Toyo Reizo tests fresh Moroccan bluefin tuna transported by air in Japan

JAPAN
Friday, August 14, 2026, 01:00 (GMT + 9)

The experimental import aims to evaluate whether fresh farmed Mediterranean bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) can generate sufficient commercial value to open a premium segment over the traditional frozen market. Japanese company Toyo Reizo has experimentally introduced a batch of fresh farmed bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) from Morocco into the Sendai wholesale market, transported by air and marketed fresh. The operation was carried out on August 12, 2026, and constitutes a logistical test to assess whether Moroccan bluefin tuna can expand its presence in Japan beyond the usual frozen flow. The marine product, originating from the Mediterranean, arrived at the Sendai market in "dress" format —headed and gutted— reaching a weight of approximately 190 kg. FULL STORY
