It is a new brand launched by Minamisanriku Winery Co., Ltd.

"A PIECE OF MINAMISANRIKU" Brand Concept
Surrounded by the sea and mountains that nurture life, Minamisanriku is a treasure trove of rich nature and food from satoumi and satoyama.
Amidst the many producers and craftspeople who face nature and work with pride, the brand wants people to experience a piece of Minamisanriku's initiatives and delicious flavors. And by putting those pieces together, it hopes to bring a little bit of peace into everyday life.
"A PIECE OF MINAMISANRIKU" is an ongoing initiative that continuously creates new projects and products to bring that vision to fruition.
About the First Products of "A PIECE OF MINAMISANRIKU"
Here is an introduction to the first products launched by "A PIECE OF MINAMISANRIKU."
Coho Salmon Confit
This product uses "Miyagi Salmon," the top-grade brand among the farmed coho salmon produced in Miyagi Prefecture, which accounts for 90% of domestic production.
Among "Miyagi Salmon," producers carefully handpick the fattiest 3 to 4 kg coho salmon on board the ship and bleed them using the ikejime technique. By marinating them in oil and cooking them slowly at low temperatures, this confit is finished with a melt-in-your-mouth texture packed with the savory umami of coho salmon.
(1,296 yen including tax)
Oyster Butter Pâté
This product uses "Minamisanriku Togurakko Oysters," which were the first in Japan to acquire ASC farm certification. Among these, it generously features oysters harvested during the season when they are at their plumpest and have the richest, creamiest flavor.
After meticulous preparation, they are slowly simmered with Minamisanriku Winery white wine and aromatic vegetables, further concentrating the umami of the oysters.
By lavishly combining them with special butter made from fresh raw milk from the foothills of Mount Zao in Miyagi Prefecture, it is finished as a rich oyster butter pâté.
(1,296 yen including tax)
