Great with rice or as a snack! Japan’s Delicious Canned Foods

Have you ever eaten Japanese canned foods?
This time, I will introduce you to Japanese canned foods that are delicious when eaten with rice or on its own as a snack!

The spiciness is its charm “MenTuna CanCan”

First, I will introduce you to “MenTuna CanCan” by Fukuya, which is famous for its spicy cod roe (mentaiko)!

　324 yen (tax included)
MenTuna CanCan is a canned food containing spicy cod roe and tuna.

It smells like normal tuna, but because it is flavored with spicy cod roe, it looks redder than normal tuna.
In addition, the spicy cod roe leaves your mouth feeling tingly from its mild spiciness.
Compared to other canned tuna, this one does not smell like raw fish and it is less oily too.
When I heated it in a microwave, the tuna became hot and it tasted spicier.
Adding mayonnaise for a milder taste or eating it with rice is also delicious!

Delicious Canned Foods “Canned Beef Black Pepper Flavor”

Next, I will introduce you to Meijiya’s “Canned Beef Black Pepper Flavor” from their Delicious Canned Foods Series.

　　450 yen (tax excluded)
This canned beef uses lean red meat.

Even with a small bite, the meat will melt in your mouth.
The more you chew, the more you can taste its savory flavors, and you can smell the black pepper seasoning too.
It initially smells like raw meat, but if you heat it in a microwave for a little while, the smell will go away.
It is a flavor that will go well with beer!

The sweet taste of miso is delicious◎ “Delicious Miso Flavored Stewed Mackerel”

Next, I will introduce Ito Foods’ “Delicious Miso Flavored Stewed Mackerel.”

　　188 yen (tax excluded)
It contains miso from Aomori Prefecture and 3 pieces of Japanese mackerel.

I thought that this would be delicious warm, so I transferred the contents to a plate and heated it inside a microwave.
The mackerel pieces are very big and filling.
The pieces are very soft, but the fatty areas close to the skin are particularly soft!
The miso is seasoned sweet, and these flavors are marinated in the mackerel very nicely.
You will feel even more satisfied if you eat this with some rice♪

The sweet sauce is appetizing “Yakitori and Egg”

Lastly, I will introduce Hotei Foods’ “Yakitori and Egg”!

　　300 yen (tax included)
It looked delicious at first glance, so I bought it.
Inside, there is one hard boiled egg and some chicken.

I thought that this would be delicious when warm too, so I heated it with a microwave.
The sauce is made from soy sauce and sugar, so it is sweet.
Thanks to this sauce, it was more delicious than I thought it would be.
The chicken is soft, and the egg is very flavorful too!
This would also be delicious with rice!
And those were some canned foods that would go well with rice or as a snack on its own!
In Japan, there are the normal, standard canned foods and then there are the unique, interesting canned foods. If you find one that interests you, please try it out!
