Not much drip looks good, hopefully taste good as well
Very fresh and good for sashimi
Sashimi quality, fatty tuna, tasty! All of my family loved it. Will definitely order again.
I made negitoro with this tuna, and it became one of our family’s favorite dishes. It might taste a bit fishy and chewy if you eat it as regular sushi or sashimi. But when we minced the tuna using the back of a knife to make negitoro, it turned out absolutely delicious.
This is amazing for this price!!
The piece I received had a fattiness level similar to medium-fatty tuna (chu-toro), and it was very delicious. It doesn't seem to be always available, so I'll definitely buy it again if I find it.
It's Friday night. Here are some delicious snacks.
