Kakujo Fishery's Renewed Partnership with Oisix Niigata Albirex BC

Kakujo Fishery Holdings Co., established in Teradomari, Niigata, is excited to announce the renewal of its sponsorship contract with Oisix Niigata Albirex Baseball Club for the 2026 season. Building on the enthusiastic support shown in the previous season, this partnership is set to enhance the overall experience for fans and local communities alike.

As part of this renewed agreement, the Kakujo Fishery logo will continue to proudly feature on the left side of Oisix Niigata Albirex BC's helmets. This season, the logo will also appear on the left side of the players' caps, reinforcing their commitment to supporting the team. Under the guidance of manager Takeda, the team's visuals will showcase their strong partnership with Kakujo.

A Promising Season Ahead

The 2026 home games for Oisix Niigata Albirex BC will kick off on March 21 and 22. The previous season saw a significant increase in attendance, with total spectators surpassing 100,000 for the first time in the franchise's history, reflecting a growing connection with the local community.

Kakujo Fishery is not just about sponsorship; they have made notable contributions to player development, successfully securing the most draft picks in the club's history at last year's professional baseball draft conference. With renowned figures like Masumi Kuwata joining as Chief Baseball Officer and Ryuhei Matsuyama as a player-coach, the team is laying down the groundwork for a competitive future.

Culinary Excellence at the Stadium

The spirit of Kakujo Fishery is closely aligned with the team's ambition of becoming “the most delicious baseball team in Japan.” To this end, they have pledged to provide exquisite stadium gourmet that features local ingredients and exclusive menu items only available at the stadium.

One standout item is the “Shikaku Don,” a seafood bowl available exclusively at their Teradomari location and the stadium. Launched with tremendous success, this bowl features an abundant combination of sea urchin, salmon roe, shrimp, and tuna, and quickly became a top-selling product, with 27,000 servings sold within a year. Kakujo Fishery’s commitment to quality has earned this dish recognition and accolades, including the top gold award in the “Delicious Food Best Election 2025.”

Diverse Gourmet Offerings Await

Kakujo will not only offer the Shikaku Don at the stadium; fans can look forward to a variety of seafood-focused stadium dishes designed to energize both their taste buds and spirits. From flavorful “Banya Soup” at 500 yen to the “Negitoro Ikura Don” at 800 yen, the offerings are crafted with the same care and quality as their fresh fish.

This collaboration aims to connect with local fans and create a vibrant atmosphere where enjoyment of food and sport coexist.

Community Engagement and Local Support

Since its establishment in 1974, Kakujo Fishery has nurtured close relationships with the local community. The sponsorship with Oisix Niigata Albirex BC is not merely a business initiative, but a commitment to promote sports development and support the regional population.

Hirokazu Hayase, Executive Director at Kakujo Fishery, expressed the company’s ambition to contribute positively to the community through this partnership, fostering a sense of pride and togetherness that goes beyond just baseball.

Conclusion: Together Towards a New Dimension

As the season approaches, Kakujo Fishery is more dedicated than ever to supporting Oisix Niigata Albirex BC. This collaboration looks to strengthen community ties and create unforgettable experiences for fans. Through high-quality cuisine and a passionate approach to the sport, Kakujo Fishery is poised to energize the local sports scene, bringing together fans for an exciting 2026 season.
