pacific saury has been a big delinquent in recent years.

When there is a good catch, they are a crowd-drawing panda that sells a single one for 100 yen, but four years ago in Japan, I saw half-sized ones costing 2 to 4 times the usual price.

This year, the initial price was a whopping 6,000 yen per fish (Kushiro).

Recently, Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture reportedly had the latest catch of saury ever.

The catch comes from the Kamchatka region, further north than Hokkaido. This year, there have been too few typhoons, causing the seawater temperature to rise significantly, and the feeding grounds where plankton gather have moved northward.

Pacific saury migrate tens of thousands of kilometers along the Pacific coast of Japan, but during the Little Ice Age in the Edo period, their largest feeding ground was off the coast of Choshi in Chiba, where the Kuroshio Current and the Oyashio Current collide.

Since the Meiji period, it has moved northward year by year, and today the area off the coast of Sanriku has become the largest fishing ground, with Ishinomaki and Kesennuma in Miyagi prefecture becoming the largest landing ports in the Orient.

Despite this situation with saury, Japanese supermarkets and restaurants in Singapore are also selling them at special prices under the label "Autumn Flavor. "

As someone who knows the situation, I can't help but wonder why the prices are so much lower than in Japan.

(From an industry perspective, much of the rice called "Japanese rice" is of this type.)

Each company quickly announced that they would stop producing sanma products.

We offer "Sanma simmered in soy sauce" from Kesennuma and "Sanma simmered in sweet and spicy sauce" from Ishinomaki , but these will be discontinued once last year's stock is sold out .

The great thing about canned food is that it can maintain its quality for more than three and a half years after packaging. Canned food has continued to evolve since the time of Napoleon, and because it has zero oxygen permeability, it is still the world's best preserved food.

So, for all you fish fans out there.

It's fine to eat frozen saury with a curved back or eat out, believing that this is the saury of the year , but we also hope you will try our freshly packed Sanriku saury series .

By the way, sardines and mackerel are currently in "normal" condition.

It's sad for fish lovers to wonder how long these popular fish will be able to maintain their position like Fujinomiya Yakisoba .
