Prep

Aged 7 days, nikiri soy

Pairs with

A glass of dry junmai, served cool

Our bluefin comes from day boats off Cape Cod and Gloucester, landed whole in Boston and driven down the same night. Ryo ages the belly for about a week, until the fat turns soft and the flavor deepens.

It is cut thin, brushed with house nikiri and served right away, because the rice should still be warm when it reaches you. One order is two pieces.
