Astronaut Soichi Noguchi (55), who started a long-term stay at the International Space Station (ISS), revealed on his YouTube how he eats canned mackerel developed by Fukui Prefectural Wakasa High School (Obama City, Fukui Prefecture). .. On the 27th, the students who saw the video thanking them for being "very delicious" were delighted with "very happy".

Mr. Noguchi ate a mackerel can that was heavily seasoned with soy sauce and sugar for the space where the taste was dull. While putting it in his mouth one after another with a fork, he said with a smile, "The fish is juicy and the soy sauce is soaked in it and it is very delicious. Thank you to all the high school students."

Mitsuri Nishimoto, a second-year student at the same school who is working on mackerel can research, said, "I am very happy to have eaten a lot." Yasuyuki Kosaka, a teacher who has been involved in development for many years, also said with deep emotion, "I finally realized my dream. I want to thank the teachers and students who have been involved so far."
