First Ōma Tuna of the Season!

Bluefin tuna from Ōma in Aomori—now virtually synonymous with premium tuna.

This is Yahata Sushi’s first delivery of the season.

During the summer, we mainly use fresh bluefin tuna from the east coast of North America—Boston, New York, Canada, and elsewhere—but now that tuna from the Tsugaru Strait is coming into its own, we will be sourcing it.

Our supplier is Inara Shoten, a company our family has trusted completely for generations.

They have been working with Yahata Sushi for more than 70 years.

And the person who selects our tuna is Inara’s chief buyer.

With tuna like that, there is no way it could be anything but delicious.

The toro has a fine texture and melts in the mouth, while the lean meat is moist, with a delicate hint of acidity.

Wonderful as sashimi, and of course as nigiri as well.

We cannot guarantee a steady supply just yet, but even when it is unavailable, we will serve you the finest fresh bluefin tuna—so please look forward to it!
