About TAKASHIMA Bluefin Tuna

From catching to shipping

Tuna are delicate fish.
Tuna react to even the smallest changes in their environments by swimming at top speed, which often leads to collisions with other fish and bruising.
After strenuous exercise, the color of the fish’s flesh changes and the taste deteriorates.
In order to avoid these types of problems s, our company has developed special techniques for harvesting.
