About Pure Salmon Japan

Raising salmon closer to home.

Pure Salmon Japan is the company behind a land-based Atlantic salmon farm in Tsu, Mie Prefecture. Backed by 8F-managed funds and other investors, we bring together specialist expertise, technology and a team based in Mie.

Alongside the facility, we are building the skills and the operating practices needed to run it, so that salmon for Japan can be produced in Japan.
