This Time We Visit "Tuna Shimahara" in Jimbocho 🎣🍻✨️ Theme is "Conveying the Charm of Tuna" with Natural Bluefin Tuna from Ireland | Gurutto Tokyo Reporter

This time we are visiting "Tuna Shimahara" in Jimbocho 🎣🍻✨️
The theme is "Conveying the Charm of Tuna" where you can enjoy natural bluefin tuna from Ireland not just as sashimi, but also as yakiniku, yukhoe, and even toro-taku. 🥰

Firstly, we begin with a comparison tasting of lean, medium fatty, and fatty tuna cuts. ✨️
What surprised me was that there was hardly any fishy smell from any of them. 😮 The lean cut was chewy and rich in flavor, while the medium fatty was melting blissfully in the mouth. The fatty tuna was incredibly sweet with its fat, and although it’s the same tuna, each cut had a completely different taste. 😋💕

Uniquely here, they also offer tuna yakiniku! 🔥
Apart from red meat and kamatoro, they also have heart, hearts, and even rare tuna offals that are hard to find elsewhere!

The offals, recommended to be well-cooked, were deliciously seasoned, making it one that goes amazingly well with drinks. 😂🍶

The parts can also be eaten as sashimi, so it’s nice to enjoy them at your preferred level of doneness. ✨️ Even slightly grilled, they get an added smokiness for a different kind of yummy taste. 😌

Their limited dish, the rich egg yolk yukhoe, is a luxurious yukhoe combining medium fatty and lean cuts of tuna. 🥚💕
It is so soft, like meat, and mixed with the rich yolk, it becomes even more mellow and delightful!

Personally shocking was the super thick toro-taku roll 😂✨️
Trying to casually take a bite, I was like, “Wow, it’s huge!” It came as such a surprise that I thought my jaw would drop. 😂😂
Packed densely with toro-taku, the satisfaction from a single bite was overwhelming! It was an incredibly satisfying roll. 💕

The drinks are also abundant with many selections from Kochi, including sake, shochu, and tea. 🍶 Pairing them with the tuna is another delightful attraction. ✨️

They periodically hold tuna carving shows inside the store. 🎣🔥 The next one is scheduled for October 4, 2026!

It’s a place where you can enjoy various ways of eating tuna, not just as sashimi, but also grilled, mixed, and rolled. 🥰

Highly recommended for tuna lovers. 🎣💕
