The bounty of the sea, the passion of people.
Everything is part of what makes Kurogin maguro so tasty.
The ocean around Japan is home to tasty smaller fish that nourish tasty maguro.
Japanese maguro is truly one of a kind. The reason is closely linked to Japan's geography as an island nation surrounded by the vast ocean. The complex, winding coastline is the perfect environment for small fish, and plenty of nourishment is carried from the land to the shoals where plankton, a major source of nutrition for the ocean, thrive. The small fish and squid that feed on the plankton grow up healthy, and in turn, they fatten the tuna that feed on them, resulting in deeper umami. The flavor of maguro is defined by what tuna feeds on.

The bounty of the sea is embodied in maguro,
giving it a truly unique flavor.
Ocean currents also surround the country, making it home to some of the leading fishing grounds on the planet. Maguro that live in the sea off Japan are known for their red meat and melt-in-the mouth texture which is packed with umami as they swim leisurely through the currents. They are sometimes tossed around by rough water, which gives them even richer flavor. Each and every tuna embodies the bounty of the ocean.
