Can't get enough of this! My wife always says "YES!!!" when I suggest it for dinner. You would have to pay a lot more if you ordered this out. Just like the other reviews say - Very simple to make. Get the best tuna you can and make sure there is no brown on it which suggests that it's been sitting there for a while.

We can tuna every summer and this recipe has become a staple of our canning parties. Always tasty and yet so simple.

Amazing! and extremely simple... My guests thought I ordered it from one of Waikiki's great restaurants... And left over Ahi (aka tuna is better the next day.
Note: I used Sashimi grade Ahi, so it would have been amazing without ever touching heat.
I also added a little low sodium shoyu (soy sauce and some ginger powder to the sauce and let it sit over night.
