WAZAKE contains low level of fat and it tastes “refreshing”. It can be appreciated best in raw, like Sushi. WAZAKE is highly recommended for such Malaysian consumers who love Japanese cuisine and those health / fit conscious. We, Ishinomaki Tsuda Fish Co., Ltd., know the most suitable salmon for Japanese cuisine. We are firmly committed supplying genuine and truly tasty salmon to Malaysian consumers.
WAZAKE is carefully raised and processed “Silver Salmon” for only prime period in Japan. This is to supply “Shun (旬)”: most tasty salmon to consumers. They can be only farmed in the sea under 20C temperature. We harvest them from April to July for only 4 months. If we harvest them after this season seawater temperature will be higher and salmons become too fatty. Then it should be delivered in fresh, not frozen. These carefully raised and processed salmons can be only certified as WAZAKE.
“Shun (旬)” is the Japanese concept of food in season. Japan has four seasons and we Japanese enjoy their beauty. The seasonal factor is also incorporated to Japanese food culture. Using those food materials harvested in best season, we cook them without using too much oil and seasonings. This is to make sure we can enjoy the genuine taste of the food.
WAZAKE can be supplied only for 4 months in a year. This is to make sure the consumers can enjoy the best taste of WAZAKE.
