Product, service, and business features

We cultivate high water temperature tolerant sakura trout using a breeding method that does not use genome editing. We farm cherry salmon, a species endemic to Japan, entirely within Japan, and our strength is that we do not use antibiotics and do not administer any medication. The salmon is raised using the "kakegashi" method, which is said to have a low odor, making it easy to eat for everyone. While many of the domestically produced salmon on the market today have their fertilized eggs imported from other countries, our strength is that we farm our salmon entirely within Japan.
