Kakujo Fishery's New Salmon Rice Ball

Kakujo Fishery Holdings is excited to announce the launch of their latest rice ball creation, the "Grilled Salmon Saikyo Rice Ball," starting on September 16. As part of their popular rice ball series, this new offering is designed with seafood lovers in mind, specifically those who enjoy the rich flavors of salmon.

Autumn's Signature Ingredient: Salmon

When we think of autumn flavors, salmon is often at the forefront. According to the latest fisheries white paper issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, salmon has consistently ranked as the top seafood consumed per person in Japan over the last 50 years. This enduring love for salmon among Japanese consumers highlights its cultural significance and popularity.

The newly launched rice ball features a savory salmon marinade that has been expertly crafted at Kakujo Fishery. The grilled salmon isn't just any typical preparation; it's carefully marinated in a special Saikyo miso blend, exclusive to Kakujo Fishery. This intricate process ensures a delectable balance of flavors, combining rich salmon fat with the robust taste of miso for an unforgettable experience.

Impressive Size and Quality

The size of the new rice ball is sure to impress—each one weighs approximately 250 grams, almost 2.5 times larger than the average rice ball, typically sold for around 110 grams in convenience stores. The visual appeal is also striking, as the rice balls are generously packed, topped, and filled with various ingredients.

To create this indulgent treat, Kakujo Fishery's team dedicated extensive effort, testing and refining the flavor, texture, and proportions to ensure an outstanding product that truly reflects their commitment to quality. The company hopes customers will find the balance of ingredients to be exceptional and looks forward to their feedback.

Big and Flavorful: Key Features

1. Imposing Size: The rice ball's impressive width and thickness make it stand out, providing more than enough sustenance for a hearty snack, meal, or on-the-go option.

2. Homemade Miso Marinade: The grilled salmon used in the rice balls is from fish that have been carefully processed at Kakujo's in-house facility. The salmon is treated to enhance flavors, ensuring that the rich taste of miso complements the inherent deliciousness of the fish.

3. Abundant Salmon: Each rice ball features generous portions of grilled salmon integrated into both the exterior and the filling to maximize the flavor journey with every bite, allowing consumers to fully appreciate the dish.

4. Additional Toppings: The rice ball is topped with roe marinated in soy sauce, introducing a salty-rich flavor that complements the salmon—together with sesame seeds, it rounds out the textural experience.

5. Premium Rice: Kakujo Fishery uses specially blended domestic rice sourced from contracted farmers, ensuring a fluffy, slightly sweet base that matches perfectly with the seasoned salmon.

Kakujo Fishery is committed to maintaining high hygiene standards throughout production, with manual bone removal and strict adherence to food safety practices in place.
