GFC offers a wide variety of new products ranging from Japanese to Western cuisine and desserts, strongly supporting menu development for the food and beverage industry.

Roasted Chicken Skin [Sliced]

Domestic chicken skin is carefully roasted to remove excess fat while enhancing its natural umami. Lightly salted with a clean aftertaste, this product is ideal as a snack or small side dish. It can be enjoyed in various ways, such as with ponzu, basil, or as a pizza topping.

Kinmedai Marinated in Herb Vinegar

High-fat kinmedai (splendid alfonsino) is sliced and soaked overnight in saltwater to concentrate its flavor and achieve a mild, smooth saltiness. The gentle acidity of rice vinegar and aromatic spices enhance the fish’s refined taste. Ready to use after thawing, this product adds seasonal and premium appeal to appetizers and drinking snacks.

Truffle-Infused Colorful Meat Loaf

A luxurious meat loaf combining the rich flavors of pork, chicken, and beef, enhanced with aromatic truffle. Colorful vegetables are added for an attractive cross-section, creating a visually impressive dish. Ready-to-slice, it adds elegance to celebratory meals, hors d'oeuvres, and buffet menus.

Shrimp Simmered in Aromatic Broth

Black tiger shrimp are boiled in salted water, then simmered in a Western-style seasoning broth and aged for one full day to extract their full umami. Garlic and broth add aromatic depth, while lemon juice provides a refreshing finish.

Two-Leg Octopus in Sweet Vinegar Marinade

Marinated in a light sweet vinegar sauce, this product highlights the firm texture and rich flavor of rock octopus. Its simple seasoning makes it suitable for osechi components, vinegared dishes in kaiseki cuisine, or creative reinterpretations.

Pourable Zunda Tofu

With a smooth, pleasant texture, this zunda (edamame) tofu is easy to serve and adapt. Seasoned with salt to enhance the natural edamame flavor, it is a versatile dish ideal for appetizers and small side dishes.

* A simple-style sesame tofu is also available in the same series.

Shrimp and Whitebait Simmered Dish

Small shrimp and whitebait from Lake Kasumigaura are carefully simmered to create an elegant, umami-rich tsukudani (simmered dish). The contrasting white and red colors add festive charm, making it perfect for celebratory occasions and traditional Japanese New Year dishes.

Fig Cheese Cake

Fig puree is kneaded into the batter, delivering a delightful pop-in-the-mouth texture throughout the cake. Gentle sweetness and fruity notes spread evenly, creating a satisfying and non-cloying flavor profile with textural contrast.

Mini-Cut Jelly [Mango]

Capturing the rich sweetness and floral aroma of mango, this mini-cut jelly offers a fun, jiggly texture. Its vibrant mango color enhances menu presentation and can be used in summer dishes, beverages, or as a dessert ingredient.

In addition, many other new products have been introduced.
