## Gin no Spoon Oyatsu Nippon Select Tuna Flake Hydrating Fish Jelly
## Background of Release
In recent years, the average summer temperature has been on an upward trend. In Tokyo last year, 2025, approximately one-fourth of the year consisted of midsummer days (temperatures of 30°C or higher), indicating that extreme heat is becoming commonplace. Against this backdrop, cat owners have expressed concerns such as "my cat's appetite decreases in summer." Our survey shows that more than half of cat owners responded that "they increase the frequency of giving wet food or wet treats in summer," and sales of related products also grew last summer.
Therefore, we are launching "Gin no Spoon Oyatsu Nippon Select Tuna Flake Hydrating Fish Jelly," a limited-time product perfect for hot summers, which features abundant moisture and natural flavors from ingredients, nationwide.
