The well known homes of the Red Salmon are Russia (Asian) and Alaska/Canada (North American), and they are slightly different kinds of the Red Salmon. However, the taste that has been familiar with Japanese people for a long time since Edo period is the Red Salmon from Russia. Japanese people love the best partners of the slightly salted grilled Russian Red Salmon and hot cooked rice. By the way, the Red Salmon does not grow up in the region below 50° north, so it is not possible to catch them around Japan. In reality, the Red Salmon sold as “from Hokkaido” is captured in Russian ocean and unloaded in Hokkaido.
The Red Salmon has totally different tastes depending on when to capture, and where to capture. The Salmon that goes up in the river near the coast has a light taste, since its nourishment is taken in the egg and its body becomes thin. Our Red Salmon is captured during May to July in the offing of the northern ocean from 50° north where sea water temperature is low. Since those Red Salmons migrating around offing are young salmon with ages 2 or 3 and are in the process of growing, their bodies are tightened, rich of oil, and abundant with the nutrient!
*The salmon oil includes the nutrients good for your health.
The percentage of oil differs from the place of capturing.
| -From Russia (caught in offing) | 12-14% S Road’s Red Salmon is rich of oil! |
| -From Canada | 10-12% |
| -From Alaska Bristol | 4-7% |
