Lean meat of tuna (Akami)
【Nigiri sushi: Akami】
The lean meat of tuna has less fat so it is the part that easily demonstrates the quality in its taste. Top-quality lean meat has a smooth texture, an elegant acidity, and there are a subtle sweetness and rich aroma in the fat. Whether it is raw and unaltered or soaked in soy sauce, you will get a sense of the chef’s artistry.
