Seasonal Splendor: Sado Salmon Festival at Kakujo Gyorui
Starting from early May and running through mid-June, Kakujo Gyorui, renowned for its fresh seafood specialty, is delighting customers with a limited-time offering of
Sado Salmon. This exquisite farmed salmon, nurtured by Nissui Salmon in Niigata Prefecture, is renowned for its rich flavor and quality, making it a true gem of the Japanese Sea. With origins in Teradomari, Kakujo Gyorui has committed to providing the freshest and most delicious fish from this region since its inception.
During this 30-day festival, you can experience the full range of Sado Salmon delights across Kakujo Gyorui stores. Here, fresh fish is showcased, ensuring a variety of options such as sashimi, sushi, and fried dishes, all featuring this seasonal star. It’s an opportunity for fans of salmon to indulge in their favorite dishes and explore new culinary creations.
A Salmon Celebration
The Sado Salmon is unique due to its limited harvesting period, and Kakujo Gyorui has arranged a special section in all its stores dedicated entirely to this seasonal fish. Customers can select from whole fish, fillets, and sashimi cuts, prepared free of charge to suit individual preferences. Whether you want a whole fish, half portions, or perfectly sliced sashimi, Kakujo Gyorui is ready to serve.
For those who want to savor the freshness right away, the stores offer ready-to-eat sashimi platters, with generous portions available for about 480 yen for six slices. You can also enjoy salmon sashimi prepared for various recipes like sushi rolls or poke bowls.
Sushi Varieties to Savor
In addition to sashimi, Kakujo Gyorui provides a fantastic selection of sushi featuring Sado Salmon. You can try the Sado Salmon assortment, which includes various sushi pieces placed together for a comprehensive tasting experience. Prices range from about 360 yen for four pieces to 750 yen for special platters.
Kakujo Gyorui also serves crafted pressed sushi, meticulously prepared using pickled salmon for an authentic taste that is bursting with flavor. Don't miss the freshly fried salmon cutlets, served warm and crispy for only 400 yen.
Commitment to Freshness
Kakujo Gyorui’s commitment to quality and freshness sets its products apart. The Sado Salmon, predominantly hatched in Tainai City and nurtured in pristine mountain spring water, travels to marine farms off Sado Island. Here, it grows in deep, clear waters with swift currents, leading to a firm texture and rich flavor profile.
Once harvested, each salmon is humanely processed right away, ensuring remarkable freshness that can be tasted in every bite. The process is labor-intensive and costly, but it guarantees a lower fishy taste and an enhanced flavor that confirms the salmon’s quality. The procurement team at Kakujo Gyorui emphasizes that this season’s crop is large, fatty, and simply unparalleled.
