CARPACCIO AKAMI 80–120g Lean Elegance in Paper-Thin Slices
Our Carpaccio Akami showcases the purest expression of Bluefin Tuna in thin, delicate slices that reveal the deep ruby-red hue and firm texture of the fish’s leanest section. Taken from the akami portion of the loin, this cut is prized for its clean flavor profile and versatility in high-end raw presentations.
Harvested from Mediterranean wild-caught this tuna is processed immediately on-board Japanese vessels. Recognized globally as a staple across Michelin-starred sushi and modern seafood establishments, this thin-sliced carpaccio delivers high-density intramuscular marbling and peak fat concentration.
The Purity of Lean Bluefin
Akami is known for its low fat content and rich, savory umami. Each slice is cut for maximum surface area, making it the perfect canvas for oils, dressings, and garnishes that enhance without overpowering. The deep color and sleek texture add visual elegance to any plate.
Perfect for Raw Preparations
- Classic Carpaccio – Serve chilled with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, and sea salt.
- Canapé Style – Layer over crisp crackers with avocado mousse or wasabi cream.
- Plated Sashimi – Arrange alongside Chu-Toro and O-Toro for a multi-cut tasting platter.
Preserved at Peak Freshness
Harvested from responsibly managed fisheries and prepared using the Japanese Ikejime method, each portion is superfrozen at -60°C within hours of catch. This process locks in freshness, texture, and flavor, ensuring your guests enjoy Bluefin Tuna as if it were just caught.
Ethical & Sustainable
Our Akami Carpaccio is ICCAT-certified with full traceability from ocean to plate, ensuring you serve a product that meets the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
Pairings & Presentation
Pair with crisp Sauvignon Blanc, chilled sake, or a light rosé. Complement with microgreens, edible flowers, or citrus pearls for a refined touch.
For chefs seeking the lean elegance of Bluefin Tuna with unmatched freshness and visual appeal, Carpaccio Akami is the ultimate choice. Complete your menu with our Carpaccio Chu-Toro to offer guests a journey through the different flavors and textures of Bluefin Tuna.
