However, this is not a Golden caviar, but rather a Yellow caviar.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, River trout, Char, Yamame, and Amago, which grow only in rivers and lakes, do not take red pigments, so their eggs themselves remain yellow. Yellow is also associated with roes but can also come from an albino fish. Rainbow trout is almost always orange, but can also be yellow using a feed that does not contain astaxanthin.<\/p>\n<p>These are what we call Yellow caviar in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>[sc_apply
