A day for salmon

Today, and November 11th annually, is "Salmon Day" . Salmon Day was established by the Salmon Day Committee centered on fishery industry groups at the central wholesale market in the Keihanshin area, since 1987. Osaka City Central Wholesale Market also formed a committee in 1992 and later the Tsukiji market "Hokkaido Bussankai" was also established.

The purpose of Salmon Day is to promote the nutritional and health value of salmon which is rich in such things as amino acids, collagen and vitamins, among others, and to make its appeal widely known. The origin of the anniversary date is that if you break down the "making" part of the kanji "salmon" 「圭」, it becomes "eleven-eleven", and if you replace it with a number, it is November 11th.

On this day, why not cook some salmon with your family and friends. Or how about researching some new salmon recipes to try. Or simply enjoy grilled salmon in foil, which tastes particularly delicious when cooked on a grill or barbecue outside. You can check out the hashtag "#鮭の日" on social media to get some salmon arrangement ideas or use the hashtag yourself to showcase your salmon dishes on this day!
