Chu-toro the traditional way


Boiling water bath for 10 seconds, marinated in soy sauce for 1 hour, torched to melt the fat. This might be the best tuna dish I’ve had anywhere, and I got to do it at home!

Does anyone know about this “traditional method” – I saw it in a video with an old chef, but couldn’t verify it anywhere else. Any knowledge around that?

  1. To answer your question, no, but holy crap that’s amazing looking. Where’d you get the fatty tuna?

  2. I’ve seen this done at a famous sushi place in Tokyo, dude boiled the tuna for about 10 secs, marinated for about an hour in soy/sake/mirin and then charred it on a weber. It was insanely good.
