Date Maguro - Japanese Farm-Raised Bluefin Tuna

The dwindling population of Bluefin tuna due to overfishing has reached an alarming state due to the world's high demand for this seafood commodity. To help sustain consumption of Bluefin tuna, a new natural famring operation has been developed over the years just offshore of Uwajima city in Shikoku island.

This farming system combines nature and latest technology which aims for superior quality while being mindful of protecting the environment. The fish is also raised on natural feed, with no use of pellets to optimize the taste. The tuna is fished individually with hand-line so it does not stress or damage the fish upon harvesting.

Toro, the fattiest part of the tuna has a beautiful and delicate marbling which melts on your tongue as you eat. It also has a pleasant aftertaste, unlike any other farm raised Bluefin tuna thanks to the natural feed.
