Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 185 Betting on Tuna
"If we can get up early tomorrow, I suggest that we go to Tsukiji Market." On the way back, Xiaoya looked at the excited and exhausted four big vases, and said with a smile, "Explore the legendary tuna auction."

"You can have this." Ding Xu's eyes lit up, he looked at the four vases and said, "Can you do it?"

"If you can't get up, don't go."

"Okay!" Gou Tuanzi quickly straightened his back and promised, "You don't need to sleep tonight!"

"That's not necessary, we can just leave at five o'clock." Xiaoya said: "Tsukiji has been the most famous fish market in the world for 80 years and is known as the kitchen of Tokyo."

"It provides food for 2500 million people every day. It is said that the daily turnover exceeds 1500 million US dollars. One out of five fish caught in the world is traded there every day."

"I've been there a few times, and it's very lively, especially the tuna auction, which is as exciting as fighting a war."

"It's a pity that some of them were moved to Toyosu, otherwise it would be more lively."

Ding Xu laughed out loud, brother likes excitement.

Seeing that Ding Xu agreed to arrange it right away, the number of visitors to the auction is limited to [-] per day. It is said that even the god of sushi has to participate in person, that is tuna!
At worst, take a photo and let the chef of the Imperial Hotel handle it, and taste what it feels like to have a whole fish feast.

Really been waiting!

Depart at four o'clock in the morning to prevent accidents. Ding Xu put on a hidden camera in advance, and everyone came to the legendary Tsukiji Market in a mighty manner. Standing in front of the gate, he faced the camera and said, "Brothers, guess what time it is?"

"Why is brother Xu standing here at four o'clock in the morning?"

"Because the Tsukiji Market is behind it!"

"Known as the big kitchen in Tokyo!"

Seeing the scene of people coming and going, all kinds of refrigerated trucks coming in and out, Ding Xu waved his hand and said, "Today, I will take you to explore Tsukiji Market and participate in the mysterious tuna auction."

Walking into the gate, I was shocked by the noise. Both sides are full of sushi restaurants and seafood restaurants that opened early. Countless tourists from all over the world lined up with guidebooks bought at the gate. Some of them were moved to Toyosu. bustling.

There were so many people and no one cared about it, the two cameras took various shots, and the four vases were confused at first, but later they were attracted by all kinds of strange seafood and began to get excited.

"Let me see what this is called?" Xiaoya took the guide and translated, "Namichu Inari Shrine is our temple."

"More than 300 years ago, the sea was just reclaimed as soil, but the waves continued to break through the embankment. One day, the statue of Inari was floated and the temple was erected before the waves calmed down. Therefore, it has the name Namitsu."

Ding Xu nodded. The closer the place is to the inner market, the older the buildings are, and the older the shop signs are.Halls No. [-] and No. [-] are the most popular, and there are long queues at the door.

"The two most famous restaurants are Sushi Dai and the other Yamato Sushi." Xiaoya introduced, "Many tourists come here for no reason."

"Others include the popular coffee shop Aiyang, the fish dishes Kato and Takahashi, the big brother Yajiman of ramen, the bird Fuji that is sometimes empty and sometimes full, and the so-called secret sauce recipe buried under the Tsukiji Hongan Temple during the World War II air raid. The Sushi text so far..."

"It's a bit like an online celebrity check-in shop in our tourist attractions!"

Ding Xu shook his head and looked at the crowd. There are very few locals in the crowd. Food is too personal. You like sweet and I like sour. Who can say for sure?

Coupled with the herd mentality, why not try with so many people queuing in front?
Even if it’s not delicious after traveling all the way, you must hypnotize yourself that it’s delicious!

There were too many people to go, so I walked around to a restaurant called Xiao Baotian, and ordered a bowl of special fried shrimp tempura rice bowl.

"Is that old man in his 70s at least?" Sakura looked at the busy chef in the back kitchen, and muttered, "It's too hard."

"This is the so-called craftsmanship." Xiaoya explained: "The god of sushi is 95 years old this year, and doesn't he make sushi by himself every day?"

"Are you tired?" Gou Tuanzi also complained: "I won't make all the money even if I die."

"It's not about the money." Ding Xu said with a smile: "For them, the pursuit of perfection in cooking is the highest standard in life, a bit like the ancient generals, even if they die, they will die on the battlefield."

Sakura was also drunk and died on the greasy pot?

It's disgusting to think about!
"The highest standard of craftsmen in the island country is the national treasure level. The three gods are the god of sushi Jiro Ono, the god of tempura Saotome Tetsusai, and the god of eel rice Kanejiro Kanemoto."

Looking at the steaming tempura just on the table, Xiaoya said: "It looks like it is deep-fried, but it is actually wrapped in batter and steamed at high temperature. The more skilled you are, the more fresh the ingredients can be brought out."

Ding Xu nodded, and there was a big bowl full in front of him. The white one was called mayonnaise sauce. The set meal of fried shrimp was wrapped in semi-solidified egg liquid, placed on the rice, and finally poured with soy sauce.

The size of the shrimp is not small, and the two shrimps take up all the space on the rice.When you bite into the crispy batter, the shrimp meat is plump, soft and not dry, and tastes great.

The crispy aroma of fried food paired with hot rice instantly makes this down-to-earth brunch not greasy at all. Finally, it ends with a bowl of simple miso soup, which is satisfying!

The auction starts at 39:[-], with a deposit of [-] yen, Ding Xu Xiaoya puts on a blue vest numbered [-], gets on a battery car, and enters the inner market.

The others could only wait outside. Fortunately, they had been prepared, otherwise they would not be able to take pictures.

"Brothers, keep your voice down!"

"Let's take part in the Tsukiji tuna auction right now. Brother Xu is recording with a hidden camera. Does it feel exciting?"

Seeing no one around, Ding Xu approached the microphone and said in a low voice: "Some friends think that tuna is available in any sushi restaurant in China?"

"Brother Xu can only smile!"

"A 269-kilogram black bluefin tuna from Oma Town, Aomori Prefecture, was bought by a sushi restaurant in Kiyo Village, Tokyo, at a price of 21 yen per kilogram, or 5649 million yen for the whole fish."

"For 4603 million yuan, I ask you if you are afraid?"

"National treasure ingredients on the same level as Matsusaka Wagyu!"

"Brother Xu can't come here for nothing today, and buy a tuna to go back, okay?"

"Let the chef of the Imperial Hotel make a whole fish feast to try!"

Xiaoya also laughed, this is something that only a local tyrant can do.

Follow the crowd into the huge cold warehouse, and the ground in front of you is full of tuna without heads and tails?

"Sent to different places according to the fresh category every day, sorted the products according to the weight, freshness and other standards, and carried out corresponding processing."

"Each tuna is marked with a number, and the place of origin and weight are affixed to the body. The tail part 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 him: "As the most important sushi ingredient, the quality of the meat greatly affects the success or failure of a sushi restaurant. Good tuna meat should have clear texture, moderate fat and thin, and delicious taste. Delicious, with a lovely hint of sourness.”

Ding Xu squatted down and looked at the beheaded tuna in front of him, as if he was gambling with stones?
