It is a revolutionary system that uses magnetic field energy to vibrate cells, allowing them to be frozen and preserved as if they were alive (alive) without destroying them (cells). Normally, when quick-frozen products are thawed, dripping occurs, which causes the loss of flavor and moisture, but frozen products frozen using CAS do not lose their flavor when thawed, and retain their freshness and taste for a long time.

Ltd., which was established as a third sector of the town, sells CAS products both domestically and internationally under its own mail-order brand, "Shimakaze-bin.
