It's the balance cut — richer and more marbled than akami, but lighter and cleaner than o-toro. Pale pink, with a smooth texture and a fat that's present without being heavy. This saku (柵) is a block cut ready to slice for sashimi and sushi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eFor a lot of people chu-toro is the sweet spot: it has the melt of toro but stays balanced enough to eat more than a piece or two. \"Super frozen\" means it's flash-frozen at around −70°F right after cutting, which holds the fat and texture so it thaws close to fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"seto-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluefin tuna (本鮪)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChu-toro (中トロ) — medium-fatty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaku (柵) block, sashimi-ready\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 0.8–1.0 lb per saku\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eState\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuper frozen (flash-frozen ≈ −70°F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSashimi, sushi, nigiri\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThaw it properly and it eats close to fresh. The classic use is raw — sliced against the grain for sashimi, or over rice for nigiri, where the fat melts as you eat it. A light sear (aburi) also suits it.

Slice only what you'll eat and keep the rest cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-pairing\"\u003ePairing notes — soy and wasabi, warm sushi rice, grated daikon, and a dry sake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-rare-note\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThawing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ships super frozen. Thaw in the refrigerator, or for a saku block, thaw quickly in lightly salted ice water then pat dry — this protects the color and texture. Do not thaw at room temperature or refreeze after thawing.
