All 8 Tuna Dishes
#1
Toro Tartare
Akira BackCentral·$$
Fatty tuna tartare served with caviar, nine house-made condiments inspired by Korean royal cuisine, and crispy rice
Tip: The caviar sits on top. Mix it in sparingly—a little goes a long way in terms of saltiness and umami
#2
AB Tuna Pizza
Akira BackCentral·$$
Fresh tuna sashimi on crisp wood-fired crust with ponzu aioli, white truffle oil, and microgreens
Tip: This is the signature starter, not a traditional pizza. The tuna is sushi-grade and stays raw. Don't overcook it

Aged Toro Nigiri
Sushi SaitoCentral·$$$$
Fatty tuna aged for maximum umami and tender texture.
Tip: If you've had good toro elsewhere, this will change your expectations. The difference between 1-day aged and Saito's method is remarkable.

Aged Toro with Truffle Caviar
Sushi ZoCentral·$$$
Fatty tuna topped with Australian winter truffle and lumpfish caviar.
Tip: This is the most photographed dish at Sushi Zo — the visual contrast of black truffle, red toro and gold caviar is striking. Feel free to snap a pic before eating.

Aged Toro and Chu-Toro Progression
Sushi MamoruWan Chai·$$$
Evolution of fatty tuna from medium-fat to premium belly, demonstrating aging progression.
Tip: This progression demonstrates the aging philosophy — observe how flavour deepens and texture transforms as aging extends from 3 to 7 days. Chef Chiba explains each piece's aging timeline.

Seared Toro Nigiri
ZuichoSheung Wan·$$$
Fatty tuna lightly seared and served as nigiri sushi.
Tip: This course represents kappo philosophy — it's neither pure raw omakase nor fully cooked kaiseki. It's the chef's creative interpretation of both traditions.

Aged Toro Nigiri
Sushi ShikonCentral·$$$$
Premium fatty tuna belly aged for peak umami and marbling.
Tip: Pay attention to how the chef grips the rice and fish — the angle and pressure affect how it sits on your palate and dissolves. This level of detail is why three stars were awarded.

Udatsu SushiTsim Sha Tsui·$$$
Fatty tuna aged for textural refinement and maximum umami.
