Japanese seafood company exports seafood to Israel

As it seeks new foreign markets for the fatty white-fleshed fish, seafood company Rumi Japan has started exporting frozen yellowtail to Israel.

The company, based in Imabari in Ehime Prefecture, on Tuesday held a tasting event for food industry officials at the official residence of the Japanese ambassador to Israel, serving a variety of dishes using the fish, known as "hamachi," which is very popular in Japan.
