Toyosu March 9 Price Board Shows Fresh Bluefin Entries, Price Signals

FIS/seafood.media’s Toyosu price bulletin for March 9, 2026, published a snapshot the market uses to track daily wholesale flows and signaled fresh bluefin entries and price movement that traders will watch into next week. The bulletin is labeled Tokyo Metropolitan Market (Toyosu) and carries the site’s boilerplate: "The prices are wholesale prices. The products are sold at the wholesale market. These prices are based on information from various fisheries sector companies. FIS is not responsible for the prices given, which are intended as a guideline for our readers."

The excerpts available for review include a Seafood Media page dated February 27, 2026, which displays conversion prompts, "1 US$ = 156.14 ¥ - Convert these prices to US Dollar!" and "1 EUR = 184.19 ¥ - Convert these prices to EURO!" Those conversion lines appear on the February 27 page; no March 9 exchange rates were present in the material supplied, so March 9 conversions remain to be confirmed.

Concrete price detail visible on the Seafood Media table shows SEA URCHIN, Loxechinus albus, origin JAPAN, size WHITE LARGE (300G), supply 44, with Prices in JPY/Tray recorded as Min 9,000.00, Max 38,000.00 and Average 12,000.00; the row also lists Variation (min price) -1,000.00 and Variation percent -10%. The table fragment includes headers Package and Unsold Quantity but those cells are blank in the excerpt supplied.

Tuna entries appear on the bulletin as labeled lines, including the exact label "TUNA BLUEFIN NORTHERN Thunnus thynnus" shown on the Seafood Media snippets. Separately, at the New Year’s tuna auction on January 5, 2026, wholesalers and buyers packed the floor for a high-profile sale of an Oma-caught bluefin that fetched 2.1 million yen per kilogram, quoted as $13,360 per kilogram and $6,060 per pound in the auction coverage. The auction procedure described at that event included the bell starting the sale and tails cut off so bidders could inspect color, texture and fattiness while walking the rows of fish. One bidder, identified as Kimura, said he had hoped to pay less but "the price shot up before you knew it," and added, "It’s in part for good luck," and "But when I see a good looking tuna, I cannot resist … I haven’t sampled it yet, but it’s got to be delicious." A high-bid tuna from that auction was carried to a Sushi Zanmai restaurant.

Toyosu’s visitor infrastructure remains a market-side reality for buyers and chefs working market prices into menus. The Fisheries Intermediate Wholesale Market Building’s third floor is the market’s main restaurant area and draws long lines early; Oedo Sushi is cited as popular with seafood bowls starting at about ¥2,500. The Management Facilities Building’s third floor houses Ryu Sushi, listed at 3rd Floor, Management Facilities Building, 6-6-17 Toyosu, Koto City, Tokyo, telephone 03-6633-0053, with hours 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, closed Sunday and Wednesday, and an omakase set priced at ¥5,500.

The March 9 bulletin snapshot confirms that fresh bluefin entries were recorded on the Toyosu board, but the supplied excerpts do not include the full March 9 product-by-product price and volume tables or the exchange-rate conversions used that day. Market participants and buyers will be seeking the complete FIS/seafood.media March 9 table to verify bluefin volumes, exact JPY price points, and any USD or EUR conversions before updating bids or menu pricing.
