More commonly known as the better, fattier cut of tuna from the belly of the beast. The beast that is your best friend, everyone's best friend once you get a taste. The gradient color of this cut is magic. Even you would want to draw, paint, or embody it. It should come as no surprise that I love fat in my foods; I’ve done whole collections on butter and olive oil. The way fat seduces my tongue and, consequently, my mind is a simple yet very real joy in my life. Every culture plays it differently, but the Otoro plays it extraordinarily here. Melt away your problems as the fish melts away in your mouth, leaving only that beautiful and succulent layer of fat remaining on your tongue.
