How to identify this dish
What it is
Pressed sushi rice topped with fatty tuna belly, richer and more buttery than regular tuna nigiri.
How to recognize it
The tuna topping often looks paler and more marbled than maguro because of its higher fat content.
For beginners
It is raw and has a bold, very silky profile, so regular maguro nigiri may be a simpler first comparison.
Raw fish or seafood
Yes, in the catalogue version.
