Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When grilling the tuna, avoid moving it around too much on the pan—loose sesame seeds may burn and stick to the tuna, making it messy.
  • To achieve a crispy exterior while keeping the inside raw, preheat the pan until smoking hot and cook the tuna in a very short time.
  • When slicing the tuna, sharpen your knife beforehand or use a thin sushi knife to prevent the cross-section from smudging or tearing.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy elegant, sophisticated Japanese tapas at home in an izakaya style.
  • Those looking to experience tuna sashimi in a fresh, stylish new way.
  • Those seeking visually impressive dishes perfect for entertaining guests or hosting a home party.
