Cut the tuna into 2−inch logs, 1 1/2 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches thick.  
Season the tuna with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk the wasabi and  
water together to form a loose paste. Using the potato threader, cut the  
potato into thin curl−like pieces. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.  
Divide the potato curls between the tuna logs in individual piles. Brush  
each piece of tuna with the wasabi mixture, coating each side of the tuna  
completely. Place a piece of the tuna in the center of each pile of potato  
curls. Wrap the potatoes entirely over each piece of tuna, tightly. In a  
large saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, pan−fry the tuna  
until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Fry the tuna in  
batches. Serve the tuna on a platter with a drizzle of sesame oil, chervil  
and a dollop of caviar. This recipe yields 6 servings.
