Lotsa news -the tuna
Moti Dichne
A 276 kilo Bluefish tuna caught yesterday fetched 207 million yen at an auction at the Toyosu market, won by the Onodera group. Upon hearing that yokozuna Terunofuji rushed to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Omotesando to taste some of it. "It brings good luck.." he said. The fish was so large the workers couldn't get it into the kitchen, so Terunofuji took off his hakama and helped them get it in, shouting "yoisho" as if it was part of the Yokozuna dohyo-iri.. "The maguro was delicious so that was good. I felt I would be battling in the Hatsu basho," he said.
Oonosato also got to taste some of that tuna. "It was delicious," he said, smacking his lips and smiling, most probably, "I want to prepare well and do my best so that I can start the new year in a good way." He plans to further increase the pace of his preparations from the YDC soken tomorrow. He has been training doing fundamentals and did some sumo yesterday with Juryo Shirokuma and Hananoumi so far.
