For the Toro (Tuna Belly)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna Belly

    Start by rinsing the tuna belly under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Tuna

    Sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the tuna belly on both sides. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the salt to penetrate.

  3. 3

    Slice the Tuna Belly

    After resting, slice the tuna belly into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and mirin to create a dipping sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the sliced tuna belly on a plate. Serve with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side, along with the dipping sauce.
