World-class canning technology tempered in northernmost Japan
MARUHA NICHIRO has its plant in Soya, Hokkaido, where they ceaseless strive to seal in the flavor in season, SHUN, leveraging Japan’s renowned canning technology to deliver fresh red king crab year-round.
The Soya plant began operation in the late 1940s as an amalgamation of numerous local Hokkaido canneries. It has continued as a plant specializing in crab canning for over 60 years. We interviewed a MARUHA NICHIRO spokesperson about the canning technology that seals in the seasonal flavor. “At MARUHA NICHIRO, crab canning involves manual processes for the most part. We use a hatchet-like tool to crack the crab shells, and packing is also performed by hand, individually and with great care.”
Being a rural part of Japan, the area is blessed with many skilled, long-serving staff members, some of whom are approaching 70 years old. These are the workforce that keeps the plant going, with skill and efficiency comparable to their younger colleagues. Filled cans are further processed with high pressure thermal sterilization technology developed over two centuries, achieving a surprisingly long three-year shelf life.
It is the high quality of the ingredients coupled with the skillful handy work of these workers that enables us to deliver the whole taste of seasonal SHUN flavor to the dining table.
This luxury to be savored the fruit of superior ingredients and proven engineering is something we can truly recommend as a thoughtful gift to someone with your sense of appreciation.
