KYODO NEWS - 23 minutes ago - 21:00 | All, JapanYakitori has become the first canned meat product certified by Japan's space agency, meaning astronauts will be able to enjoy grilled chicken during missions on the International Space Station.
"We hope they will enjoy (canned yakitori) during their recreation in zero gravity space," said an official of Hotei Foods Corp.
The space food versions of the cans will include hook-and-loop fasteners on their sides to prevent them from floating away in zero gravity.
Commemorative cans including the Japanese Space Food logo will go on sale early next year for a limited time.
The company said Japanese Space Food certification had been granted to 36 products from 20 companies and groups as of Oct. 25.
