Sourced from Japan, Bluefin Tuna Lean Meat, known as Akami, is the lean, deep red loin taken from the upper back of the Bluefin Tuna. If Otoro is the indulgence, Akami is the soul, the cut that most purely expresses the true character of this extraordinary fish, clean, firm, intensely savoury, and unmistakably itself.

With the lowest fat content of all Bluefin cuts, Akami offers a completely different dimension of pleasure from its fattier counterparts. Its vivid crimson colour, firm yet yielding texture, and bold, clean umami flavour make it the most versatile and widely celebrated cut in sushi culture, the reference point against which all other tuna is measured.

Whether served as classic nigiri, sliced for sashimi, or lightly marinated in the Japanese tradition, it is a cut of genuine distinction and enduring appeal for professional kitchens seeking the clean, concentrated flavour of the finest Japanese Bluefin.
