Experience the epitome of Japanese craftsmanship with this luxury canned tuna from Shimizu Foods. Only the most succulent 1% of belly meat from individually line caught albacore tuna harvested off the coast of Kesennuma, Miyagi, is used. Each fish is landed by hand to protect its pristine flesh.

Crafted by three seasoned artisans with more than 50 years of experience, each can is packed by hand using extra virgin olive oil, natural sea salt and a single bay leaf. The cans are then cellared for three to six months so the flavours can mature. Because the belly portion is so rare and the process so meticulous, only about 30 cans can be produced each month. This second release is limited to just 100 cans.

Shimizu Foods, founded in 1929, pioneered Japan’s tuna canning industry and the Ocean Princess line is its flagship brand. The Black Label series represents the pinnacle of their craft. This tuna toro melts in your mouth like the finest sushi – tender, buttery and rich. Enjoy it straight from the can with a sprinkle of flaky salt, drizzled over warm rice, or as part of an elegant antipasto platter. It also pairs beautifully with full‟bodied red wine or chilled sake.
