【English】First TUNA
The “New Year's First Auction” at Tokyo Toyosu Market attracts attention to Japanese people every year. Before dawn, the finest catches gathered from across the nation line the market stalls. Amidst an atmosphere of tension and anticipation, the sound of the auction bell heralds the start of the new year.
This year's inaugural auction proved as eventful as ever. Tuna from Oma, Aomori Prefecture, captivated the venue with its exceptionally rare size and quality of fat, with the top lot fetching ¥500 million per fish – a new all-time record. This figure transcends mere commodity value, becoming a symbol – embodying hopes for economic recovery and representing the market's blessing for a prosperous year ahead.
In Japan, the first auction is not merely a transaction but a ceremonial New Year event. For the industry, a high winning bid signifies morale and confidence, and is seen as a barometer for the year's market trends. Even when the winning bid is astonishing, such premium ingredients often find their way onto tables at more accessible prices, allowing more people to share in the auspicious signs of the new spring.
Notably, the consistently high prices achieved by Oma tuna at the New Year auction stem from the fishermen's longstanding commitment to quality and accumulated expertise, making this place name synonymous with “Japanese tuna”.
Not only tuna, but the first sea urchin auction on the same day also set a new record high. As rare ingredients successively broke records, the New Year fervour at Toyosu Market intensified further. This early morning bidding is not merely a transaction; it has become a uniquely Japanese new spring spectacle.
