All-natural Yellowtail Fillets of Tuna are among the sushi/sashimi-grade products sold under the Satoko Japan label available to export markets from Ocean Rim Japan, Inc. Distributed in 150-gram vacuum packages, the thaw-and-slice fillets may be cut into half-inch pieces of sashimi or Italian-style carpaccio. The supplier sources the tuna and other organically-grown fish in its line exclusively from farms in waters off Goto Island in Kyushu, Hiburi Island, Shikoku, and the Uwa Sea off Shikoku. "The fillets are convenient to serve guests at home. You just take a bag out of the freezer, remove the contents from outer packaging and leave it in the refrigerator to thaw for about five hours," said Satoko Otsu, executive officer of the company's Seattle, Washington-based distribution arm for North America. Other products in the range include Smoked Sea Bream and Sea Bream Fillets.
