Best Way To Prepare
Defrosting (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.

Serving Suggestions & Pairing Ideas
🍣 Duo Platter: Arrange slices of Akami and Chutoro side-by-side with fresh shiso leaves, freshly grated real wasabi, and premium soy sauce.
✈️ Tuna Tasting Pair: Enjoy in sequence—start with lean Akami to appreciate the pure tuna flavor, followed by Chutoro for a richer, silky finish.
🍶 Sake & Wine Pairing: Pair with a crisp Junmai Daiginjo Sake, a chilled dry white wine, or a clean Japanese Pilsner.

💡 Pro Tip:
🥢 Wasabi Balance: Enjoy Chutoro dipped lightly in soy sauce with a touch of wasabi, while pairing lean Akami with just a light accent of soy sauce to let its natural umami shine through!

Storage Instructions
❄️ Keep Frozen: Store at -18°C or below immediately upon arrival.
🧊 Immediate Consumption: Best enjoyed within 24 hours once defrosted to maintain peak color and ocean-fresh flavor.
🫙 After Slicing: Keep wrapped in food-safe wrap in the coldest part of the chiller if serving within a few hours.
