@space_tamnik: This tuna is covered in mold🤯 At first glance, it looks like something you’d throw away—but it’s actually bluefin tuna being aged to its peak. The tuna is aged with mold for four weeks, reducing moisture while concentrating its natural umami. Although the outside becomes covered in a layer of white mold, the inside retains its vibrant red color. The flavor is rich and complex, with cheese-like umami and subtle nutty notes. Even with just a sprinkle of salt, the umami really shines. It’s expected to be commercially available sometime next year, so you may be able to try it soon. #tuna #japanesefood #blufintuna #moldaged
