Bluefin Tuna Otoro from Tokyo’s Toyosu Fish Market
~8oz per order. Sushi-grade. Arrives fresh.
Otoro is the fattest and most marbled cut of Bluefin, taken from the lower belly near the head. It's prized for its buttery texture, high fat content, and clean, umami-rich finish—a standout for nigiri, sashimi, and crudo in high-end sushi applications.
Farmed Japanese bluefin tuna, known for its high quality and clean taste, is produced through full-cycle aquaculture. This practice helps to address the concerns regarding the decline of wild bluefin tuna populations.

- Flavor: Deep umami, clean, rich.
- Texture: Soft, buttery, heavily marbled.
