Misaki Maguro (Bluefin Tuna)
A single slice of glossy, deep-red meat. When picked up with chopsticks, it has a moist, clinging thickness; the moment it hits your mouth, it melts away, followed by a refreshing acidity and a rich umami flavor. Moving to the Otoro (fatty tuna), you experience the sweetness of fat that dissolves with the heat of your tongue—this is true wild bluefin tuna, the pride of Misaki Port at the tip of the Miura Peninsula. Misaki is a port town known nationwide for its tuna landings. Once landed, the tuna is generously served in various forms: sashimi, bowls, and sushi. The sharp umami of the Akami (lean meat), the mellow richness of the Chutoro (medium fatty tuna), and the melting texture of the Otoro—a single fish offers many different expressions. Enjoying each slice while gazing out at the sea is a luxury that can only be experienced in Misaki.
