大間崎 一本釣り 本マグロ』 Oma bay Honmaguro

He bought fresh tuna that was caught one by one by fisherman. We call this 一本釣り"Ipponzuri". These tuna would be put down immediately after they are caught. They would be cut on the gills and the tails to drain out the blood. This method is the most important measure to prevent the fish from smelling bad. We call this process 活け締め "Ikejime" and then they are put into ice. After the chef buys it from the market, he ages it to perfection under carefully controlled condition. His tuna has a wonderful degree of maturity as we enjoy it in his restaurant. He takes very good care of the aroma for the fish meat. So when you eat his Sushi, you would taste the sweet aroma of the fish. The tuna priced at the end of this year was 100,000.00 US dollars.

The Tuna was aged 10 days 熟成10日目の一本釣り本マグロ
