Sushi Zanmai, a casual sushi chain, purchased Japan's most expensive tuna for $3.33 million at auction. For a limited time, you can taste this record-breaking fish at their restaurants for the regular tuna price!
Tokyo's Toyosu fish market's opening day auction saw a record-breaking tuna sell for 510.3 million yen (US$3.33 million). Sushi Zanmai, a popular and affordable sushi chain, won the bid and is offering slices of this 'ichiban maguro' (number-one tuna) at regular prices.
Travelers can now experience this exceptional tuna at Sushi Zanmai locations, like the Shinjuku Higashiguchi branch. A single piece of sushi made with the ichiban maguro is available for the standard tuna price of 398 yen, allowing more people to taste this delicacy.
The taste is described as exceptionally fresh, with a clean and pure flavor that even sushi novices can appreciate. Comparing it to regular tuna, the ichiban maguro boasts a tighter texture and a distinct, refined taste, making it a must-try for sushi enthusiasts visiting Tokyo.
