Negitoro () is a Japanese dish of minced raw tuna made from toro (the fatty parts of tuna), which is served with negi (green onion). It is typically served with rice, often as sushi or as rice bowl topping called negitorodon.
==Origin== thumb|Donburi#Negitorodon|Negitoro-don Negitoro sushi rolls may have originated in 1964, at a sushi restaurant in the Minowa neighborhood of Tokyo. Chefs at Kintaro Sushi initially prepared them for consumption at staff meals, and they were later offered to customers. After a positive reception, the main location of Kintaro (in Asakusa) added them to its menu. Another theory credits chef Hiromasa Sasaki with their invention, of the Ginza restaurant Sushi Sasaki.
