BIG FISH - A tuna carving matsuri
All he needs is a big fish ... and a big knife!
The Bluefin tuna is thought by many to be the real king of the ocean. Living up to 40 years, they can dive deeper than 3,000 feet and migrate across all oceans. If you have ever seen a whole blue fin tuna in the flesh you know just how majestic they are.
And if you haven’t.. Well do we have an event for you!
Watch as Chef Yosuke Furukawa, with over 15 years of training and a profound love for Bluefin tuna, breaks down the entire fish right before your eyes and transforms it into an array of dishes, prepared and served as the event unfolds.
