Maguro (Tuna) Sushi is best eaten in Japan, of course, and no place is fresher than Tsukiji Market ー but wait! The tuna auction has moved to Toyosu 3km / 1.8mi down the road and Tsukiji market is closed, right? Not exactly. Tsukiji’s inner market (where the main fish market was located) is gone but the outer market is open where some of the best sushi shops in Tokyo still exist! One of them is Sushi Zanmai, my favorite chain shop where price meets quality for an excellent everyday sushi fix. Joining me to rate the maguro sushi is Mikey Chen from Strictly Dumpling who is having sushi for the first time. Before trying it at the high end places, it's best to try it here.
Japan sushi tycoon pays record tuna price
A Japanese sushi boss has paid a record $3.1m (£2.5m) for a giant tuna at the first new year's auction in Tokyo's new fish market.
Self-styled "Tuna King" Kiyoshi Kimura bought the 278kg (612lbs) bluefin tuna, which is an endangered species.
He spent more than twice the previous record of $1.4m, which he paid in 2013.
Wholesalers and sushi company owners often pay high prices for the best fish at the first pre-dawn auction of the new year.
"I bought a good tuna," Mr Kimura told AFP after the auction.
