    Japan new year tuna sale sets price record

    Buyers inspect the record-breaking tunaA Tokyo restaurant and a Hong Kong sushi bar bid jointly for the tuna

    Related Stories

    A tuna has sold at auction for a record 32.49m yen in Tokyo, nearly $400,000 (£257,320).

    The fish was a blue fin, a variety prized for making the finest sushi. It was bought by a joint Japanese and Chinese bid.

    The first auction in January at Tokyo's Tsukji fish market is a cherished part of Japan's New Year celebrations, and record prices are often set.

    Japan is the world's biggest consumer of seafood.

    After bells rang at 0500 local time (2000 GMT on Tuesday) to start the sale, bidding was brisk.

    More than 500 fish were laid out on pallets on the concrete floor.

    But the lot that attracted the most interest was a giant 342kg blue fin tuna caught off Japan's northern island of Hokkaido.

    The winning bid was made jointly by the owners of a restaurant in Tokyo's upmarket Ginza district, and a sushi chain in Hong Kong.

    Restrictions on catches have been tightened in recent years because of concerns about overfishing.

    Traders at Tsukiji market say growing Chinese demand for sushi is also helping to push up prices.

    Heavy snow falls in Sea of Japan coastal regions

    TOKYO (Kyodo) -- A strong wintry pressure pattern caused heavy snowfall Thursday on the Sea of Japan side of the country especially in the Hokuriku region of central Japan, the Japan Meteorological Agency said, issuing advisories about traffic disruption and possible avalanches.

    Some areas in Aomori, Niigata and Tottori prefectures observed more than 2 meters of snowfall as of 9 a.m. Thursday, more than 1.5 to 3.3 times the average. Other mountainous regions in eastern and central Japan recorded more than 50 centimeters of snow in the 24 hours through Thursday morning.

    Snowfall of up to 50 cm is expected in northern Japan and the Hokuriku region in the 24 hours through Friday morning, and up to 20 to 30 cm in eastern, central and western Japan, according to the agency.

    The wintery pressure pattern will gradually taper off from the western side but low temperatures below average are expected across a wide area of eastern and western Japan in the latter half of the month, the agency said.
