“Salmon” or “Sake” is a widely beloved fish in Japanese cuisine. The salmon commonly used in conveyor belt sushi, known as kaiten-zushi, includes two main varieties: farm-raised Atlantic salmon and ocean-farmed rainbow trout known as trout salmon. These two types are extensively utilized in sushi preparations.
While salmon is a popular choice in Japanese cuisine, it is important to note that it is not commonly found in upscale sushi establishments due to its relatively lower cost. However, it remains a highly favored sushi topping, especially in conveyor belt sushi restaurants where it is readily available.
Salmon’s availability and affordability have contributed to its widespread popularity in sushi culture. The mild yet distinctive taste and tender texture of salmon make it an appealing choice for sushi lovers, both within Japan and abroad.
