Positioned between the lean purity of Akami and the indulgent richness of Otoro, Chutoro occupies the most balanced and arguably most nuanced position in the bluefin tuna mid back hierarchy of cuts. Taken from the mid-back and stomach of the fish, a section that accounts for only a small portion of the overall weight, it is precisely this rarity that makes it so highly prized among connoisseurs and sushi masters alike.

The fat distribution in Chutoro is exquisite, enough marbling to deliver a silky, yielding texture and a rich, buttery depth of flavour, yet with sufficient lean red meat to maintain a clean, expressive finish that neither overwhelms nor underwhelms. It is, in the eyes of many, the most complete and satisfying tuna cut of all.

Sourced from premium farmed bluefin tuna in Japan and delivered at 2Kg under product code CH0149, it is a cut that belongs at the centre of any serious sushi or sashimi programme.
