Hello, this is Takeda.

At Takeda, we proudly serve Ikura Gunkan (salmon roe) made from the finest Hokkaido salmon roe.

What is Ikura?

Ikura, or salmon roe, are bright orange eggs harvested from salmon. Prized in Japanese cuisine, ikura is known for its vibrant appearance and luxurious flavor.
Each roe bursts with a salty and slightly sweet taste, reminiscent of the sea. The firm yet delicate texture adds a satisfying pop to every bite.

A Unique Taste of Autumn

When it comes to autumn delicacies, ikura is a must-try. The ikura from Hokkaido, Japan’s leading production area, is especially notable. Made from fresh salmon roe harvested immediately after the autumn catch, Hokkaido ikura is renowned for its lack of fishiness and its deep, rich umami flavor. Our Takeda ikura, carefully marinated in soy sauce by skilled artisans, offers an exceptional taste experience that truly stands out.

What is Gunkan?

Gunkan, named for its black appearance resembling a battleship when viewed from the side, is a type of sushi used for delicate toppings such as sea urchin and salmon roe.The seaweed forms a vessel that holds the delicate toppings, creating a visually appealing and delicious sushi piece.
