Bluefin Tuna Cutting Ceremony

This event features a traditional Japanese tuna-cutting ceremony at Okonori, where skilled chefs hand-cut a whole bluefin tuna weighing over 200 pounds. Guests will witness this ritualistic preparation up close from the restaurant counter, honoring a culinary tradition that celebrates the fish. The evening begins at 3:30 PM with passed appetizers and live jazz music, allowing time to settle in before the main ceremony starts at 5:30 PM. After the cutting demonstration, diners enjoy an extensive tasting of the fish prepared as nigiri and sashimi, sampling different cuts ranging from the leaner akami to the richer chutoro and otoro varieties. The experience continues until the entire fish is served and finished. Tickets are $228 per person with tax and fees included; beverages can be purchased separately. Because seating is limited, families interested in attending should plan ahead. This is a wonderful outing for those curious about Japanese culinary traditions and willing to try premium seafood in an intimate, educational setting.
