Primary cuts
Yellowfin tuna is processed into four loins, two top (akami) loins and two bottom (otoro) loins, each type is distinct and used for specific dishes.
Akami
Akami, or top loin, has leaner meat with a slightly more intense flavour. It's ideal for sashimi carpaccio, gourmet, and grilling.
Otoro
Otoro is the fattiest part of a tuna, especially near the belly. It has a sophisticated taste and distinctive fat marbling .
