On Christmas Eve, the 24th, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries posted the phrase “Eat Salmon for Christmas” on its official x (formerly Twitter) account, which has become a hot topic on social media. The source of the post, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, became a trending topic on X, and there were many reposts (spreading of posts) with content such as “For Christmas, we eat salmon instead of chicken.” The ministry has been posting the phrase around Christmas time since 2021 in an effort to create an opportunity to increase consumption of salmon and trout. ■ A line from a monster in a special effects movie
The trigger for posting this phrase was December 23, 2018. This is a line spoken by the monster character “Samon Shakekistantin” who appeared in the special effects TV drama “Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger vs. Keisatsu Sentai Patranger” (episode 45) produced by Toei. In an attempt to change the impression that Christmas is synonymous with chicken, they forced people to eat salmon, saying things like, “No chicken!” and “If you’re Japanese, eat salmon!” In response to the huge impact of this phrase, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries posted a message on Christmas Eve 2020 with the hashtag “SalmonChristmas,” which was a reference to Salmon. In 2021, a post was made officially using Samone’s line, “#EatSalmonForChristmas,” which “resulted in a huge response, with many reposts saying, ‘I’ll buy some salmon to take home for Christmas,'” according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries’ Public Relations Office.

This is a flag for salmon price hike. Thank you, LDP.

If there’s fast food that serves chicken, there should be fast food that serves salmon.

Considering that, I feel like salmon roe hasn’t gotten any cheaper.

Japanese people are probably the only ones who eat chicken on Christmas.

I’ve never thought of chanchanyaki as something to eat before New Year’s Eve or on January 4th, though.

There are so many unknown salmon out there, it’s hard to find any domestically caught salmon.
11Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 24, 2024 (Tue) 15:30:45.99ID:ymUwO4PU0
I thought it was salmon, but it was actually salmon trout (´・ω・`).
12Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 24, 2024 (Tue) 15:30:49.43ID:S0kFD6HL0
I thought there was a bumper catch of yellowtail, but what happened? Hokkaido native.

Better do something about the rice instead.
14Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 24, 2024 (Tue) 15:31:08.41ID:2yV5x+mr0
No, I don’t recommend that.
15Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 24, 2024 (Tue) 15:31:09.73ID:6nJVh7nL0
What are they doing ignoring the rise in rice prices? And besides that, there’s a salmon shortage.

That’s right.
They ignore the rice and only do what the fisheries associations ask them to do.
They don’t understand how hard the people are struggling.
Do your job, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

It’s delicious with butter, wrapped in foil with vegetables and baked in the oven.

Okay, if it’s not turkey anyway, salmon would be the same. I’ll eat horse meat.

Domestic salmon roe has dropped drastically! Idiot, salmon roe has become too expensive!

In Hokkaido, there is a long-standing tradition of celebrating Christmas by placing a candle inside a salmon.

Salmon is about the same price as American beef…

We have to eat, so do something about the price of rice.

Everyone should just eat what they like.

Consumption of fresh salmon rolls is also declining, so this will be the perfect catalyst.

Okay, Dad, I’ll buy some salmon and take it home today♪.

If you grill salted salmon, shred it, and make it into a rice bowl with tea, it’s really delicious.

If I buy salmon instead of chicken and come home, my wife and daughter will get mad at me.

High-quality aramaki salmon is really delicious.
I got it as a year-end gift from my relatives in Hokkaido a long time ago.

It was predictable that they would be inundated with protests from poultry companies and would have to hastily retract the plan.

After watching this broadcast, children suddenly started saying, “I want to eat salmon,” leaving parents all over the country confused lol.

Salmon is expensive too; it’s a luxury fish now.
