What is O-Toro?
O-toro (大トロ) is the fattiest cut of bluefin tuna, taken from the belly. It's the richest part of the fish — heavily marbled, pale pink, with a buttery softness that melts on the tongue. This is fresh, never-frozen bluefin, wild-caught and cut into roughly 0.5 lb pieces ready for sashimi and sushi.
Fresh o-toro eats differently from frozen — the texture is looser and the flavor brighter, closer to how it tastes at the counter. The fish is wild-caught and processed as soon as it arrives.

How to enjoy
Fresh o-toro is at its best raw. Slice it against the grain for sashimi, or lay it over rice for nigiri, where the fat melts as you eat it. A light sear on the surface (aburi) also suits the belly cut, softening the fat further. It needs little more than soy and wasabi. Keep it cold and use it within a day or two of delivery.
Pairing notes — soy and wasabi, warm sushi rice, grated daikon, and a dry sake.
