Firefly Squid from Toyama Bay

Daiichi Foods Co., Ltd. (Toyama)

″Firefly Squid from Toyama Bay″ is processed using the world’s fastest ultra-rapid freezing technology within 12 hours of being caught in Toyama Bay. This technique ensures that we deliver freshness and seasonal flavor to our customers. Despite its small size, it boasts rich flavor and nutrients, making it a premium ingredient that evokes the arrival of spring. Daiichi Foods Co., Ltd., headquartered in Toyama Prefecture, is a company engaged in the manufacturing and wholesale distribution of meat and seafood products. We specialize in offering authentic products that emphasize both quality ingredients and processing techniques, utilizing domestically sourced red chicken and seafood from Toyama Bay. In the development of Firefly Squid from Toyama Bay, we overcame the challenge of maintaining freshness and employed a high-quality freezing method to preserve the freshness and flavor of the ingredient. This method involves immersing the ingredients in a liquid at -35°C, increasing the freezing speed from the surface to the center by four times compared to conventional methods. As a result, it maintains freshness even after thawing, enabling the utilization of each individual squid, thereby contributing to the prevention of food waste. Additionally, it ensures safety by storing it at -25°C or below. With no dripping, it can be used directly in various dishes. Thawing can be done in about 10 minutes under running water or at room temperature, allowing for versatility in dishes such as sashimi, shabu-shabu, and pasta. Enjoy the blessings of Toyama’s sea at home with ease.
