Savory seafood pancakes from a can don’t exactly sound appetizing, but will we eat our words?
canned food
Sea squirts, also known as sea pineapples, are a rare find in most parts of Japan, but now they come in canned form!
Vending machine gourmands rejoice! Coca-Cola’s Go:Good line has a new meal you can buy in a can and gulp down.
You’ll have to do more than make it look sexy to convince people in Japan this is shabu shabu.
Consider the following scenario: you’re having a chat with a friend about some of the high quality foods on the market out there. You mention some of the more refined dishes you’ve tried first hand and how, as much as you’d like to eat them day after day, doing so would undoubtedly leave a large hole in your wallet. If your friend responded by saying, “I have a product just for you. It’s got the high class factor, is easy on the finances, and is packed into a small can.”, I’m sure you’d think he’d lost the plot a little.
Inaba and other Japanese food companies beg to differ, and have developed a new set of canned food products that turn the notion that cheap ≠ quality on its head.
