Shimizu Tuna O-toro Don

Shimizu City in Shizuoka Prefecture boasts one of the largest tuna catches in the country. With the beautiful surrounding scenery including a view of Mt. Fuji, Shimizu port is also considered one of the three most beautiful fishing ports in Japan. The best cuts of o-toro from Tuna landed at Shimizu port are used lavishly to make the ‘Shimizu tuna o-toro don’. The marbled meat is rich in oils and flavor, virtually melting in your mouth.
