일본 올해 첫 참치 19억4천만원에 낙찰

Over in Tokyo
In the early hours of Sunday, at Toyosu Market's first tuna auction of the year, a 276-kilogram bluefin tuna fetched 207 million yen, approximately 1.3 million U.S. dollars.
This winning bid marks the second-highest price recorded since auction records began in 1999 and is nearly double last year’s top bid of 114.2 million yen. The all-time highest price was set in 2019 at 333.6 million yen or about 2.1 million dollars.
A representative of the company with the winning bid said that tuna is a symbol of good fortune and he participated in the auction with the hope of bringing smiles to everyone through food.
