Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Fishery processing occupation that makes shavings from sardines. Handles processes from preprocessing, steaming and boiling, drying, fermentation, to shaving.
Description
Sardine shavings manufacturers preprocess fresh sardines (remove entrails and wash), then go through processes such as steaming and boiling, drying, fermentation, and smoking to produce shavings. Temperature and humidity control and hygiene management in each process are important, affecting product quality and flavor. In the final process, they use traditional knives or shaving machines to shave thinly and uniformly, finishing for use in dashi broth or as sprinkles. Skilled techniques and experience are required.
Future Outlook
Demand is stable due to diversification of fish consumption and growing health consciousness. On the other hand, successors to traditional techniques are decreasing, making the training of technicians a challenge.
