JAKARTA - Japan's sushi restaurant chain Choushimaru Co., last month won a Guinness World Records title for the largest simultaneous tuna fillet show, which was held in 71 locations in Tokyo and its surroundings.

After obtaining a blue-fin tuna weighing about 40 kilograms fromdata Prefecture for the event, chefs at each restaurant began cutting giant fish around 11.30 a.m. on November 1, which was promoted as a "holiday" in Japan.

All locations, which involve outlets in Tokyo Prefecture, Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa, are connected via video conference and following the same format of the show, reported by Kyodo News December 1.

Choushimaru, who operates its banyak restaurant chain, especially in the wider Tokyo area, is proud to have a skilled Mario chef in all of its outlets.

The restaurant chain has revived their tuna cutting show, which was stalled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

When the effort was acknowledged by Guinness World Records, Ken Ishii, who led the company, was filled with joy. He called this achievement the result of "manifolds of departments working together in procurement and cleaning management."

At a restaurant in Tokyo that is open to media, families and other customers watched the show and ordered fresh tuna.

"An impressive show," said a woman in her 70s who visited her husband.

"fat fruit is melting in my mouth and it feels great," he continued.

In Japan, a major tuna consumer country, this fish is a staple food infocus. A few decades ago, a nationaleratesenshop restaurant union set November 1 as a "holiday", as the fall was when the ingredients were in the most delicious condition, with fatty fish and newly harvested rice filling store shelves.
