TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwanese officials urged people to consider the
implications before changing their name to "Salmon," after dozens flooded
government offices to register a name change so they could qualify for a
restaurant promotion.
The frenzy took hold this week after Japanese chain Sushiro promised a free
sushi meal to customers whose names included the traditional Chinese
characters “guiyu,” meaning salmon. Customers with names that sounded
similar to “salmon” could enjoy a half-price feed.
Many found the offer irresistible, and so ensued what local media branded “
Salmon Chaos.”
Dory Wang, a Sushiro marketing manager, said about 200 customers with the
name “Salmon” on their identity card had visited one of the chain’s
restaurants on Wednesday, adding that the response of seafood-loving
Taiwanese had exceeded expectations. “We appreciated those who are willing
to change their names for our sushi,” Wang said.
For some, the craze has proved more of a hassle.
“Five people requested a name change today and another six yesterday,”
said Ou Minxin, an official at a local household registration office in
Kaohsiung, Taiwan’s second-largest city. “We have seen changed names such
as ‘Hotness Salmon,’ ‘Dip Wasabi and Eat Salmon,’ and ‘Can’t Help but
Want to Eat Free Salmon.’ ”
Ou said most of them changed their names back after having a meal. “It has
indeed added to our workload, but it is quite interesting,” he said. | H********g
