Sprinkle the sauce on the rice.
Mix the rice with sauce. (Do not mix too much because the rice become too sticky.)

It taken from around the stomach of tuna, only about 15% of hall tuna body. It has right pink color and has white stripe. Next valuable portion is under the skin. It called Tyutoro (medium fat).
