CHUTORO

Description

Toro is the fatty part of the maguro, and it’s the prime meat that comes from the belly of the fish. With toro, you also have the Otoro and the Chutoro.

“O” means big and “Chu” means medium in Japanese. Chutoro is found near the skin on the back and belly. Because it straddles both types of tuna, it provides both a meaty and a fatty texture for a real celebration in your mouth.
