Kisumé Bluefin Tuna Masterclass

Overview

If you take sashimi seriously, pop this one in the diary. Exceptional Flinders Lane restaurant Kisumé is running an exclusive series of bluefin tuna masterclasses in July and August.

The night starts with an entire bluefin tuna. You'll get front row seats as one of Kisumé's master chefs breaks down the behemoth fish, piece by piece. It's a chance to sample the best cuts – akami (red meat, upper back), chu-toro (belly meat, slightly fatty) and o-toro (belly again, full fat) – straight from the chef's knife. Doesn't get much fresher than that.

Bluefin tuna is one of the most hallowed ingredients on the planet – some of these fish can fetch up to $3 million at auction. Kisumé's might not reach those prohibitively expensive heights but you'll still get to experience some of the best tuna of your life.

Each masterclass also comes with an accompanying five-course feast, including crispy wagyu truffle with truffled miso, king prawn tempura with black garlic and kataifi pastry, and tuna tartare with crispy nori and wasabi. A seat at the table will set you back $225.

There are three sessions left: July 9, July 23 and August 6. Bookings essential for this one.
