Hon Maguro Chu-toro

In Japan, bluefin tuna is regarded as the king of tuna: the ultimate highlight of sushi and sashimi cuisine.
Worldwide, it is also considered the most exclusive and prized type of tuna.

Our tuna comes from Spain and is ICCAT-certified. When we place an order, the fish is still swimming in the sea. Just a day later, the whole tuna is already on our cutting table — it hardly gets any fresher. Within a few hours, our expert carefully cuts the finest blocks, ready for the most delicious dishes.

Chu-toro refers to the medium-fat belly meat of the tuna.
It is located just under the skin and in the rear section of the tuna’s belly. Chu-toro has a perfect balance between the pure tuna flavor of akami and the marbling of ōtoro.

We recommend consuming the tuna within three weeks of purchase; this is not the printed best-before date, but after that time the tuna begins to oxidize and may turn slightly brown. This does not affect the flavor.
