"This golden period must really be utilized by mothers," she added.

"In 2025, 1,000 children participating in the Gemarikan program for early childhood received fish-based packages consisting of fish katsu and ebi furai. Twenty-one packages were distributed today, with the remainder at a later event," she stated.
