Imported from Kagoshima, Japan

This hamachi is sourced from Kagoshima Prefecture, one of Japan’s respected regions for premium aquaculture and high-quality yellowtail.

Each cut is carefully processed, vacuum packed, and shipped to preserve the clean flavor, high fat content, and smooth texture that make Japanese hamachi a sushi bar favorite.

Why Hamachi?

Hamachi, also known as Japanese yellowtail, is prized for its balance of richness and freshness.

It offers:

• buttery texture
• clean, mild flavor
• high natural fat content
• smooth mouthfeel
• excellent raw-eating quality

It sits in a perfect middle ground between lean tuna and richer salmon, making it one of the most versatile sushi fish.

Choose Your Cut

Toro Fillet / Belly Cut

The richer, fattier cut with a softer texture and more luxurious mouthfeel. Best for sashimi, nigiri, crudo, or thin slicing.

Center-Cut Loin

Cleaner, more structured, and easier to slice evenly. Best for sashimi, poke, hand rolls, light searing, or portioning for multiple dishes.

Both Cuts

The best option for a full hamachi experience—belly for richness, loin for clean structure and versatility.

Flavor & Texture

Expect a refined sushi-grade fish with:

• rich, buttery flavor
• clean finish
• silky texture
• mild sweetness
• no strong fishy taste

High-quality hamachi should taste clean, rich, and balanced.

How to Prepare

Hamachi is best enjoyed simply.

Sashimi / Nigiri

Slice thin with a sharp knife and serve chilled with soy sauce, fresh wasabi, or yuzu kosho.

Poke or Rice Bowls

Cube the loin and pair with sushi rice, scallions, sesame, soy, citrus, or ikura.

Lightly Seared

Quickly sear the surface while keeping the center rare for a warm, buttery bite.

Fresh or Frozen

This product is available fresh or frozen depending on your selection.

Fresh hamachi may be frozen during shipment depending on the other items in your order. Frozen hamachi can be stored and thawed slowly in the refrigerator before serving.

For best quality, thaw overnight under refrigeration and enjoy the same day once opened.
