Canned tuna in oilcanning
(Block flakes)
"The 'canned tuna in oil' produced by Okinawa Prefectural Okinawa Fisheries High School is a practical training product made using albacore tuna caught by students in the Marine Technology Department during a 90-day sailing practical training. The entire manufacturing process, from tuna dissection, steaming, cleaning, sealing, weighing and packing, vacuum sealing, sterilization, inspection, and labeling, is done by hand by the students. The seasoning used is 'Shimamaasu,' a long-established local brand of salt from Itoman City, with which the school has been collaborating since 2022. It comes in block and flake types to suit different uses. The pop and cute package design was selected from entries submitted through an in-school competition. It is a masterpiece born from the collaboration between high school students and a local brand!" (General Studies Department / 2nd year / Ishigaki Haruki)

Winter melon and tuna (dark meat)
Tomato Curry
"This is a retort curry that utilizes the dark meat, an unused part of tuna caught during a sailing practical training. Students handled everything from planning and development to manufacturing and sales. It's a product that makes full use of nutrients such as iron, vitamin A, zinc, myoglobin, and taurine, and is also mindful of the SDGs. It uses winter melon and Chura carrots from Itoman and tomatoes from Tomigusuku, making it easy to eat even for people who don't like fish, and has a mild flavor that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Students from Okinawa Prefectural Okinawa Fisheries High School handled the procurement of raw materials, pre-processing, component testing, and inspection, while Okinawa Prefectural Southern Commercial High School was in charge of the package design. This curry is full of local charm, born from the collaboration and practical learning of local high schools." (General Studies / 3rd year / Shimabukuro Sae)
