  • The blocks are individually packed and vacuumed.
  • Pole Caught

  • Saku blocks are not injected or vacuum tumbled with any chemicals or processing aids
  • Free of all off-odors/flavors and possess characteristic color and texture for the species

For Your Menu

Serve it up raw – sashimi, sushi, ceviche, or crudo – tastes great and pairs well with all kinds of flavors.


For Your Waitstaff

Depending on how the chef is preparing Tuna it can pair with a variety of wines – red, white, rose, sparkling – and if you’re serving it sushi-style, suggest some sake!
