"wagyu of the sea" is how I describe Otoro. These umami packed bites will have you asked is this fish or beef?
Otoro is cut from the belly of yellowfin tuna. It is extremely marbleized and has that same melt in your mouth sensation as our fullblood wagyu products. In this recipe we use traditional asian flavors to unlock all the flavor profiles of a classic umami bite.
