Keishindo Makes Good Use Of Seafood Waste

June 27, 2021: 12:00 AM EST
The Nagoya-based Japanese snack maker is turning discarded food scraps such as shrimp heads and udon noodle scraps into sustainable shrimp crackers. The 150-year-old company is known for its shrimp crackers made from shrimp surimi (paste), wheat and soy, as well as whole grilled shrimps. Usually, only the flesh of shrimps is used, while the shrimp heads are discarded. With the help of high school students and a curry udon restaurant chain, the company developed a spicy curry-flavored shrimp cracker made with shrimp heads and edible off-cuts of udon noodles. The new product is sold online and in retail stores, as well as airport and train stations across the country. The firm is also open to export opportunities.
