Tuna tataki in sesame crust with coriander sauce
Contrary to what many thinks, the word "tataki" in Japanese means "shredded" and
refers to the ginger reduced almost to paste that is used as part of the seasoning.
Legend says that this recipe was invented by a samurai in 1800, after seeing a group of
Europeans roasting fish. The perfect match between Japanese and European cuisine.

Chef’s tips
Do not overcook the tuna, otherwise it will be stringy. Instead of wine vinegar
you can use more delicate apple vinegar, thus avoiding adding sugar.
