Taiki Suisan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture; President & CEO: Shinya Saeki) will once again host its 'Live Bluefin Tuna Dissection Show' simultaneously across 48 stores this month, in response to the overwhelming success of the previous four events. The expanded network now includes Taiki Suisan Kaiten Sushi (29 stores), Maguro Park Sakai Honten, Machi no Minato (16 stores), and 2 other group stores.

On the day, skilled artisans will dissect an entire tuna right before your eyes! Freshly cut, never-frozen bluefin tuna will be served immediately as sushi or sashimi.

A Record 48 Tuna in One Day! Total Dissections Surpass 200!

Since its launch in March, the 'Simultaneous Live Bluefin Tuna Dissection Show' has amazed and delighted countless customers—and it’s back with even greater energy! On July 18 (Sat), the 5th edition will see Taiki Suisan leverage its unparalleled procurement strength to simultaneously dissect 48 carefully selected, fresh bluefin tuna across all stores in a single day. To date, the cumulative number of tuna dissected has far surpassed 200! The powerful, skillful performance by artisans using a single knife at each location is truly breathtaking. Experience Taiki Suisan’s unique 'Culinary Entertainment,' delivered at a scale no other can match.

Come witness Taiki Suisan’s pride—its premium tuna.

◎ Feature 1: Unrivaled 'Total Dissection Count' and Greater Access to 'Ultra-Rare Cuts'!

The staggering number of '48 simultaneous dissections in one day' is a scale only Taiki Suisan, a true professional seafood merchant, can achieve. After three consecutive months of sold-out events, the cumulative dissection count has now surpassed 200—making it far more likely to encounter ultra-rare cuts such as 'Kamatoro' (jaw meat), 'Head Meat,' and 'Nakaochi' (scrapings from the backbone), which can only be obtained from a single tuna in very small quantities. This is the perfect opportunity to savor every part of the tuna.

◎ Feature 2: Enjoy the Full Flavor of 'Fresh, Never-Frozen' Tuna On-Site!

The fresh bluefin tuna is delivered directly from the port and has never been frozen, resulting in exceptional firmness and a rich, sweet marbling. The tuna, freshly cut right before your eyes, instantly transforms into sushi or sashimi. Enjoy peak freshness created by the artisan’s masterful technique.

◎ Feature 3: A Live Performance to Enjoy with All Five Senses!

The sight of a massive bluefin tuna being boldly dissected before your eyes is a thrilling show that captivates everyone from children to adults. Feel the energy rise as the artisan’s lively calls unite the entire store—experience this exciting moment with your family and friends.

Savor the true essence of fresh bluefin tuna.
