The first auction was held in Kanazawa City for the highest quality brand of cold yellowtail "Kirameki", which the fishery cooperative association in Ishikawa Prefecture began certifying from the 1st, with a price of 4 million yen per bottle.
"Kira" is a top-class brand of cold yellowtail caught in Ishikawa Prefecture, with conditions such as
▽ weighing 14 kg or more,
▽ no scratches, and ▽
thorough freshness control
.
At the market of Kanazawa Port in Kanazawa City, certification by the prefecture's fishery cooperative started on the 1st, and one of the fish caught on the morning of the 1st in Nanao City was selected as the first "Kira".
An auction was held next, and the 15.5-kilogram, 94-centimeter-long “Kira” fetched a price of 4 million yen.
Even if the price of Kanburi is relatively high, it is about 150,000 to 200,000 yen, and this time it is about 20 times that price.
The bid was dropped by Dontaku, which operates supermarkets mainly in the Noto region, and will be sold as sashimi and sushi at stores in Kanazawa City and Nanao City on the 3rd.
Sohiro Yamaguchi, president of "Dontaku" said, "I'm relieved that I was able to bid on the first 'Kira'. As a company in the Noto region, I'm glad that Noto will be more focused on this opportunity." .
