Delicious Tuna Jar Gift ♡

Canned tuna is a representative of easy and delicious ingredients. Many households probably have canned tuna on hand.

Did you know there is a gift of tuna in a jar instead of canned tuna?

Here it is.

"Otuna," a luxury tuna jar that is popular as a gift. ♡

How "Otuna" Was Developed ♡

"Otuna" was developed by Hitoshi Sekine, who worked in a fresh fish store before opening a small restaurant, handling fish for over 20 years.

One day, he casually made oil-preserved tuna himself and found it very delicious, which led him to become hooked on tuna.

After five years of developing a perfect tuna recipe, "Otuna" was born.

It seems he meticulously selects the right tuna at the market and is particular about the oil used.

Rather than mass production, it is handmade one by one in a lab located in Yaizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, the birthplace of canned tuna.

By the way, the product name "Otuna" is a pun meaning "something that connects (Tsuna) with important (Tai-se-TSuna) people" ♩

Which Flavor Will You Choose From 12 Varieties? ♡

At the "Otuna" store located in Ikejirio, Setagaya, Tokyo, you can taste various tuna jars. ♡

"Otuna" offers a total of 12 flavors.

They all look delicious, and it’s hard to choose…!

☑ Plain

☑ Garlic & Oregano

☑ Dried Tomato & Basil

☑ Organic Grain Mustard

☑ Porcini

☑ Shima Chili Pepper

☑ Real Sansho Pepper

☑ Perilla Miso

☑ Arrabbiata

☑ Genovese

What is the Price of "Otuna"?

The price is between 1,250 yen and 1,450 yen per jar.

Many people buy them in sets of 2-3 as gifts.

Tuna that costs over 1,000 yen per jar is something you don't often buy for yourself, so it's nice to receive it as a gift.

It has actually been featured several times in magazine articles about gifts to bring when visiting someone. ♡

The outer box containing the jar also has a sophisticated and stylish design.

The pun of "connecting (Tsuna) with important (Tai-se-TSuna) people" is auspicious, making it perfect for wedding favors and celebratory gifts.
