Okamura Foods Receives 'Norwegian Mackerel Contribution Award' for Second Consecutive Year

Okamura Foods, which operates a vertically integrated seafood business ranging from salmon farming to processing and wholesale, was recognized for its significant contributions to the popularization and awareness of Norwegian mackerel. The award was presented at the 'Norwegian Mackerel Appreciation Luncheon' hosted by the Norwegian Embassy's Fisheries Department on June 3.

The group focuses on salmon aquaculture projects both domestically and abroad, consistently managing the processing, sales, and global wholesale of seafood products, including salmon, salmon roe, and Norwegian mackerel. The company has focused on purchasing and selling Norwegian mackerel for many years, leveraging its product planning capabilities and partnerships with commissioned factories to ensure a stable supply to restaurant chains and major retailers. Its retail brand, 'Okamura Kitchen', features the 'SEAFOOD FROM NORWAY' logo on its packaging to signify quality and reliability, a mark also included on new items released in January 2026, such as 'Saba Saikyo-yaki' (grilled mackerel with miso) and 'Saba Kabayaki' (broiled mackerel with soy sauce).

Launched in 2021, 'Okamura Kitchen' provides convenient, ready-to-eat fish dishes that allow busy consumers to enjoy authentic seafood. With meticulous pre-processing and unique seasonings, the series has received favorable reviews from many customers. Okamura Foods remains committed to its mission of 'continuously delivering the blessings of the sea to people around the world' and will continue to act as a bridge connecting the fisheries businesses of both countries.
