Maintaining the fresh quality for up to 6 months! Increasing storage and profitability!

Preface :

Want to increase seasonal whitebait “shirasu” inventory.

Want to keep a steady supply in restaurants all year round.

Implementation : 

Before implementing flash freezing technology into their business:

One of the main issues with products like whitebait is the fact that it is a seasonal product and a flux in terms of the amount that can be harvested and sent to restaurants can vary greatly depending on the weather, season, and day in which the whitebait is caught. Demand of the whitebait on the other hand is more consistent. Expected increase in demand has  always been higher during the weekend. The problem is that the weather is bad during high demand, the suppliers who are providing the whitebait may not be able to do so due to the inconsistent amount that can be caught on a day to day bases.

 Due to the fact that whitebait is delicate and the flavor can change quite easily from aging (takes only a few days for the flavor to change ) or regular freezing as the texture and flavor changes severely and the original flavor is ruined. That is until they had chance to see for themselves how flash freezing technology works. With several tests and consultation, they decided to purchase a flash freezer (in this case it was an Artlock freezer).

Results of Implementing Flash Freezing Technology :

With the use of flash freezing technology, they were able to increase storage of their whitebait 30 times over! Most fresh whitebait is recommended to be eaten a day or two after purchase from the whitebait provider, but with flash freezing technology and a storage unit with temperatures of -18 C, you can extend the storage period for minimum of 30 days after the whitebait is received from the whitebait supplier. This can be extended up to 3 to 6 months if the storage unit’s temperature is -30C ~ -40C.

Since flash freezers can freeze hot products as well, it gave the whitebait suppliers an opportunity to expand their product line up and possibly provide ready made meals where cooked food is mixed with the whitebait and provide these products to various businesses and customers across the country without worrying about the quality of the whitebait being negatively affected.
