The Jinbeh Story

In Japanese, "tataki" means "to hit" or "to pound." The fish is tenderized by pounding it thin, then barely seared on the outside so it stays beautifully rare inside. A very traditional Japanese preparation served with our house-made ponzu sauce.

Origin & Tradition

While tartare originated in French cuisine, the Japanese interpretation emphasizes subtlety: less acid, more umami, and a focus on the pure flavor of the fish.

πŸŽͺ The Experience

The tartare is presented over diced avocado, topped with scallions and sesame seeds. Scoop it onto crispy wonton chips for cool, silky tuna, creamy avocado, and satisfying crunch in one bite.

πŸ₯— Nutrition Spotlight

Raw ahi tuna delivers 25g protein with only 120 calories per 4oz serving. The avocado adds healthy fats and potassium. Sesame oil provides vitamin E.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between tuna tartare and seared tuna?

Tuna tartare is hand-diced raw tuna mixed with seasonings. completely uncooked and focused on the pure, clean flavor of the fish. Seared tuna has a pepper-sesame crust and is briefly seared, giving it a thin cooked exterior with a raw center. Both showcase our sushi-grade ahi tuna beautifully.
