Midolo di Vaglio alla Brace con Tartar di Tonno e Soia Invecchiata al Wasabi

Midolo di Vaglio alla Brace con Tartar di Tonno e Soia Invecchiata al Wasabi is a contemporary Italian-Japanese fusion dish that combines charcoal‑grilled bone marrow with a raw tuna tartare, finished with aged soy sauce and wasabi. The dish was popularized by the restaurant Rogi Anola in Rogolo, Italy, as featured on the culinary platform *Habemus Fame*. The name derives from "midollo" (marrow) and "vaglio," a local term for a specific beef or veal bone cut that yields a rich, gelatinous center when grilled over coals.

Key ingredients include the marrow bone, seared over an open fire until the interior is molten and smoky, and a fresh tartare of high‑grade tuna, diced and seasoned minimally to preserve its pristine flavor. The aged soy sauce—fermented for extended periods to deepen umami—is whisked with freshly grated wasabi, creating a pungent, savory dressing that bridges the two main components. A great version is distinguished by the contrast of textures: the unctuous, hot marrow against the cool, clean dice of tuna, and the sharp, lingering heat of wasabi cutting through the richness. The bone must be charred but not burnt, and the tuna must be sushi‑grade and ice‑cold.

Regional variations are rare due to the dish’s specific origins. Some interpretations substitute the tuna with hamachi or sea bream, or replace the wasabi‑soy with a yuzu‑soy emulsion. Outside Rogolo, chefs may grill marrow from other cuts or finish the tartare with micro‑herbs, but the core balance of fire, fat, and raw fish remains definitive. As prepared at Rogi Anola, the dish exemplifies the restaurant’s philosophy of marrying Lombardian grilling traditions with Japanese precision.
