{"product_id":"imperial-caviar","title":"Imperial Caviar","description":"\u003cp\u003eImperial caviar — \u003cem\u003eAcipenser Schrenckii × Huso Dauricus\u003c\/em\u003e — is the hybrid offspring of our two Amur River species: Amur sturgeon and Kaluga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eggs are medium to large at 3.0–3.2mm, with a distinctive brownish-green hue that sets them apart from both parent species — a visual signature of the hybrid itself. The flavour brings together the best of both parents: the clean earthiness and gentle brine of Amur, and the buttery richness and nutty depth of Kaluga, with soft oceanic hints that tie it all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sits in the middle of the Amur River family in both profile and price point — above Amur in richness and complexity, below \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/kaluga-caviar-huso-dauricus\"\u003eKaluga\u003c\/a\u003e in intensity and prestige. For caviar lovers who want to explore the depth of Kaluga without fully committing to the premium tier, Imperial is the natural bridge — entry-level price with unmistakably premium characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it mean that Imperial is a hybrid?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImperial is produced by crossing two distinct sturgeon species from the same river basin — \u003cem\u003eAcipenser Schrenckii\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/amur-acipenser-schrenckii\"\u003eAmur sturgeon\u003c\/a\u003e) and \u003cem\u003eHuso Dauricus\u003c\/em\u003e (Kaluga). The result inherits traits from both: Kaluga's large egg size and buttery richness, and Amur's earthy character. Even the colour is its own — a distinctive brownish-green that neither parent produces on its own. Hybrid sturgeon are widely produced and prized for their consistency and vigour — Imperial is a prime example of what the combination can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Imperial compare to Amur and Kaluga?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of them as a natural progression. Amur is the lightest — clean, gently briny, and fresh. Imperial takes that foundation and adds Kaluga's buttery richness and larger egg size, creating a more complex, fuller profile. Kaluga is the peak — the deepest, richest, most prestigious of the three. Imperial sits confidently in the middle: premium flavour, accessible price point, and large eggs with a colour unlike anything else in our lineup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CaviarHub","offers":[{"title":"30g","offer_id":53245521002793,"sku":"quint-imperial-30g","price":104.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":53245521035561,"sku":"quint-imperial-50g","price":164.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":53245521068329,"sku":"quint-imperial-100g","price":288.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/imperial-q-1_8ffa0a30-e6c9-4c39-b6aa-286cb245c99a.webp?v=1781114590","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/fr\/products\/imperial-caviar","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
