Its practical size helps restaurants minimize food waste.
Sold in an easy-to-use hamachi size, it is particularly popular with restaurants seeking versatility and efficient portion control.
From Mojako Harvest to Shipment
Carefully Selected Juvenile Yellowtail (Mojako)
While most aquaculture operations begin by purchasing juvenile fish,
we begin by carefully harvesting wild juvenile yellowtail (mojako) ourselves.
Because mojako are delicate and difficult to raise, we provide them with carefully selected, nutrient-rich feed.
From an early stage, we raise each fish with meticulous attention to its health and wellbeing.
Beer Yeast
Beer yeast in the feed naturally increases the levels of inosinic acid and glutamic acid, the key compounds responsible for rich umami.

Our Proprietary Processing Method
To preserve the exceptional flavor of Wakamusha, we use our own proprietary processing method to maintain peak freshness.
This process minimizes oxidation, allowing the flavor to deepen beautifully during aging.
Without this proprietary process, it cannot truly be called Wakamusha.
We also offer customized processing, including filleting and other specifications to meet our customers' needs.
These processing options help restaurants reduce labor and preparation time.
Our Dedicated Delivery System
We personally deliver Wakamusha directly from our farm.
From carefully raising mojako to processing and delivery, we ensure that Wakamusha reaches our customers at peak freshness.
This final step reflects our unwavering commitment to quality.
