasonings, using Hokkaido-produced soy sauce and sugar as the base.
The sweet and soy sauce flavors are beautifully balanced in this product.
This flavor profile is approachable for all ages, from children to adults.
SANMA-Hokkaido Nemuro Saury Yuzu Salt Flavor
Fresh saury caught at Hanasaki Port in Nemuro, Hokkaido, is prepared with minimal use of chemical seasonings, featuring julienned yuzu for a refreshing, crisp taste. A sophisticated adult flavor.
The simple salt-based seasoning allows you to fully appreciate the natural umami and flavor of the saury.
IWASHI-Hokkaido Sardine in Soy Sauce (with Chili Pepper)
Nemuro's branded sardine "Nemuro Nanasei" is seasoned with soy sauce using minimal chemical seasonings.
The addition of chili pepper provides a spicy kick that stimulates the appetite and makes you crave rice.
The flavor pairs well with both Japanese and Western cuisine.
IWASHI-Hokkaido Sardine in Soy Sauce (with Black Pepper)
Nemuro's branded sardine "Nemuro Nanasei" is seasoned with soy sauce using minimal chemical seasonings and finished with spicy black pepper.
The aroma of black pepper tightens the flavor and pairs excellently with the fatty sardine.
Recommended for pasta arrangements and as a snack with alcoholic beverages.
Flower Petal-Style "Kikutsume" Method - Skilled Artisan Craftsmanship
The bite-sized cylinder-cut sardine and saury pieces are arranged using the traditional "kikutsume" (chrysanthemum packing) method.
When you open the can, the fish appears arranged in the shape of chrysanthemum petals - a beautiful presentation that showcases the skilled artisans' expertise. While this hand-packed process is time-consuming, requiring careful attention with each piece, the tightly packed arrangement prevents the fish from breaking apart.
Perfect Indoors and Outdoors!
These products have long shelf lives, making them reliable emergency provisions for disasters.
The completely sealed, compact cans are convenient to carry. The lids open easily without a can opener, making them ideal for camping and outdoor activities.
Treasure Trove of Health and Beauty Nutrients
Saury and sardines are rich in essential "protein" for beauty and health, along with "DHA" and "EPA" important for brain health, and "calcium" that supports strong bones. These products allow you to efficiently consume these nutrients deliciously.
Enjoy these premium products filled with Hokkaido's ocean bounty and traditional craftsmanship as a snack with drinks or as a meal accompaniment.
