There was hatsuseri (初セリ: the first auction of the year) at the Tsukiji (築地) Market in Tokyo. Tsukiji Market is the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market. It is very famous and popular among foreign travelers too.
A whole tuna from Hokkaido (北海道) was knocked down for yen 32,490,000 which was the highest in history. It weighed 342kg. It was about double price of last year's highest price of yen 16,280,000. The highest ever was yen 20,200,000 in 2001.
It was bought by a long standing sushi shop in Ginza (銀座) and Hong Kong's restaurant chain.
