The documented version wraps salmon filling and vinegared rice in seaweed, then cuts the roll into pieces. Kosuko’s December 2024 review describes eight pieces supplied in paper wrapping. This is the prepared food-court roll; the warehouse’s separately sold tub of salmon poke is not an interchangeable serving. [1]
The historical label lists vinegared Japanese rice, seasoned salmon poke and nori. Its poke component includes onion, sesame oil and a seasoning mixture containing sesame, roasted almond and chili. It explicitly declares almond, sesame and salmon. A separate warning says the product was made on equipment also used for shrimp, crab, wheat, egg and milk ingredients. That equipment warning is distinct from the ingredient list; both statements belong to this photographed historical label, not a verified current recipe. [2]
history
A Hiroshima diner reported eating the roll on November 16, 2024. Another participant said staff had described that day as the start of regular sales following a preview. The first account documents a meal; the second relays a rollout statement. Neither establishes Japan’s first sale. [4]
Kosuko subsequently reported an initial western-Japan offering and an expected expansion from December 9. That forecast is preserved as contemporary reporting. A later, specifically located observation lists the roll on Hisayama’s January 17, 2025 menu; the forum post was published the following day. [1] [5]
nutrition
The table reproduces the historical label’s estimated values per 100 g, not per roll or piece. Mitok weighed one order at approximately 301 g; that single sample does not establish a standard serving or an official whole-roll calorie total. [2] [3]

distinctions
The reviewers found different strengths and drawbacks. Kosuko enjoyed the seasoned salmon and onion texture but questioned the price. Mitok praised the salmon while finding the rice too densely packed to combine smoothly with the filling. These are named tasting judgments, not a measure of general customer opinion. [1] [3]
The Hiroshima diner described approximately seven pieces, while both December reviews described eight. These local accounts differ in cut count; a standard portion count is unconfirmed. [4] [1] [3]

Sources & photo rights
The label photograph prints item number 94662 and November 28, 2024 processing and use-by dates. The review texts instead identify 69343; Kosuko’s price heading names December as the purchase month. These differences remain visible. None of those dates is silently substituted for the photograph date or a nationwide launch. [2] [3] [1]
The reviews include photographs of the actual food, but reuse permission has not been established. This entry remains a photo-pending researched draft. Source images are linked for checking, rather than republished as cleared article photography. [1] [3]
