Order Salmon Sushi and skip the gym?

Salmon is so good for you that ordering sushi from Tampopo Kitchen is basically like going to the gym, right? That may not be accurate, but what I do know is, salmon is in season which means it's time to get your salmon lover special on at Tampopo Kitchen!

This time of year, salmon will have more fat and a deeper flavor because it's mating season. This is also a great time of year to order the salmon roe too, called ikura, which we serve gunkan style, or rice wrapped in seaweed around the side, like a little cup. Salmon is loaded in those omega 3 fatty acids, and is great for your skin, but I love eating my nigiri salmon sushi pieces with an Asahi beer, which probably cancels out those health benefits for me. And don't get me started on pairing salmon with Japanese saké, I would go with the dryer, bolder side (Tengumai or Urakasumi at Tampopo Kitchen), to balance the fatty sweet flavor of the fish.

We are still running Fall2 as an order code for the rest of the month, pop that code in for $2 off your next order. (exp. 10/31/22)

Hope y'all are killing it this October!
