Smoked Shinshu Salmon (100g)

Shinshu Smoked Salmon

Tender Smoke Salmon with Natural Ingredients

It offers a tender texture reminiscent of raw salmon. 
It's slowly smoked at temperatures under 20 degrees Celsius, a process that gradually enhances its aroma and flavor.
It's seasoned using only natural ingredients and contains no preservatives.
This preparation method aims to create a high-quality smoked salmon with a delicate texture and rich taste, while maintaining a commitment to natural ingredients.

The secret lies in its unique and cared smoking process

The artisans use chips from white birch trees - the symbol of Yachiho Highland - to smoke the salmon.
This imparts a distinctive aroma and flavor that’s simply irresistible.

Also, they employ a cold-smoking method, preserving the fish’s delicate taste without compromising its natural flavors.

Spent a Decade in the Making

It’s the result of a 10-year breeding program by the Nagano Fisheries Experiment Station.
By crossbreeding rainbow trout and brown trout, they created a unique species with a silver body and red flesh, reminiscent of salmon.

Speciality of Shinshu Salmon

Shinshu salmon was originally developed by the Nagano Prefectural Fisheries Experiment Station over a period of about 10 years and was launched in 2004.

It is characterized by its thick meat.
Compared to ordinary fish, it is more satisfying to eat.
It is raised at the fish farm, which is rich in nature, and is processed immediately to ensure its freshness and firmness.
