Summary
A profession that manufactures tsukudani by cleaning and pre-processing raw shrimp, simmering it in a seasoning liquid such as soy sauce and sugar, and enhancing its shelf life.
Description
Shrimp tsukudani manufacturers perform selection, foreign matter removal, cleaning, and pre-processing of raw shrimp, then simmer it in seasoning liquid such as soy sauce, sugar, and mirin to produce tsukudani. To maintain product concentration and flavor uniformity, they monitor simmering time, temperature control, stirring, and concentration processes. After filling and packaging the product, they enhance shelf life through methods such as pressurized heat sterilization or vacuum packaging, and thoroughly conduct quality inspections and hygiene management (HACCP). They handle raw material procurement and process adjustments according to production plans, accommodating everything from small-batch multi-variety production to mass production.
Future Outlook
While demand for tsukudani products is stable both domestically and internationally, the advancement of automation and labor reduction makes skill inheritance and quality management skills even more important.
