À propos de cet ingrédient
Hokkaido and the broader northern Pacific produce ~60% of global Yesso scallops (Mizuhopecten yessoensis). Domestic Japanese consumption focuses on sashimi-grade adductor muscle; export volume drives substantial supply for premium frozen retail in China, Taiwan, and the US. Beyond the meat itself, Japanese R&D has commercialised scallop-derived supply chains — proteoglycan-rich shell powder used in cosmetic exfoliants, marine collagen extracted from scallop tissues, and calcium-fortified food ingredients from shell. Distinct from the existing 'hokkaido-marine-collagen' (which is fish-derived).

Hokuren Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives
ホクレン農業協同組合連合会
Hokkaido's federation of agricultural cooperatives, founded 1919. Aggregates supply for over 90% of Hokkaido's agricultural and dairy production: azuki beans, hokkaido scallops, dairy, beet sugar, soy and grain products, and increasingly potato- and beet-derived functional ingredient feedstock. The export division manages overseas sourcing relationships for fresh, frozen, and processed Hokkaido-origin agri-products. The aggregation tier means many overseas buyers reach individual Hokkaido producers via Hokuren first.
