Here at Itamae Sushi in Tokyo, we hold a live tuna-cutting show where our Itamae chef wildly carve an over-100kg big tuna fish into the freshest sushi. Witnessing a giant tuna getting sliced into pieces has become one of the most popular tourist attractions.
The first auction of the year is called “Hatsu-seri.” We’ve bought the first tuna of the year at the highest price from 2008 through 2011, and it made the news around the globe, even featured in the Wall Street Journal and other renowned media sites. In 2011, we bought a 342kg tuna for 32.4 million yen(US$323,385). In 2012 we visited one of the disaster areas affected by earthquakes and tsunami occurred in March 2011, and served free sushi to the 1,300 survivors. Seeing the smile on their faces assured us that the food connects people in a special way.
