Big Tuna means big money. In Tokyo’s most recent tuna auction at Tsukiji Fish Market, Kiyoshi Kimura of the Sushizanmai sushi chain has shelled out ¥333.6 million JPY (approximately $3.1 million USD) for large 613-pound tuna fish. This marks the highest price paid for a single fish at the annual new year’s auction.
Notable Quotes: “The tuna looks so tasty and very fresh, but I think I did too much, I expected it would be between ¥30 million JPY and ¥50 million JPY, or ¥60 million JPY at the highest, but it ended up five times more.” – Kiyoshi Kimura
