Kanefuku to Showcase Flavorful Mentaiko Delights at Fabex Tokyo 2026

Kanefuku's Exciting Participation in Fabex Tokyo 2026

Kanefuku, a leading mentaiko specialty manufacturer based in Fukuoka, is set to make a flavorful appearance at Fabex Tokyo 2026. Scheduled to be held from April 15 to 17, 2026, at the renowned Tokyo Big Sight, this event is expected to attract a significant number of visitors, just like the previous year, which saw around 57,000 attendees. This will mark Kanefuku's fourth participation in this prestigious food and ingredient trade show.

At the Kanefuku booth, the spotlight will shine on their popular "Mentaiko Stick," which is made by removing the skin to provide only the flavorful roe. This convenient product is versatile enough to be enjoyed on its own or used in various culinary applications. Kanefuku positions its Mentaiko Sticks as an easy, hygienic, and frozen-storage-friendly option, making them a favored choice among consumers. To cater to all tastes, they will also be featuring non-spicy "Tarako" sticks.
