Tasting the $100,000 tuna

Post by Maka »

Hello UYDers,

Here's a fun piece on tuna: "What does the world's most expensive sushi taste like? Smooth, succulent and a little on the light side."

". . . the Japanese passion for eating first foods of the season and of the year, which they believe are "auspicious," bringing good luck."

Wow. All of the really, really expensive food seems to come from Japan. I used to be shocked by how much Kobe Beef costs, but that's nothing compared to this tuna.
