Chapter 184 Betting on Tuna
"If we can get up early tomorrow, I suggest we can go to Tsukiji Market." On the way back, Xiaoya looked at the four big vases excited and exhausted, and smiled: "Explore the legendary tuna auction."
"This one can be there." Ding Xu's eyes lit up, and he looked at the four large vases and said, "Can you do it?"
"If you can't get up, don't go."
"Okay!" Dog Tuanzi quickly straightened his back and promised: "It's okay not to sleep tonight!"
"No need, let's go at five o'clock." Xiaoya said: "Tsukiji has been the most famous fish market in the world for 80 years, known as the kitchen in Tokyo."
"The food is provided to 25 million people every day. I heard that the transaction is more than 15 million US dollars a day. One of the five fish caught in the world every day was traded there."
"I have been there a few times, especially the tuna auction, which is as exciting as a war."
"It's a pity that some of them were moved to Fengzhou, otherwise it would be more lively."
Ding Xu laughed loudly, and I like excitement.
Seeing that Ding Xu agreed to arrange it immediately, there were limited to 200 visits and auctions per day. It is said that even the God of Sushi must participate in it in person, that was tuna!
At worst, I can take a photo and let the chef of the Imperial Hotel handle it and try out what it would be like to have a fish banquet.
Looking forward to it!
Departing at 4 a.m. to prevent accidents, Ding Xu put on the hidden camera in advance. Everyone came to the legendary Tsukiji Market, stood in front of the gate, and said to the camera: "Brothers, guess what time is now?"
"Why is Brother Xu standing here at four o'clock in the morning?"
"Because behind it is Tsukiji Market!"
"It is known as the Tokyo kitchen!"
Looking at the scene where people were coming and going, various refrigerated trucks were coming in and out, Ding Xu waved his hand and said, "Today I will take you to explore the Tsukiji Market and what is the scene of participating in the mysterious tuna auction!"
When I walked into the gate, I was shocked by the noise. There were sushi restaurants and seafood restaurants that opened early on both sides. Countless tourists from all over the world lined up with guides bought at the door. Some of them were moved to Fengzhou. You can imagine how prosperous they were back then.
There were too many people and no one cared about it. Two cameras were shooting in various ways. The four large vases were confused at first, but later they were attracted by all kinds of strange seafood and became excited.
"Let me see what this is called?" Xiaoya took the guide and translated: "Haku Inari Shrine is our temple."
"More than 300 years ago, the sea was just reclaimed for soil, but waves continued to rush through the embankment. One day, the statue of Inari God floated and the temple was built before the waves were calm, so the name "waves" was named "
Ding Xu nodded. The closer it is to the market, the older the buildings, the older the shop signs are. Hall No. 6 and Hall No. 8 are the most popular, and there are long queues at the door.
"The two most famous restaurants are big sushi and the other is Yamato Sushi." Xiaoya introduced: "Many tourists come for them inexplicably."
"There are other popular coffee shops that love to eat, fish dishes, Kato and Takahashi, the ramen-type big brother, the bird vine that sometimes no one sometimes fills, and the vegetarian article that claims to have buried the secret sauce recipe under Tsukiji Honkanji during the World War II air raid and has been passed down to this day..."
"A bit like the internet celebrity check-in shops in our tourist attractions!"
Ding Xu shook his head and saw that there were very few locals. Food is too personal. You like sweet things and I like sour things. Who can tell me it accurately?
With herd mentality, how can we try so many people lined up in front of us?
Even if you come all the way, you must hypnotize yourself to taste delicious even if it is not delicious!
There were too many people and I didn’t go there. I went around and went to a restaurant called Obota and ordered a bowl of special fried shrimp tempura rice.
"That old man is at least seventy, right?" Sakura looked at the busy chef in the kitchen and muttered: "It's so hard."
"This is the so-called craftsman spirit." Xiaoya explained: "The Sushi God is 95 years old this year and isn't he making sushi by himself every day?"
"Are you tired?" Dog Tuanzi also complained: "You can't make money even if you beat me to death."
"It's not a matter of money." Ding Xu smiled and said, "For them, pursuing perfect cooking skills is the highest standard in life. It's a bit like an ancient general who will die on the battlefield even if he dies."
Sakura was also drunk and died on the greasy pot?
It’s disgusting to think about it!
"The highest standard for craftsmen in the island country is called the national treasure level. The three great gods are the sushi god Jiro Ono, the tempura god Saitogi Tetsusai, and the eel rice god Kenjiro Kinmoto."
Looking at the steaming tempura that had just been served on the table, Xiaoya said: "It seems to be fried, but in fact, the ingredients are steamed with dough clothes at high temperatures. The more expert you are, the more you can use the maximum freshness of the ingredients."
Ding Xu nodded, and a large bowl was filled with white, called meanita sauce, and the fried shrimps they ordered were wrapped in semi-coagulated egg liquid, placed on the rice, and finally poured on soy sauce.
The shrimp is not small, and the two ends take up all the space on the rice. Bite the crispy dough dress, the shrimp meat is plump and soft and not dry, and the taste is very good.
The crispy fried rice is fragrant with hot rice, which instantly makes this down-to-earth brunch not greasy at all. Finally, it ends with a simple bowl of miso soup, satisfying!
The auction started at 6 o'clock, with a deposit of 100,000 yen. Ding Xuxiaoya put on a blue vest marked 39, got on an electric car, and entered the market on the market.
Others can only wait outside, but fortunately they were prepared, otherwise they would not be able to take pictures of anything.
"Brothers, please speak softly!"
"Let's participate in the Tsukiji Tuna Auction immediately. Now Brother Asahi uses a hidden camera to record it. Does it feel exciting or not?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Ding Xu leaned closer to the microphone and whispered: "Some friends think that tuna seems to be available in any sushi restaurant in China?"
"Then Brother Xu can only smile!"
"This place once weighed 269 kilograms of black bluefin tuna produced in Omacho, Aomori Prefecture, was sold at 210,000 yen per kilogram by Tokyo Kiyomura Sushi Restaurant, and the entire 56.49 million yen."
"I'll ask if you are afraid?"
"A national treasure-level ingredients of the same level as Matsusaka Wagyu Beef!"
"Today, Brother Xu can't come here for nothing. Is it okay to buy a tuna back?"
"Let the chef of the Imperial Hotel get a whole fish feast to try it out!"
Xiaoya also smiled, because this is only possible for the rich.
Following the crowd into the huge warehouse full of cold air, there were tunas in front of me without heads and tails?
"Delivery to different locations according to fresh food categories every day, and the products are classified according to standards such as weight, freshness, etc., and the corresponding treatment is carried out."
"Each tuna is marked with a label with origin and weight on it. The tail of the fish is cut off to make it easier to judge the quality of the meat."
As the two walked and watched, Xiaoya whispered beside her: "As the most important ingredient in sushi, the quality of meat has a great impact on the success or failure of a sushi restaurant. Good tuna meat should be well-textured, moderately fat and thin, fresh and delicious, with a hint of charming sourness."
