Chutoro (10oz)
Details
Bluefin Tuna · Sashimi Grade · Mid-Belly Cut
The Connoisseur's Choice,
Rich Marbling with a Clean Finish
Chutoro sits between the lean akami and the ultra-fatty otoro, making it the most nuanced cut of the bluefin belly. It carries enough marbling to melt on the tongue while retaining the deep, meaty backbone of the tuna, delivering both richness and substance in every slice. Processed in a HACCP-certified facility in Korea and vacuum-sealed at peak freshness. 10oz (0.63 lbs) per pack.
Why You'll Love It
- ✦ Mid-belly balance, the sweet spot between fat and meat that many tuna lovers prefer above all other cuts
- ✦ Silky mouthfeel with a clean, elegant finish, not as heavy as otoro but far richer than lean tuna
- ✦ HACCP-certified processing with advanced quick-freezing that locks in natural oils and color at peak quality
- ✦ Vacuum-sealed for zero freezer burn, vibrant red color maintained until you open the pack
Chutoro vs. Otoro
Chutoro (This Product)
Mid belly. Perfectly balanced marbling, rich but not overwhelming. The preferred cut for those who want complexity in every bite.
Otoro
Front belly. Maximum fat content. For those who want the most indulgent, melt-heavy experience possible.
Best Enjoyed As
- ✦ Sashimi, sliced thick and served chilled with premium soy sauce and fresh wasabi
- ✦ Nigiri, hand-pressed over seasoned sushi rice for an omakase-level bite at home
- ✦ Aburi (torched), a quick pass of flame caramelizes the marbling for a smoky, nutty finish
How to Thaw
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, still in the vacuum seal. Remove from packaging 10 minutes before slicing. Do not thaw at room temperature or in water.
