28-Day Dry-Aged Otoro (Premium Cut) represents the absolute apex of tuna craftsmanship. Cut from the fattiest, most prized section of bluefin tuna belly, this Otoro undergoes an exacting 28-day dry-aging process that only a handful of specialists can execute safely and consistently.
Our store is one of only five places in the United States that professionally dry-age fish, operating under rigorously controlled temperature, humidity, and airflow. Over 28 days, moisture is gently reduced while natural enzymes refine texture and amplify umami - transforming pristine fat into a cleaner, silkier melt and elevating flavor depth without any fishiness.
Trimmed to a chef-grade premium cut, this Otoro delivers unmatched marbling, clarity, and elegance - designed for the most discerning sashimi and nigiri experiences.

I ordered two pounds of 28 day dry aged Toro along with 50 grams of Osetra Cavier. Both came fresh and secure to my door. Niki from Vancouver BC had checked in with me several times to ensure my items were in top condition. I will be shopping at The Local Market in Bellevue Washington when I'm in town. The owners are caring and provided great service. P.S. the package came with a pound of wild King Salmon and it was tasty and smoked just right.
Ordered their A5 wagyu and dry-aged Otoro. We loved it.
