Garlic Soy Marinated Albacore
Garlic Soy Marinated Albacore features thin slices of sashimi-grade tuna brushed with a warm garlic-infused soy sauce. The marinade combines toasted sesame oil infused with sliced garlic, soy sauce, scallion, and grated ginger to create a savory, aromatic glaze. This dish highlights the delicate texture of albacore tuna and is typically served immediately with optional yuzu tobiko for a pop of briny contrast.
