Description
Toro is the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth belly of the Bluefin Tuna—a seasonal treat that sushi connoisseurs and chefs eagerly anticipate. Available only during the fall and winter months, this highly-prized cut is a direct result of the tuna fattening up for the colder season.
This cut comes from the fattiest part of the belly, which is what gives it a unique "melt-in-your-mouth" texture. Its high marbling and luxurious flavor make it a revelation when served raw as sashimi or nigiri. The experience is akin to high-grade Wagyu beef, with the fat melting away on the tongue, leaving a delicate and unforgettable taste.
