Let's Talk Tataki
Hunting & Gathering
SRQ DAILY FRIDAY WEEKEND EDITION

Chicken of the Sea, ahi, maguro—whatever moniker you choose to call your tuna by, it remains one of the most esteemed ingredients found in Japanese cooking. And Sarasota Sake House knows how to use it. Though only made from a handful of simple ingredients routinely found in any Asian kitchen, here they combine in such harmonious accord that Sake House's Tuna Tataki is rendered a thing of blissful beauty. Layers of sliced rare rosé-pink fish melt like butter at first bite—the added omega fattiness of thinly-cut avocado keeps the entire mouthful just creamy enough. The spicy mayo drizzled on top bleeds into the sweet ponzu sauce, cutting the subtle punch of Sriracha spice while a sprinkling of scallion provides a tiny crunch. Ready your chopsticks and reach nirvana.
Sarasota Sake House, 1987 Ringling Blvd., Sarasota, 941-312-6256.
