We don’t always buy the most expensive tuna. This is big eye tuna called Mebachi and is often offered in cheap sushi restaurants as tuna🍣

Compared to bluefin, so called the best, it has less fat. But we know how to enjoy this the best😍

I cannot count how many times my family and relatives ate this together in our grandparents’ house.

This is easy and quick where there are always fish in fridge, so usually we ate/ eat this as a quick lunch.

After soaking tuna in soy sauce, the surface of tuna gets a bit viscosity and unbelievably delicious!🤤

Nowadays it seems more popular to mix mirin, sesame oil, such stuff to soy sauce of this marine sauce, but in our house we loved using just simple soy sauce(our grand mother put sugar as well) because the big eye tuna itself tasted amazing🎉

This fish block cost about 3.5 USD.

Ps. It was not easy to get my new cat away during the shooting. Everyone loves this..🤤
