Guidelines to defrost (Saltwater Jumpstart Method)
Prepare Saltwater Solution: Dissolve 60g of sea salt into 2 liters of cold water (a 3% saltwater solution) in a medium container. Add ice cubes to keep the liquid temperature strictly below 10°C.

Saltwater Soak: Remove all packaging and submerge the unwrapped tuna slab directly into the icy saltwater for 30–45 minutes (do not exceed 45 minutes for 200g–400g cuts). This softens the outer layer while preventing oxidation.

Rinse & Dry: Remove the tuna, wash in a bowl of cold water to clear any salt residue or debris, and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels/reed paper.

Controlled Fridge Defrost: Wrap the tuna tightly in cling wrap or seafood paper, ensuring no air/oxygen is trapped inside. Place in the fridge (1–6°C) for 2–4 hours until fully defrosted and soft to the touch.

Slicing:
Unwrap the defrosted slab, pat dry again, and portion into your desired Saku blocks. Using a sharp sashimi knife, cut against the grain into 5mm–8mm thick slices.

Resting & Serving:
Serve immediately after slicing while still pleasantly chilled.

Storage Instructions:
