“Silver salmon with rich red-orange meat”
Miyagi Prefecture is one of Japan’s leading regions for silver salmon farming, and Minamisanriku is the birthplace of silver salmon aquaculture. Here, producers carefully raise each fish by hand, taking full advantage of the nutrient-rich waters flowing from the mountains to the sea and the calm, sheltered environment of the bay.
With its vibrant color and well-marbled flesh, the salmon offers a delightful balance of refined umami and tender texture. Whether enjoyed fresh as sashimi and sushi, or prepared in grilled and various local dishes, its rich flavor is a true culinary highlight.
Visit this bountiful coast, listen to the stories of the local producers, and taste the catch right where it is born. Experience a unique encounter with the sea, food, and people of Minamisanriku through its silver salmon.
