BLUEFIN TORO - otoro and chutoro

The Jewel of Our World’s Oceans – Luxe Gourmets invites America’s gourmet seafood connoisseurs to experience one of the world’s rarest and most sought-after luxury foods. The finest grade of Japan’s foremost delicacy, the Bluefin tuna. Grade #1 quality Otoro and Chutoro, shipped fresh overnight to your home.

Did you know that a single Bluefin tuna can sell for millions of dollars at the famous Tsukiji Fish Auction in Tokyo? The largest species of tuna, the mighty Bluefin is the most coveted and desired large fish in the world. It is a symbol of both luxury, and excellent taste. Of all the cuts of this fish, it is the fatty underbelly, (the “Toro”), that is the most expensive, and the most desired. This Toro is the source of the two finest portions of Bluefin: One is called “Otoro” and the other, “Chutoro.” Both are rare and in high demand—hitherto almost exclusively reserved for the top restaurants in Japan, and usually only available in America to Michelin-starred chefs. But now, thanks to Luxe Gourmets, seafood lovers throughout the USA can enjoy fresh, raw Otoro and Chutoro in their highest grade (Grade #1), right at home.

Bluefin Otoro - Supreme Fat

Just as the Bluefin is the king of the tuna world, “Otoro” is the queen jewel of the Bluefin.

Whether you are a professional sushi artist, an amateur Japanese cuisine chef, or simply a lover of sushi, you fit into one of two categories: those who have tasted Bluefin Otoro, and those who have not.  If you haven’t tried this delicacy, no words or description can give you the experience.  That is how special Otoro is.  Cut from the underbelly of the Bluefin tuna, Otoro is the part of the Bluefin with the softest texture, the highest omega-3-rich fat content, and the most enchanting taste.  The marbling on this fish is exquisite, and some compare it to the finest cuts of beef.  Once you taste this most decadent of all of the ocean’s treasures, you will never forget it.

Bluefin Chutoro - Medium Fat

Just like our highest-quality tuna (Otoro), Chutoro also comes from the fatty underbelly of the Bluefin tuna.  Chutoro is slightly lower in fat than Otoro and has a less intense taste, but its supreme flavor and soft flesh still make it one of the finest delicacies to come from the sea.  We catch our Bluefin only in the wintertime, when its taste is the finest; so there is a great advantage to ordering Chutoro that has been “SuperFrozen™” rather than fresh. Thanks to Luxe Gourmets, you can enjoy the excellence of winter Chutoro during any month of the year.

recipe
 
 
Aburi Ōtoro on Basil Risotto

This verdant risotto uses a savory vegetable stock as its base and is finished with the intense color and aroma of fresh basil juice. The last minute addition of some pecorino romano not only adds body but boosts the glutamic acid content of the risotto making it the perfect base to serve the buttery ōtoro (tuna belly) on. By torching the surface of the ōtoro, it melts most of the fat in the tuna making each bite dissolve into a rich pool of briny flavor that's a perfect compliment to the herbaceous risotto.
