    depends on the stage of the meal – I like to have otoro as a dessert piece, akami more towards the beginning.

    I’d pass on all three for the Uni and Ikura

    Chutoro is the one I find most consistently impresses. Otoro can sometimes be a little tough or chewy and akami can sometimes be a little dry or boring, but chutoro usually impresses, imo.

    That said, I’m honestly a huge fan of negitoro, too, and have frequently opted for it over all 3 (although I allow price to factor in) so perhaps my opinion isn’t valid.

    They’re all great, but I think otoro and chutoro have been most memorable for me

  5. For a few bites, otoro. But kinda like a5 wagyu for me, a little goes a long way. After that I’d probably want more chutoro.

    Thank you for sharing the sushi photos. They all look truly exquisite. As a Japanese person, I must say that the fatty tuna (Otoro) and sea urchin (Uni) are always exceptional. Thank you for the wonderful treat for my eyes.

    Is it a weeny response to say all have a proper place. All can be delicious and when served side by side, a contrast could prove an interesting experience.
