A variety of tuna that is very important in Japanese cooking. It is rarely eaten fresh and is usually dried into cubes. Special tools are used to remove shavings or flakes from the cubes, which are then used as an ingredient in Asian soups and sauces. The flakes can also be used in other fish recipes and sprinkled over steamed vegetables.
