On April 27, a Japanese sushi chain run by the Tuna King Kiyoshi Kamura just claimed the world's most expensive tuna on record. His sushi's on my outfit paid 510 million, 300,000 yen, about $3,254,000 for A. Massive 243 kilogram bluefin, at Tokyo's Toyosu Market Auction, on January 5. The fish came from waters off A.O. Mori in northern Japan, and Guinness World Records made it official with a certificate handed over at a ceremony in. There's Sukiji flagship on April 20. Kymura carved it up there and shipped pieces to stores nationwide, but they kept sushi prices every day normal, no markup on the record breaker. He's got a habit of these big spurgis, like $3 million for a 612 pounder in 2019, or 1.8 million for another giant in 2020. All from the same yearly first catch auction, Kymura plans to keep sourcing premium tuna for fans far into the future, proving top quality always commands a premium splash.

That's the story for today, entertainment and celebrity news. Today, driven by AI, I'm Kori with the story.
