AT Taiwan, a good sushi is well worth a few concessions. Some die-hards have indeed not hesitated to change their name to benefit from a free menu. This week, the prefectures were thus taken by storm by Taiwanese wishing to be called “Salmon” to benefit from the promotion of a restaurant, as reported by our colleagues at CNN, Thursday, March 18, 2021. A craze of such magnitude that the Ministry of the Interior had to react, urging its fellow citizens to think carefully before changing their surname. And for good reason, the law only authorizes three changes in civil status. So much so that some gourmets could call themselves Salmon until the end of their days.
Nearly 100 people have registered to change their name since March 15, the date of the famous promotion launched by Sushiro restaurants. The chain promised free sushi to each of its customers whose names included the characters 鮭 and 魚 which means “salmon” in Chinese. The promotion was only valid until Thursday March 18.
Flash patronymic change
A Taiwanese man told the Central News Agency (CNA) that he was officially called Salmon since Wednesday. However, he intends to return to his old surname as soon as he can devour his plate of sushi. Another man, visibly playful, says he did the same, although he has already changed his surname once in his life. So there is only one chance left for him to find his real name.
