Tuna Saku (さく) refers to sashimi-grade tuna cut into rectangular blocks, ideal for preparing sushi, sashimi, poke bowls, or grilling. The blocks are flash-frozen to preserve quality and color.

The Akami cut comes from the redder part of the tuna, which contains less fat than, for example, Otoro. It is meat from the main muscle part above the spine, which gives it its special color and consistency.
