Despite the recent nationwide trend of declining fish consumption, the Kakujou Fish company continues to maintain robust performance. Despite the change in consumer behavior in Japan, the company has found ways to stay commercially successful. While it's not clear exactly how, nor when this trend began, this resilience demonstrates the flexibility and adaptability of this business within Japan's seafood industry.

Fish is a staple of the Japanese diet and forms a significant part of their food culture. However, in recent years, Japan has been experiencing a 'fish departure' phenomenon where consumption has been decreasing. This is a concern for many within the seafood industry. Still, how companies such as Kakujou Fish are managing to remain successful reflects positively on the industry's robustness.

In comparison to the US or EU, the fisheries sector in Japan holds a higher cultural significance and market share. While declining seafood consumption is also a noticeable trend in the West, the greater diversity in dietary habits there make the impact on the seafood industry less significant.
