CARPACCIO CHU-TORO 140–180g – Balanced Marbling, Exceptional Flavor
Our Carpaccio Chu-Toro offers the perfect middle ground between the lean intensity of akami and the luxurious richness of o-toro. Sourced from the belly’s upper section of premium Bluefin Tuna, it features a gentle marbling that adds depth, tenderness, and a melt-in-your-mouth texture without overwhelming richness.
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 Best of Both Worlds
Chu-Toro is highly prized for its balanced fat content. Each slice delivers the fresh, clean flavor of lean tuna, elevated by streaks of silky fat that enhance juiciness and umami. The result is a flavor profile that is both refined and indulgent, making it a favorite among sushi chefs and fine dining establishments.
Serving Inspirations
- Citrus Carpaccio – Arrange thin slices with microgreens, orange segments, and a drizzle of yuzu vinaigrette.
- Luxury Appetizer – Top with shaved truffle, caviar, or gold leaf for an unforgettable starter.
- Signature Hand Rolls – Wrap in crisp nori with cucumber, shiso, and sushi rice for a refined yet simple treat.
Harvested & Preserved for Excellence
Each Bluefin Tuna is ethically sourced from ICCAT-certified fisheries, handled using the Ikejime method, and superfrozen at -60°C immediately after catch. This ensures that every slice of Chu-Toro arrives with its natural color, texture, and ocean-fresh taste perfectly preserved.
Sustainability You Can Trust
Traceability is guaranteed from sea to plate, allowing you to serve Chu-Toro knowing it was sourced with respect for marine resources and the environment.
Pairing & Presentation
Pair with Champagne, Junmai Ginjo sake, or a crisp Chablis to complement the gentle richness of the cut. Plate alongside Carpaccio Akami and Carpaccio O-Toro for a three-tier tasting experience that showcases the full spectrum of Bluefin Tuna flavors.
For chefs seeking a versatile, premium, and visually stunning cut, Carpaccio Chu-Toro is an essential addition to the menu. Consider pairing it with our T-Bone Bluefin Tuna for a full multi-texture experience.
