Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Selecting the Tuna

    Ensure that you select high-quality, sushi-grade fresh tuna (Maguro) from a reputable source. The color should be deep red, and it should have a fresh ocean scent.

  2. 2

    Slicing the Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh tuna into thin pieces, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Angle the knife at about a 45-degree angle for a clean cut.

Serving

  1. 3

    Plating the Tuna

    Arrange the sliced tuna on a serving plate in an aesthetically pleasing manner. You can overlap the slices slightly.

  2. 4

    Adding Accompaniments

    In small bowls, serve soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping.

  3. 5

    Garnishing

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the tuna for garnish, adding an extra layer of flavor and presentation.
