A total of 40 new products were announced.

Expanding the “Tsukihana” Canned Mackerel Line

Among the new canned offerings, “Mackerel in Tomato Sauce” has been added to the popular “Tsukihana” series, a top-selling brand made from large, fatty domestically sourced mackerel. While the series has traditionally resonated with consumers in their 50s to 70s, the tomato-based flavor is designed to appeal to younger consumers in their 20s to 40s. In addition to being enjoyed on its own, the product is positioned as a versatile ingredient for dishes such as pasta and curry. The can contains a net weight of 200g (solid weight: 140g).

First Halal-Certified Fish Sausage

In the growing fish sausage market, Surimi Foods will release “Fish and Cheese Sausage” on March 1. This product is the company’s first halal-certified item, produced at a domestic partner factory. Development was driven by the aim to “allow more people to enjoy fish sausage with peace of mind, regardless of religious or cultural differences,” amid a nearly 70% increase in foreign residents in Japan over the past 10 years.

The sausage contains four types of halal-compliant cheesecheddar, parmesan, gouda, and mariveaux. Each package includes two 50g sticks, designed as a single serving with a tear-off film for easy opening.

New Freeze-Dried Miso Soups Highlight Innovation

Responding to rapid market growth in freeze-dried foods, two new FD miso soups will also launch on March 1.

“Fragrant Clam Miso Soup” features the umami of four types of dashibonito, mackerel, dried sardines, and clams—with clams produced using a patented manufacturing process to preserve flavor. Each serving weighs 7.8g.

“Algae Miso Soup – Spirulina” draws inspiration from the Japan Pavilion at last year’s Osaka-Kansai Expo. Spirulina is added to a balanced blend of bonito, kelp, and shiitake mushroom dashi, creating a distinctive green miso soup. Each serving contains 10.4g and delivers over 60 nutrients, including protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Commercial Frozen Foods for Elderly Care

In the commercial frozen food segment, the company will introduce “White Meat Tempura (Boneless)” for elderly care facilities. Made with bite-sized Alaska pollock, the boneless, pre-fried product ensures safety and quick preparation via oil frying or steam convection cooking. It is available in 1 kg (50 pieces, 20g each) and 600 g (10 pieces, 60g each) formats.
