Special features of Sushi Hokkaido Sachi tuna dish

Hon Maguro (authentic tuna) at Sushi Hokkaido Sachi has a high lean meat ratio, low fat content, and tender flesh, making it ideal for sushi.

Boasting a fresh flavor and large size, Hon Maguro live deep in cold waters and undergo a rigorous fishing and preservation process to ensure quality. According to the chefs at Sushi Hokkaido Sachi, the standard for a premium bluefin tuna fillet is that when eaten, the diner feels the fish meat melt in their mouth like ice cream.

Accordingly, Akami refers to the red meat on the back of the tuna, where the leanest, least fatty, and subtly sweet flesh is concentrated, making it suitable as an appetizer. The fish turns pink towards the middle of the belly, where the chutoro pieces are located, which have a higher fat content and interwoven tiny fat veins creating a soft, fatty texture. Finally, the ootoro, located under the belly near the gills, is the most beloved part of a tuna. The pale pink slices of fish crisscrossing the white fat veins, the high fat content, and the tender texture of the otoro make it a delightful treat for diners.
