Best Answer

Because there are basically two types of what we westerners think of as 'tuna' in sushi, the lean cut of the fish, called 'akami' and the fattier part of the fish, cut from the belly region, called 'toro.' Tori is also graded up by the degree of fattiness, and can be referred to as 'toro,' 'chu-toro,' or 'o-toro.'

What is Saku Tuna?

The best answer I've found so far, was from when I worked in restaurants. The sushi we served was always fresh, real, and caught by local fisherman from around the world. Alas, all sushi is not made the same, I was told that the "block" sushi I saw at lower grade sushi establishments was made from the loose bits of tuna that are pasturized and molded into blocks. By the looks of it, this is what I suppose saku tuna is Edit: As far as I know Saku Tuna is yellowfined tuna that is labeled with Maguro, most often only used for labeling bluefin tuna. So you can call the tuna Maguro Tuna-Saku. I suppose it is a way to sell the cheaper yellowfin tuna to a higher price.
