Bluefin Tuna: Exceptional Quality — Especially in Otoro
Our premium Bluefin Tuna from Goto, Nagasaki, continues its impressive progression. We have received another shipment of high-quality fish, with the Otoro showing particularly remarkable improvement as water temperatures continue to drop.
Truly high-quality Bluefin exhibits a "ねっとり" (nettori) texture — what we also refer to as "Nebari" — a sign of exceptional richness and depth in the fat that only the best fish possess. I personally sampled each cut this week and found the difference utterly astonishing.
While Bluefin Tuna is traditionally at its absolute peak in the coldest winter months (December–February), the quality is significantly improving as we head into the colder season.
