A tasting event in Fukuoka City on May 18 featured a marinated dish using the fish, which developers said had less odor and a stronger aroma due to the vitamin C content of the strawberries. The startup also developed a heat-tolerant strain capable of surviving water temperatures up to 22 degrees Celsius, supporting aquaculture in Kyushu as sea temperatures rise. The product will be served for two months starting June 1 at a restaurant inside ONE FUKUOKA HOTEL before wider distribution is pursued. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.web.nhk\/newsweb\/na\/nb-5010033215\" target=\"_blank\">NHK News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000934.000017692.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nishinippon Railroad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fnn_amaou-sakuramasu-debuts_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1142%2C860&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1142\" height=\"860\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-177810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fnn_amaou-sakuramasu-debuts_2026_cl.jpg?w=1142&amp;ssl=1 1142w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fnn_amaou-sakuramasu-debuts_2026_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C226&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fnn_amaou-sakuramasu-debuts_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C771&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fnn_amaou-sakuramasu-debuts_2026_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C578&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto: Nishinippon Railroad<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
