Did you know troll-caught or pole-caught pacific albacore tuna (びんちょうマグロ) is considered sustainable and environmentally friendly (read more)? There is a misconception about the quality of albacore tuna because it is used in canned tuna. However, albacore tuna is really delicious with a mild flavor and tender texture when served as sashimi or sushi. I also like that it is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids than other tuna species.

Soft tender albacore tuna sashimi marinated in soy-sesame sauce served over rice. Garnish with shiso and scallion. Albacore Tuna Bowl (びんちょう鮪の漬け丼) is very easy to prepare. I use MSC Certified sashimi-grade albacore tuna that’s vacuum sealed for this dish. Simply defrost in the refrigerator for about 5-6 hours and it’s ready to enjoy. This rice bowl dish is flavored with soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sesame oil – the usual condiments for most Japanese meals. The meal is simple, yet make a quick special treat for the family at the end of a long day.
