Tuna Overload

An admission: I went a little tuna crazy yesterday at Sushi Zanmai. They offer a “maguro zanmai set” for 3000 yen (about $27) that features:

• 2 pieces of maguro (red, not so fatty tuna)
• 2 pieces of chuu-toro (medium fatty tuna)
• 2 pieces of o-toro (very fatty tuna)
• 2 pieces of seared chuu-toro
• 2 pieces of negi-toro
• 1 tekamaki (tuna roll)

Originally we were going to order one of these and share it, but then I got worried about having to fight with the two girls over which pieces of fish I was going to get, so I decided to get my own.

I’m glad I did — it was wonderful, but it was also a bit of a disappointment, becuase after eating half a tuna, I only had room left for a shrimp and an uni before I felt like I was going to explode.
