  • Kaisen Donburi:
  • 150 g bluefin negitoro
  • 115 g (4 oz) ikura
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 shiso leaf
  • wasabi for garnish
  • Sauce
  • 1 tbsp YUZUCO 100% Yuzu Juice
  • ½ tbsp cooking sake
  • ½ tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

Step 1
Combine YUZUCO 100% Yuzu Juice, cooking sake, mirin, sugar, soy sauce, and dashi powder in a small bowl and stir until dissolved, then set aside.
Step 2
Cook the rice according to package instructions, about 20 minutes.
Step 3
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil, add the dashi packet, YUZUCO 100% Yuzu Juice, sake, and mirin, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Using a very sharp knife, finely mince the sashimi-grade tuna, scraping and folding it repeatedly until it reaches a smooth, paste-like consistency, or use pre-made negitoro.

Add rice to a serving bowl and top generously with negitoro and ikura.
Step 6
Place the shiso leaf and wasabi on the side and drizzle the sauce over the bowl before eating.

Pour the hot ochazuke broth into the bowl and enjoy immediately.
