I'm starting to get really really excited At this time you can see all of the vendors, they're setting up, there is a fresh catch of the day as in and Every sushi chef in Tokyo has their own vendor that they go back to over and over again, and so chef knows exactly where we're going oh wow Before we do anything though proper footwear is a must Oh and a cap Okay, oh yeah, I'm fully totally ready for the fish market so nice outfit. Yeah This is seriously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not only are we at an? exclusive area for buyers only at Tsukiji market That is in the fest and the boots And by the way Iggy fish market is the this is the biggest fish seafood market in the entire world, it's gigantic All of a sudden we're entering into the Arctic chill room. Oh, this is the tuna room? Oh, this is where the auction is happening This is by far the most Gigantic tuna I have ever seen in my entire life oh It's massive If you ever eat the best sushi the best quality tuna it all passes through this market and this auction We got bleacher seats I think that Bell signifies the start of the auction So amazingly organized, but it just sounds it's actually quite soothing to listen to them He actually like sings a song it's so methodical iterally Just go fish after fish we spending a few seconds bird fish and just go down the line auctioning off all of the tuna I Guess so really quickly just to explain the tuna are auctioned and there are buyers So they buy the tuna and then they bring it back to the fish market Where they cut it and where they distribute it and sell it and then sushi chefs They they go they have their own vendor that they I'm sure they go to they're loyal to their vendor and So the best sushi chefs have their own vendor who is one of the best buyers because they buy the best quality of tuna And so that's just that's just a really really quick brief overview of a little bit of how the system works Unfortunately, I had to give up the hat and the vest, but we are back at the tuna king All right, and this is also known as the tuna king women king they buy the best units in the world These are the highest quality tuna in the entire world and This is the part I'm really looking forward to actually is when they're gonna start cutting the tuna and the tuna are straight from the auction I'm just overwhelmed right now.
