We want to deliver the JAXA-certified space food mackerel cans developed by Wakasa High School in Fukui Prefecture to the whole country and the world!!
A team consisting of high school students who launched the "Space Mackerel Can Grounding Project," Fukui Bussan Co., Ltd., and Fukui Canned Food Co., Ltd. has created the mass-produced space mackerel can, called "Wakasa Space Mackerel Can."
Since the original product was made at school, the production volume was limited, and the price was high at 2,000 yen per can, making distribution difficult. The product we have now created uses Norwegian mackerel as the raw material, but it is made to closely resemble the original, including the use of kudzu starch and specific formulations. Most importantly, the price has been reduced to 700 yen (excluding tax) per can.
Currently, the project involves high school students in planning, illustration design, taste, pricing, and sales channels. This comprehensive participation serves as career education and creates a cycle where part of the sales profit is returned to the high school, contributing to the further development of Wakasa High School.
As a prefectural high school, we aim to promote Wakasa Obama not only within Fukui Prefecture but also nationwide and globally, as a treasure of Fukui.
Features:- 1. To prevent liquid from splashing out when opening the can in space, kudzu starch is used to increase viscosity, creating a texture similar to Mitarashi dango sauce.- 2. Based on advice from astronaut Noguchi, and considering that taste perception diminishes in space, the flavor has been made richer by increasing sugar content, resulting in a delicious and intensely flavored product.
