Bincho (Albacore)tuna Block

Bincho tuna is the smallest of the tuna species, measuring about 1 meter in length and weighing 25 to 30 kg. It is easily distinguished at a glance by its pinkish, almost white flesh. In particular, the fat in the fatty part of the tuna, which is called “albacore tuna,” is so fatty that it appears whitish pink in color.

The fatty part of the tuna, called “Bintoro,” has a whitish-pink color and is characterized by its “mild and melt-in-your-mouth” flavor. Although it is fatty, it melts in the mouth and has a refreshing aftertaste. Compared to other types of tuna, it has a lighter flavor, so we recommend cooking it with oil sauce and other accents, such as carpaccio. It also has few peculiarities, making it easy to eat even for those who do not like Pacific bluefin tuna.
