About Akami
Akami, often referred to as the lean, red meat of tuna, is a prized ingredient in Japanese cuisine, particularly sushi and sashimi. Derived from the less fatty parts of the fish, Akami boasts a firm texture, clean flavor, and vibrant appearance. Packed with high-quality protein, it is an excellent source of essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and selenium, which contribute to heart health, brain function, and immunity. Unlike the fattier Otoro and Chutoro cuts, Akami is lower in calories and fat, making it a healthier choice for those seeking a lighter option. However, moderation is key due to concerns about mercury levels in tuna, especially for frequent consumers. Whether served raw, seared, or marinated, Akami offers a satisfying balance between taste and nutrition that celebrates the artistry of Japanese culinary traditions.
