All-natural, un-treated tuna. It has not been gassed with carbon monoxide to prevent discoloration.
Lean, clean, and intensely flavorful, Bluefin Tuna Top Loin, known as akami in Japanese, showcases the pure taste of premium tuna. With its firm texture, vibrant ruby-red color, and balanced umami, akami is a favorite for sashimi, nigiri, poke, and crudo preparations.
Caught and processed onboard Japanese vessels, each fish is handled using the traditional ikejime method and frozen to -60°C within an hour of harvest. This ultra-low-temperature freezing preserves the tuna’s color, texture, and fresh-caught flavor while preventing oxidation and moisture loss, ensuring exceptional quality in every cut.
Sold in two sizes: 6 to 8 oz or 8 to 10 oz, super frozen and vacuum sealed
Note: saku block shapes may vary slightly between pieces, some might be rectangular while others might have a slight taper. This is simply how the fish is shaped (like a torpedo) and will have no taste or quality differences.
Origin: Spain (wild caught)
