　東京・豊洲市場（江東区）で５日朝、令和初となる新春の初競りが行われ、青森県大間産のクロマグロ（２７６キロ）に１匹当たり１億９３２０万円と、史上２番目の高値が付いた。
　昨年１匹３億円を上回る超高値が付いて注目された生マグロの競りは、鐘の音を合図に午前５時１０分にスタート。昨年よりも１３匹多い７２匹の国産天然クロマグロが並び、１番人気のマグロは１キロ当たり７０万円。１匹２億円には届かなかったが、昨年に次ぐ高値となった。

　競り落としたのは今年もすしチェーン「すしざんまい」を展開する喜代村。同社の木村清社長は「おいしいマグロをお客さんにいっぱい食べてもらいたい」と満足そうに語った。（2020/01/05-09:20）

A 276-kilogram bluefin tuna caught off Oma, Aomori Prefecture, northeastern Japan, sold for 193.2 million yen in the New Year auction at Tokyo's Toyosu wholesale market on Sunday.
   The price is second only to last year's successful bid of some 330 million yen. Waters off Oma are one of the best tuna fishing grounds in the country.
   The auction, the first since Japan's Imperial era changed from Heisei to Reiwa in May last year, started at 5:10 a.m. (8:10 p.m. Saturday GMT) with a ring of bell.
   Seventy-two wild bluefin tuna from across Japan were put up for auction, up 13 from last year. The most popular fish fetched 700,000 yen per kilogram.
   As in last year's auction, the winning bidder was Kiyomura, which operates the Sushizanmai sushi restaurant chain. "We hope customers will have lots of tasty tuna," Kiyoshi Kimura, president of the company, said.
