Mackerel (Masaba) and horse mackerel (Maaji) are bluefish widely caught in the seas around Japan, and both are highly nutritious, delicious, and healthy foods.
Mackerel is fatty, especially in the fall and winter, and its fat is rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. It is enjoyed throughout Japan in a variety of ways, including grilled, boiled, and as sushi material. The flesh of mackerel is silvery white and has a distinctive flavor.
Freshness is of the essence, and when it is sold at the market, great care is taken to control quality, such as transparency of the eyes and elasticity of the meat. We also focus on sustainable fishing and supply the fish while managing the resources.
Suiken Corporation dispatches employees to Norway to purchase freshly caught mackerel.
