When does Goto Islands Bluefin Tuna return after summer and what makes it different from summer fish?
Goto Islands Bluefin from Nagasaki returns to peak quality in October as water temperatures drop. Summer heat causes the fish to metabolize fat for thermoregulation; autumn and winter cold reverses this — fat accumulates rapidly, producing richer Otoro and Chutoro. Sashimi DC's Ikejime-processed Goto fish arrives ~24–48 hours from Miyazaki, never frozen.

Prepare for an unparalleled experience: * Otoro: Absolutely beautiful * Chutoro: Wonderfully silky * Akami: Intensely flavorful
You simply must try it.
