toro notten
honmaguro
I've only seen this listed at Masa.
Where do all the heads land?
Hey, I'll "settle" for hoho-niku!

re: TheDescendedLefticleOfAramis
I am having a hard time sorting thru the computer weird word abbreviations like " etc. Anyway, honmaguro is giant blue fin and every good place gets it when they can. So, I don't know what it is that Masa has that no one else has. Kanoyama, uses many parts of the big bluefin including the eyeball and socket, also the ribs, and the guts. 15 East uses the tail, and serves various different parts of the meat from top to bottom. Very few ever eat the meat from the head, but I know a sushi chef in Japan who says the head meat is his favorite part of the tuna.
Hoho niku is beef cheeks, nothing to do with tuna. Brushstroke sometimes serves pork cheeks, kyo ya used to serve beef tongue.-----
