Nutrient-Rich Oily Fish Power

Mackerel is a highly nutritious blue fish, sometimes called the "supplement of the sea."

It contains 624mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and 156mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), which is said to thin the blood and help prevent arteriosclerosis.

DHA also helps activate nerve cells in the brain, and is expected to support memory maintenance and help prevent dementia.

It contains 22.1g of high-quality protein and plenty of vitamin D, which helps with calcium absorption, and is packed with a balanced range of nutrients essential for maintaining good health.

Kaneyoshi — Founded Over 100 Years Ago, Growing Alongside the Sea of Nemuro

The history of Kaneyoshi Co., Ltd. dates back to the early Taisho period.

Kaneyoshi began as a fishing business in the rich waters of Nemuro City, Hokkaido — the easternmost point of mainland Japan — and has grown alongside the bounty of Nemuro's seas for over 100 years.

In the Showa era, the company developed into a fishing company specializing in salmon, trout, and saury, setting sail from Nemuro Fishing Port to harvest seafood throughout the seasons.

From fishing to processing - the desire to "make fish more accessible"

In 1989, with the desire to make it easier for people across the country to enjoy Nemuro's abundant seafood, the company entered the seafood processing industry.

By handling everything from fishing to processing, we have built a system that can guarantee freshness and reliable quality.

In 2008, driven by a desire to make it easier for people to enjoy fish and to reverse the decline in fish consumption, we began developing our line of retort simmered fish products.

We started with simmered saury and gradually expanded our lineup to include sardines, mackerel, scallops, and Atka mackerel.

It has now grown into a bestseller, with cumulative sales exceeding 20 million packs.

The Finest Ingredients, Nurtured by the Waters of Nemuro

Nemuro is one of Japan's leading fishing cities, surrounded by three seas: the Pacific Ocean, Nemuro Bay, and the Sea of Okhotsk.

It has long been known as a major landing port for salmon, trout, saury, king crab, and other fish, and is blessed with abundant marine resources.

Kaneyoshi uses seasonal fish caught in Nemuro. Because the fishing grounds are located close to the processing plant, the fish can be processed immediately after being caught, ensuring that the freshness of the fish is preserved in the products.

Traditional Craftsmanship & Reliable Quality

Kaneyoshi's retort simmered food series is characterized by its "softness that allows you to eat even the bones" and "seasoning that brings out the flavor of the ingredients."

Using a uniquely developed seasoning liquid, the technique of bringing out the fish's natural umami flavor while simmering it until tender even down to the bone has been cultivated through many years of experience and trial and error.

We have also acquired Hokkaido HACCP certification and practice hygiene management based on international standards.We conduct strict quality checks at every stage of the process, from receiving raw materials to shipping the products.

Bringing the bounty of Nemuro's ocean to the dining tables of people all over the country.

With over 100 years of history and tradition, as well as solid technical capabilities, we will continue to create products that are loved by everyone as the "Kaneyoshi brand" from Nemuro, Hokkaido.
