North Atlantic salmon, \u003cem\u003eSalmo salar\u003c\/em\u003e, was not served raw there before the 1990s. Japanese tradition worked with Pacific salmon, which carries parasites and therefore had to be cooked, and the idea of raw salmon was firmly associated with getting ill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts arrival is the result of a \u003cstrong\u003ecommercial campaign\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the early 1980s Norway's farmed salmon industry was looking for an outlet for a surplus it could not sell. Project Japan, launched by the Norwegian government in 1985, spent years negotiating before convincing Japanese distributors to put Norwegian salmon — parasite-free because it was farmed — into the sushi chains. The result was total. Salmon is now the best-selling sushi in Japan and everywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidery shows a \u003cstrong\u003esingle nigiri\u003c\/strong\u003e in three-quarter view, and in real detail: a base of pressed white rice with the individual grains stitched in, topped by a thick slice of orange-red salmon with the white marbling clearly worked — the intramuscular fat that gives the piece its texture. Nothing else on the crown. It doesn't need anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-profile bucket shape makes the orange and cream carry. Wear it with a white graphic tee, linen shorts and white sneakers, or with a chambray overshirt, cream chinos and espadrilles for something calmer. The brim earns its place on terraces and at outdoor grills. Made for people who order salmon every time and have stopped apologizing for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e98% cotton, 2% elastane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid profile, 7.5 cm (3 in) brim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne size: 54.9-60 cm (21.6-23.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft inner lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat seams and clean finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Japan Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53756652650843,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":53756652683611,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki","offer_id":53756652716379,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":53756652749147,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/bucket-hat-salmon-nigiri-black.jpg?v=1786455512","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/bucket-hat-salmon-nigiri","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
