Bluefin Tuna 'Chutoro' Sashimi (Japan Grade), Saku Block: Melt-in-Your-Mouth Taste with a Rich Umami Profile!
Chutoro, the prized medium fatty portion of the bluefin tuna, offers a luxurious balance between the rich, buttery texture of otoro and the lean firmness of akami. Sourced from premium Japanese-grade bluefin tuna, this saku block of chutoro is ideal for sashimi lovers seeking an exquisite melt-in-your-mouth experience. Each bite reveals layers of deep umami flavour, subtle sweetness and a soft, silky texture that speaks to its exceptional quality. The marbling is just right, enough to give it that delicate fattiness without overpowering the clean, ocean-fresh taste. Carefully trimmed and flash-frozen (at -60°C) for optimal freshness, this chutoro saku block is ready to impress at your next meal. Its rich flavour and supple texture make it perfect not only for traditional sashimi but also for other refined dishes.
