Orkney Crab Soup on the menu in Hokkaido

In 2024 a small group of Japanese post grad students came to Orkney through a summer programme run by Robert Gordon University and sponsored by Nippon Foundation. Their itinerary included Skaill House, where they also heard about OJA. Afterwards we were contacted by a member of ISARIBI, a student group in Hakodate, interested in learning about Orkney and also telling us about their town.

At about 10 times the size of Orkney in population, Hakodate is Hokkaido’s third largest town, and was the first Japanese port to open to foreigners in 1854. For a time it was the most important northern port in Japan and, like Orkney, played a strategic role in the history of its country.

We started talking about the traditional foods of both places, and OJA sent them a recipe for Orkney Crab soup (kindly supplied by Orkney Crab in Stromness) and got this message from them a few days ago:

"I am writing to share some wonderful news regarding the recent Hakodate Food Festival. We served the Orkney crab soup recipe you shared with us, and it was a great success. Many visitors found the soup unique and thoroughly enjoyed it. Furthermore, there was a high level of interest in Orkney Crab, and the event served as a fantastic opportunity for people in Hakodate to learn about the Orkney Islands.” Mikihiro Hiramatsu

Today marks two years since the launch of Orkney Crab. Since that day, Orkney Crab has had a clear vision we are extremely proud of, and has been built on hard work, resilience, and a commitment to the highest quality of produce.

This year alone, we're proud to have taken the Orkney brand all across the world, showcasing our produce in Barcelona, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Dubai and Japan while continuing to supply our existing customers across the UK, Europe, China and more recently Vietnam. USA and Canada are next on the horizon. We've also been delighted to welcome customers to see firsthand our operations and the investments we've made to our factory here in Orkney.

The journey has brought its share of challenges and learning curves, but it’s also reinforced the strength of our team and the importance of staying true to our core values.

As we look ahead, our focus remains firmly on growth, sustainability, and continuing to deliver the highest standard of Orkney crab to our customers worldwide.

A huge heartfelt thank you to all our employees, suppliers, and customers who have supported us over the past two years- Orkney truly is the home of brown crab.
