CGC Sanma Kabayaki (Canned Pacific Saury)

CGC Sanma Kabayaki is a popular Japanese canned food product consisting of Pacific saury (sanma) broiled in a sweet soy-based glaze, a cooking style known as kabayaki. This product belongs to the CGC (Co-operative Grocers Chain) brand, which is a major private label group for independent supermarkets across Japan.

The brand originates from Japan, established by CGC Japan Co., Ltd. to support regional grocers. The fish used in these cans is typically sourced and processed within Japan, maintaining high standards for the domestic market. Ownership remains with CGC Japan, which serves as a massive cooperative umbrella for hundreds of medium-sized supermarket operators in the country.
