Dongwon Industries Begins Distribution of 'K Bluefin Tuna Sashimi' Never Frozen

Available at Emart, Lotte Mart, Hyundai Department Store, and Naver Brand Store

Consumers can now enjoy domestic bluefin tuna sashimi that has never been frozen.

On June 10, Dongwon Industries announced that it will begin full-scale distribution of domestic bluefin tuna. The product will be available for purchase at major retailers such as Emart, Hyundai Department Store, Lotte Mart, and through the Naver Brand Store.

Dongwon Industries will leverage its 57 years of experience in refrigeration, processing, and cold chain logistics to purchase bluefin tuna caught by coastal fishermen in Korea and offer it as sashimi. The tuna is never frozen at any stage from catch to distribution, maximizing freshness and delivering a rich, deep flavor.

Recently, due to climate change and rising sea temperatures, the catch of bluefin tuna along Korea's coasts has surged. However, coastal fishermen have struggled to secure distribution channels for their catch. In response, Dongwon decided to purchase bluefin tuna caught by these fishermen, process it quickly, and deliver it to consumers through its own distribution network.

A representative from Dongwon Industries stated, "We are now able to quickly commercialize newly available coastal resources resulting from climate change and introduce them to consumers," adding, "We will continue to expand the distribution base for Korean marine products by fostering co-prosperity with local coastal fishermen."

Meanwhile, domestic bluefin tuna sashimi can be purchased at the following locations: Emart Ansan Gojan, Dongtan, Yeongdeungpo, Cheonggyecheon, Jukjeon, Gwacheon, Suwon, Yeonsu, Mia, Seosuwon, Bundang, Mapo Gongdeok, Hanam branches; Lotte Mart Eunpyeong, Seocho, Jamsil, World Tower branches; and Hyundai Department Store Sinchon, Pangyo, Trade Center, Apgujeong, Yeouido, Jungdong, and Cheonho branches.
