Sesame-Crusted Seared Tuna

Archaeological remains indicate that maguro, tuna, has been eaten in Japan since ancient times. But it was relatively recently, toward the end of the Edo Era (1600 to 1868), that tuna gained its present popularity. Thoroughly cooking tuna firms and dries its flesh. In Japan, therefore, tuna is eaten mainly as sashimi or in sushi, although there are some traditional recipes in which tuna is cooked, such as negima-nabe.
