Almost salmon roe

Salmon roe is a popular ingredient in sushi and other dishes, but demand for it has been declining due to soaring prices. However, the demand for salmon roe has been declining due to soaring prices, so we developed "Almost Salmon Roe" to protect marine resources and provide an alternative to salmon roe. Kanetetsu's unique formula reproduces the texture, color, and taste of real salmon roe pickled in soy sauce.

Since salmon roe is an ingredient often used for seasonal events and special celebrations, Kanetetsu has made it fish-egg allergen-free in order to commercialize it as part of the "Almost Series.
