大トロ- Ō-toro

Fatty tuna

Ō-toro is from the belly of the tuna, so it's rich in fat, delivering a luscious, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Ō-toro is visually characterised by a striking whiteness from the fat. The prime season for ō-toro is winter, when it is the most rich in fat and reaches the pinnacle of its deliciousness. The luxuriant, intense flavour derived from this abundant fat is a quality that captivates many sushi enthusiasts.
