The tuna:

A 276 kilo Bluefish tuna caught yesterday fetched 207 million yen at an
auction at the Toyosu market, won by the Onodera group.

Upon
hearing that yokozuna Terunofuji rushed to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant
in Omotesando to taste some of it. "It brings good luck.." he said. The
fish was so large the workers couldn't get it into the kitchen, so
Terunofuji took off his hakama and helped them get it in, shouting "yoisho"
as if it was part of the Yokozuna dohyo-iri.. "The maguro was delicious so
that was good. I felt I would be battling in the Hatsu basho," he said.

Oonosato also got to taste some of that tuna. "It was delicious," he said,
smacking his lips and smiling, most probably, "I want to prepare well and
do my best so that I can start the new year in a good way." He plans to
further increase the pace of his preparations from the YDC soken tomorrow.
He has been training doing fundamentals and did some sumo yesterday with
Juryo Shirokuma and Hananoumi so far.
