As this Mezamashi TV report from this morning confirms, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has unveiled a variety of space-friendly food produced by several Japanese companies, which will finally give Japanese astronauts on the International Space Station some awesome Japanese menu choices:

Pink Tentacle, which always provides awesome coverage of the latest cool tech news from Japan, has translated the full list of Japanese companies and the space food they developed:

  • Ajinomoto: Egg soup
  • Onishi Foods: White rice, rice with red azuki beans, rice with red azuki beans and wild greens, salmon onigiri
  • Kagome: Tomato ketchup, vegetable sauce, vegetable jelly drink (tomato/carrot)
  • Kewpie: Mayonnaise, rice porridge
