The bluefin tuna, weighing 608 pounds, sold for $1.3 million at Tokyo's Toyosu Market, marking it one of the highest prices ever for tuna in sushi history.
Oma tuna, known as the ‘black diamond’ of tuna, is sought after by sushi restaurants due to its unique fat content derived from a rich diet and cold waters.
Masahiro Takeuchi, a 73-year-old fisherman, described the giant tuna as 'as fat as a cow,' highlighting its impressive size and quality.
Onodera Group, winner of the auction for the fifth consecutive year, plans to serve the high-priced tuna at 13 of its restaurants, showcasing its culinary value.
