Kamashita Sushi (Fatty Tuna Collar) Description, Taste, Photos

πŸ“• Description: Kamashita Sushi, also called kamatoro sushi or fatty tuna collar sushi, is one of the most marbled pieces of fatty tuna you can get from a bluefin tuna. It is found in the back portion of the bluefin tuna collar. Kamashita Sushi is a rare cut of the bluefin tuna and is usually only found at the most high-end sushi restaurants.

πŸ˜‹ Taste: Kamashita Sushi tastes like one of the fattiest pieces of tuna you will ever have. This cut of bluefin tuna is so fat marbled that it literally begins to melt the second you put in your mouth. The texture of the fatty tuna collar is soft and has a fall apart chew. Kamashita Sushi can be found served as-is, with a touch of shoyu or with different variations of sea salt.

πŸ“† Season: The ideal season for Kamashita sushi is winter but it is possible to find it during the rest of the year. Finding fatty tuna collar is dependent on the availability on very large bluefin tuna.
