Marinated cured tuna sushi, often known as “Maguro Zuke” features tuna that has been marinated or cured in a soy-based mixture.
The marination process imparts a bold umami flavor to the tuna, complemented by the savory notes of soy sauce. The texture can vary but is generally tender with a slightly firmer consistency compared to fresh tuna.
The result is a unique combination of salty, sweet, and savory flavors, making marinated cured tuna sushi a delightful and flavorful choice for those seeking a more intense taste experience.
