Here are the features of the new product:

These alternatives include fish mince and konjac, contributing to sustainable development considering the conservation of marine resources.
2. **Price**: Priced at 498 yen including tax.
3. **Consideration for SDGs**: The development of “Daitai (Alternative) Seafood Bowl” incorporates considerations for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, the aim is to promote sustainable food production and consumption.
