On April 20, a certification ceremony was held for Kiyomura, the operator of sushi chain Sushi Zanmai, which won the bid for the fish.
The tuna was purchased during the market’s annual ‘first auction,’ a closely watched event that often draws national attention as an indicator of sentiment in the seafood trade. The record-setting sale once again highlighted the strong publicity value attached to the New Year auction.
