We were grocery shopping when we heard the announcement that there was going to be a maguro cutting exhibition. It was a worthwhile 15 minute wait. There was a small crowd and we were at the front to watch the show which lasted for about 20 minutes with the expert explaining the significance of the  bluefin tuna. He told the crowd that the fish was about 65 kg and was from Nagasaki.
After dissecting the fish, we were treated to sample pieces of the maguro sashimi. It was delectable and fresh.
