SANKO MARKETING Co., Ltd.
FOODS (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Shigehiro Nagasawa, Stock Code: 2762, hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) is NESIC Land Aquaculture Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”).
We are pleased to announce the first in-store tasting sale of “Nensui Salmon,” a new brand of land-farmed salmon grown in factories such as NESIC’s recirculating land-based farm “Fuji Katsuragawa Factory.” It will be held at (MEGA Don Quijote Motoyawata store) from September 2nd (Monday) to September 4th (Wednesday).
Due to the effects of the intense heat and typhoons that continue for days on end, the shortage of fishery products is becoming more and more serious. Already, it is said that this fall’s salmon and saury catches are expected to be poor, and the recent typhoon No. 5 has caused mass deaths of trout and coho salmon, and the saury fishing has been postponed by an unusual 10 days to increase the amount of catches. Various parts of the seafood industry have been affected, including the lifting of restrictions.
In order to make fisheries sustainable, there is an increasing need for closed-circulation land-based aquaculture, which is not affected by changes in the natural environment and can provide stable growth and supply throughout the year, and is attracting attention in the fisheries industry. . Our company, which operates fisheries and restaurants nationwide, is working to make general consumers aware of the deliciousness of land-farmed domestic salmon, which can be stably provided even in the summer when salmon is off-season. As part of this, we will be selling “natural water salmon” in stores. The event will be held at Sakanata Betai (MEGA Don Quijote Motoyawata store), a fresh fish store that takes on the challenge of turning seafood into a sixth industry and preventing the modern shift away from eating fish. We aim to popularize and promote closed circulation land-based cultured fish.
On the day of the event, in addition to the first in-store display of “natural water salmon,” staff will be offering tastings and sales to customers, allowing them to experience the deliciousness of
land-farmed seafood. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we would appreciate it if you would consider interviewing us.
If you would like to be interviewed, please fill out the application form below and apply by 17:00 the day before your desired interview date.

“Natural water salmon” grown in a “closed circulation land aquaculture system (RAS)” using underground natural water will be released in August 2024!
Among land-based aquaculture, Nets Forest’s system is a
closed-circulating land-based aquaculture system that uses clean groundwater in a building like a gymnasium.
Aquaculture
We produce salmon using the RAS (hereinafter referred to as “RAS”) method. Since underground water is circulated, there is no invasion of bacteria from outside, and no vaccines or antibiotics are used, so salmon can be grown safely and securely.
At factories such as the Fuji Katsuragawa Factory (operated by NESIC Land Aquaculture), which has introduced Nets Forest’s RAS, the products are grown using natural underground water rather than sea or river water, and are completely medication-free and Anisakis-free.・We started selling “Tensui Salmon” as a new safe and clean salmon product in August.
It is less greasy than Atlantic salmon, and has a refreshing flavor that suits Japanese food culture such as Japanese cuisine and Edomae sushi.
We will start selling two types, fillet and smoked salmon, and plan to gradually expand the product lineup and sales locations by the end of 2024.
Official site: https://tennensuisalmon.com/
4-split fillet harrass set 8,424 yen (tax included)
3-part smoked fillet set 8,856 yen (tax included)
Smoke set 7,884 yen (tax included)
* SANKO MARKETING Co., Ltd. finds value in the potential of land-based aquaculture
FOODS sympathizes with Nets Forest’s “passion for the future of fish eating” and engages in efforts to spread awareness*
Our company, which operates “Sakanata Betai,” which is the first company to sell “natural water salmon” over the counter, sees great value in land-farmed seafood amidst the crisis of natural marine products. “Natural Water Salmon” is now on sale.
SANKO MARKETING FOODS Co., Ltd. Representative Director and President Shigehiro Nagasawa
Poor catches due to environmental changes are becoming more serious year by year, and as a wholesaler, we are concerned about the ability to provide seafood to consumers. I was worried that Japan’s diet would not be able to be protected if things continued as they were, but I felt hope in the “land-based aquaculture” that various companies were starting to tackle.
Until now, SANKO MARKETING FOODS
In order to popularize land-farmed seafood, restaurants actively sell land-farmed salmon and mackerel, and retail departments also hold land-based aquaculture festivals. As a result of seeing the value in land-based aquaculture and working on it, it has become a popular menu item at the restaurants we operate, and sales are increasing year by year in the retail department that handles marine products, and the image of land-based aquaculture among general consumers has changed a little. I feel that things are gradually changing for the better.
Nets Forest has been working on the development of land-based aquaculture systems with a strong desire to change the future of fishing industry by leveraging its advanced technological
capabilities, and by combining it with the skills of fisheries craftsmen, they have created safe, secure, and delicious “natural water salmon.” I did. We believe that one of our roles is to spread awareness of land-based aquaculture, and we want as many people as possible to learn about land-based aquaculture, which will be necessary for the future seafood industry, and the deliciousness of its marine products. We have decided to sell natural water salmon through one of our retail businesses, “Sakanata Betai.”
*Companies and fishing cooperatives that support the SANKO Group’s initiatives* Our company is actively engaged in initiatives to revitalize Japan’s fisheries industry as a whole, under the banner of “Give it your best to Japanese fisheries!” We would like to introduce the companies and fishing cooperatives that have supported us.
