Kakujoe Gyorui Holdings Co., Ltd. of Nagaoka, Niigata, which operates the fresh fish specialty chain Kakujoe Gyorui, is selling “ike-jime Sado Salmon” for a limited time. Sado Salmon is a domestically farmed salmon raised on Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture by Nissui Salmon Co., Ltd., a Nissui Group company.
