RECIPES | Tataki is a method of cooking that involves briefly searing meat or fish over a hot flame. The cooking technique originated in Japan’s Tosa Province, now part of Kōchi Prefecture. Legend has it that the first Japanese person to cook using the tataki method was 19th-century rebel samurai Sakamoto Ryōma, who picked up the European technique of grilling meat from the Europeans resident in Nagasaki at the time.
