Japan's Best Fish. In a Tin.

Tinned in Japan curates premium, small-batch seafood from across Japan, offering tins that blend centuries-old culinary craft with modern design. We bring flavors and makers you won't find elsewhere - bridging tradition and taste for a new kind of tinned fish experience.

We handpick each product for its quality, regional story, and unforgettable flavor. Whether you're curious about Japan's coastal food culture or just love a good tin, we make it easy to explore. Everything is carefully curated, beautifully packaged, and fully translated for Western palates.

Not at all. Tinned in Japan features regionally distinctive tins made in small batches - not mass-produced items you'd find on a typical supermarket shelf. Many of our selections are considered premium even within Japan, often only available in their local regions or specialty boutique markets.

Each tin is packed and sealed in Japan, often just hours after the seafood is caught or harvested. We work with small regional workshops and local cooperatives, so everything stays fresh and close to the source - from sea to tin.

You'll discover regional specialties like miso-marinated mackerel from Hokkaido, Oysters from Hiroshima, and soy-butter scallops from Aomori. Expect a balance of umami, subtle sweetness, and savory oils - many rooted in Japanese home cooking.

No cooking needed! Our tins are ready to enjoy straight from the can. That said, some varieties taste even better when gently warmed - either in a pan or by placing the unopened tin in a hot water bath to enhance the aroma and flavor.

Serve it straight from the tin with steamed rice, noodles, or crusty bread. Or add to pastas, salads, or charcuterie boards. These tins are designed to be both snackable and meal-worthy.

Our tins are versatile enough for a quick weekday lunch and elevated enough to impress at your next dinner party. They're perfect for pairing with a glass of wine or sake, and they travel well.

We work with independent producers, cooperatives, and small canneries. Many are family-run, locally owned businesses. Our goal is to help them sustain their craft and legacy by connecting them with customers around the world.

Every purchase supports independent makers across Japan, including fishermen, canners, and family-run workshops. Many of them are based in coastal areas that rely on this work to sustain their communities. You're not just buying great seafood, you're helping keep these traditions alive.
