Cooking tips

  • When slicing tuna, follow the direction of the tough tendons (sujis) and cut at a slight angle to achieve clean cross-sections and a smoother texture.
  • For enhanced flavor, briefly marinate the akami (lean) portion in soy sauce before assembling the sushi—a process known as 'tsuke'.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to learn how to properly prepare and handle premium tuna blocks at home like a pro.
  • Culinary students looking to master authentic Japanese sushi hand-pressing techniques.
