TUNA SASHIMI AND
SASHIMI CUTS
Tuna sashimi loins are cut from different
sections of the fish, most commonly
resulting in three types: Akami, Chutoro
and Otoro. To prepare for sashimi, the loin
is first processed to remove the bloodline
(dark, tough sinew) and then cut against
the grain into thin, bite-sized pieces, with
the fat content influencing the specific
cutting technique used.
Akami: This is the lean, red muscle from the
main part of the tuna. It's the most readily
available and affordable cut, offering a rich, meaty
texture with less fat.
Chutoro: Situated between Akami and Otoro,
Chutoro is a medium-fatty cut that provides a
balance between the lean meatiness of Akami and
the richness of Otoro.
Otoro: The most luxurious and expensive cut,
Otoro comes from the fattiest parts of the belly
and is known for its high-fat content and melting
texture.
