That's $73,000 more than last year's tuna.

Oma’s bluefin tuna, nicknamed “black diamonds” on account of their high value, are routinely snapped up by the country’s top chefs. For several years, Kiyoshi Kimura, the president of the Japanese sushi chain Sushi Zanmai, has ruled over the first tuna auction of the new year. This year, however, Hiroshi Onodera, owner of the luxe Sushi Ginza Onodera chain, has taken home the prized bluefin.

The number of tuna continues to drop as the global demand for the delicacy grows.
