Product Details:

• Weight: 12g per slice (Approx. 240g per pack), 20 slices per pack
  
• Condition: Comes frozen
  
• Grade: Sashimi-Grade (Ready-to-eat raw)
  
• Texture: Firm, "snappy," and smooth—prized for its clean bite and creamy finish

Guidelines to Defrost:

• Remove the slices from the freezer.
  
• Place the unopened pack in the chiller (0–4°C) for 2–4 hours until thawed.
  
• For quicker thawing, submerge the sealed vacuum pack in cold water for 15–20 minutes.
  
• Pat each slice gently with reed paper/kitchen towel before serving to remove excess moisture and enhance the "sticky-sweet" umami.

Best Ways To Prepare:

• Nigiri Sushi: Simply place a thawed slice over a small ball of seasoned sushi rice.
  
• Sashimi: Arrange the slices on a bed of shredded daikon.
  
• Aburi Style: Lightly score the surface with a knife and use a kitchen torch for 2 seconds to give it a smoky aroma and a slightly curled, decorative look.

💡 Best served with: A small dab of wasabi and a light dip in soy sauce. For a true Japanese twist, try it with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of Sudachi or Lime instead of soy sauce to highlight its natural sweetness.

❄️ Once thawed:
Store in chiller (0–4°C) and consume within the same day for the best sashimi quality
