-About ingredients-

Bigeye tuna is a type of bluefin tuna that is known as a high-quality fish. Bigeye tuna means"tuna whose eyes are shaped like a bowl"in Japanese.

Bigeye tuna lives in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. They increase in size as they grow, and can reach up to 3 meters or more in length. Therefore, it will take several years before it hits the market.

Bigeye tuna is characterized by its beautiful lean flesh and high fat content. Therefore, it is very popular as sushi and sashimi. In particular, otoro (the fattest part) and medium fatty tuna (slightly fatty part) are known for their luxurious taste.

However, there are concerns about the conservation of bigeye tuna due to excessive fishing and overfishing. Therefore, sustainable fishing and aquaculture are encouraged and international regulations are in place.

Bigeye tuna is known as a high-quality fish, but its value varies depending on personal preference and supply and demand. When eating food, it is important to consider sustainable fishing practices and gather appropriate information.
