Combining local products with “frozen sleep” to bring added value to the nation!
HIRO CORPORATION supplies processed products made from Tokushima hamo (hamo) all year round under the local brand name “Tomoe Hamo”.
We have introduced our liquid freezer TOMIN to provide them with seasonal “hamo” all year round, without using any preservatives.
Their products are mainly hamo, abalone, and lobsters, and they also do a lot of OEM work, so we have about 700 items, almost all of which are frozen in our freezer. The biggest advantage of this machine is that it produces products that are sure to be the same no matter who makes them. They have tried quick freezers from other companies, but they always produce uneven products. However, with this liquid freezing machine, there is no irregularity even when it is used in large quantities. It is very helpful for processing companies that products are always produced in good condition, no matter who uses the machine. In particular, products using white meat and vegetable products combined with soups, which would normally be difficult to maintain satisfactory quality by freezing, are being produced well. Abalone, turban shells, etc. also show a clear difference in quality.” In a business that tends to be price-competitive, we asked if the liquid freezer TOMIN is useful. “If we continue to produce good products, the added value will increase on its own, and the freezing cost is reflected in the selling price,” said Director Hiroshi Shinomiya. Director Hiroshi Shinomiya said, “If we continue to make good products, the added value will increase on its own.
We also use it for publicity purposes, such as in our flyers, in which we emphasize the advantages of liquid freezing with the freezers.
