Big eye tuna - MEBACHI (メバチ鮪). Recently, TAIKO is buying quite big portion of Salmon, Tuna (Yes! Thanks supporters! ) so the big portion of tuna is much better for Nigiri sushi! Balanced protein and fat makes taste very good! Please try Tuna Nigiri @ TAIKO!

Piper - (SAYORI:さより). Piper is beautiful fish although she has very black inside Makoto made a SAYORI-nigiri for me, was sooo nice Please try them @TAIKO

Albacore tuna - Bin naga maguro 鬢長. Again, quite undervalued tuna in NZ and also in Japan. Many of them are processed to Canned Tuna but wait! Not bad as Sashimi/Sushi item I think. Because of the smallest size of Tuna, they do not have fatty belly (TORO : トロ) but have nice texture of meat. We have Big eye Tuna and Albacore Tuna tonight so please taste the difference of them at TAIKO!

Mackerel SABA - 鯖. Mackerel is one of the most popular fish in Japan. It has beautiful pattern on their skin and often very oily. In NZ, very undervalued but today's Mackerel is so good for Sushi/Sashimi. Makoto has already lightly pickled for Shime-Saba. Enjoy Mackerel at TAIKO today!

Broadbill (Sword fish) - MEKAJIKI 女梶木. Today's broadbill is perfect for SASHIMI! Teriyaki is also nice! Please try MEKAJIKI at TAIKO!
