I had some delicious blue fin tuna nigiri tonight! Is this considered otoro or chutoro? Thanks all!

1. Chu

   Edit: fully prepared to discuss with chefs, aficionado’s, nihongin or fishermen.

2. I’d say chutoro. If the sinew were thicker and there was more marbling, than otoro. Otoro often falls apart on the slicing , and this is firmly together.

3. Chutoro. Not enough fat for O. The piece behind looks more like O but that might be the lighting.

4. I want some toro!
