A 243kg bluefin tuna was sold at Tokyo's Toyosu fish market for a record 510.3 million yen ($3.2m; £2.4m) at the market's first auction of the year. The winning bid came from Kiyomura Corp, a company that operates the popular sushi chain Sushi Zanmai. Kiyoshi Kimura, the company's president, known as the 'Tuna King', has broken his own record for the highest price paid for bluefin tuna at the new year's auction multiple times in the past. The high price paid for the tuna is consistent with the market's tradition of exorbitant prices for the first tuna of the year.

A 535-pound bluefin tuna was sold for a record 510 million yen ($3.2 million) at Tokyo's Toyosu fish market on January 5, 2026. The top bidder was Kiyomura Corp., whose owner, Kiyoshi Kimura, runs the Sushi Zanmai chain. Kimura has won the annual auction multiple times and broke his own previous record set in 2019. The tuna was caught off the coast of Oma in northern Japan, known for producing high-quality tuna. Despite the high price, Kimura stated that the tuna dishes will be sold at their usual price at Sushi Zanmai eateries nationwide. The sale is significant as Pacific bluefin tuna was previously a threatened species due to overfishing and climate change, but conservation efforts have led to a recovery in its stock.

A 243kg bluefin tuna was sold for a record 510 million yen (£2.4m) at Tokyo's Toyosu fish market to Kiyomura Corp, a Japanese sushi restaurant chain owned by Kiyoshi Kimura, known as the 'Tuna King' of Japan.

Kimura stated that he couldn't resist the 'good-looking tuna' and plans to distribute it to his restaurants at the usual price. The sale sets a new record for the annual New Year auction, with the previous record being 334 million yen (£1.6m).

White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller defended President Donald Trump's idea of acquiring Greenland, stating that it should be part of the United States for security reasons. Miller dismissed the idea that Denmark would fight for Greenland, questioning the validity of Denmark's territorial claim. He also downplayed the possibility of military action against Greenland, citing its small population of 30,000 people. Miller's comments were made during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, who pressed him on whether Trump would rule out using military force to acquire Greenland.
