Fukuya Forays Into Canned Foods With Flavored Tuna
Fukuoka-based mentaiko maker Fukuya will begin selling canned tuna flavored with mentaiko on Mar. 2, the first such product of its kind. The company sells most of its products through directly owned retails outlets, but the new product, which will use high grade albacore harvested in Chiba Prefecture, is an attempt to spur demand for mentaiko outside of Fukuya’s standard offerings. Each 90g gram can will cost ¥270. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun 2/16
