Otoro - The fattiest part of the bluefin tuna is called otoro (大トロ). Otoro has a characteristic sophisticated taste and a distinctive fat marbling which makes it melt in your mouth. Many people think this is the best part of the tuna, and it’s usually the most expensive. Too much fat is also a bad thing as it can be overly greasy making it less enjoyable.
Chutoro - Chutoro (中トロ) is medium-fatty tuna. Many will argue it’s the best cut from the bluefin. While not as rich as otoro, chutoro has a moderate fattiness and a can be enjoyed for a reasonable price, which makes it a very popular cut.
Akami - Akami (赤身) is lean red meat. It has a mellow flavor, good umami, and a firm texture. It is the most common tuna sushi that is served in dining restaurants in Japan.
