In stark contrast to the upward pressure seen in the fresh segment, frozen bluefin tuna values at Toyosu showed no major structural adjustments.

Products caught by the Japanese longline fleet in Irish waters defended their premium levels, trading between 4,300 and 4,500 yen (US$ 27.74 and US$ 29.03) per kg (net of taxes), mirroring the prior week's performance. Mid-range categories edged up slightly to 3,340 - 3,440 yen (US$ 21.55 - US$ 22.19), while the lower end adjusted between 2,700 and 3,000 yen (US$ 17.42 and US$ 19.35).

In the Banks fishing grounds located off Massachusetts, USA—encompassing areas such as Georges Bank, Sable Island Bank, St. Pierre Bank, and the Grand Banks—the volume of supply remained consistent, with daily entries ranging between 2 and 6 fish, closely tracking previous performances.

For the fourth consecutive week, official records showed zero new entries of frozen bluefin tuna from the Pacific region. Regarding frozen lains sourced from the Mediterranean, particularly from Spain, a minor downward correction was noted. High-end loins dropped from the previous 4,400 - 4,500 yen per kg down to a band of 4,200 - 4,400 yen (US$ 27.10 - US$ 28.39), a trend that also affected mid-tier products and reflects a softer demand for premium formats, while standard sizes experienced almost no changes.

Price stability characterizes frozen southern bluefin tuna

The availability of frozen southern bluefin tuna, an essential commercial asset valued for its fat content, experienced no structural disruptions. Toyosu facilities recorded daily inflows of 112 to 120 large specimens processed in a gilled and gutted (GG) format exceeding 40 kg, keeping volumes completely identical to the prior period.

For raw material harvested by Japanese longliners off Cape Town, South Africa, and southwest Australia, peak prices settled at 3,500 - 3,800 yen (US$ 22.58 - US$ 24.52) per kg (excluding taxes), showing a slight contraction. In contrast, intermediate values stabilized at 2,080 - 2,090 yen (US$ 13.42 - US$ 13.48), while the lower floor remained unchanged at 1,200 yen (US$ 7.74).

Overall, this segment operated with minimal volatility, restricted to minor adjustments at the highest price points while maintaining firm stability across mid and low tiers.

Frozen bigeye tuna defends its high valuation

The average auction value for large frozen bigeye金枪鱼 (specimens of 40 kg or more) at the Tokyo market proaveraged 1,608 yen (US$ 10.37) per kg this cycle (including consumption tax), representing a minor 5% slip against the prior week, but staying within the highest levels observed in recent years.

This resource, which serves as a core component of the sashimi distribution chain in Japan, continues to post historically high valuations at its lower tier for lean meat (akami).

By harvesting zone, high-end values in the Eastern Pacific climbed into a band of 2,200 to 2,500 yen (US$ 14.19 to US$ 16.13) per kg. Meanwhile, Atlantic production moved within stable parameters, with ceilings hovering around 1,700 - 1,800 yen (US$ 10.97 - US$ 11.61), whereas premium values from the Indian Ocean stretched into a range of 1,600 to 2,500 yen (US$ 10.32 to US$ 16.13), leaving mid and lower tiers flat.

As the seasonal closure of purse seine nets in the Sea of Japan becomes fully realized, domestic wild bluefin supply will contract progressively, creating more market space for imports from the Southern Hemisphere, which will continue to alter the supply architecture of this premium market.

冷凍本マグロ相場は概ね横ばいで推移

先高感が強い生鮮市場とは対照的に、豊洲市場における冷凍本マグロの商いは落ち着いた値動きとなりました。アイルランド沖で国内延縄船がキャッチした冷凍本マグロは、キログラム当たり4,300円〜4,500円(US$ 27.74〜US$ 29.03)(税抜き)の最高値を維持し、前週比横ばい。中値は3,340円〜3,440円(US$ 21.55〜US$ 22.19)と小幅に保ち合い、安値は2,700円〜3,000円(US$ 17.42〜US$ 19.35)の間で取引されました。

米国マサチューセッツ州沖のジョージズバンクセーブルアイランドバンクサンピエールバンクグランドバンクスといった東海岸一帯の漁場からの搬入は安定しており、日当たり2〜6本のペースで入荷が続き、前週の供給水準を維持しました。

一方、大平洋海域からの冷凍物の新規搬入は4週連続で途絶えています。また、地中海およびスペインを主産地とする冷凍本マグロ・ロイン(芯)の相場は、実需の鈍さを反映してわずかに軟化しました。上物ロインは前週のキログラム当たり4,400〜4,500円から4,200〜4,400円(US$ 27.10〜US$ 28.39)へと値を下げ、中物もこれに引きずられる展開となりました。定番サイズの上物価格には大きな動きはみられませんでした。

冷凍ミナミマグロの価格は据え置き

脂ののりの良さから定番商材として根強い需要がある冷凍ミナミマグロの供給は、今週も過不足のない状況でした。豊洲市場には日々112〜120本規模で40kg以上の大型GG(エラ・内臓除去)が出荷され、前週並みのボリュームを維持しました。

南アフリカ・ケープタウン沖やオーストラリア南西沖で日本のパランガーが漁獲した冷凍物について、高値はキログラム当たり3,500〜3,800円(US$ 22.58〜US$ 24.52)(税抜き)とわずかに修正されたものの、中値は2,080〜2,090円(US$ 13.42〜US$ 13.48)の据え置き、安値も1,200円(US$ 7.74)で変わらず、全体として非常に狭い値幅での展開となりました。

冷凍メバチマグロは高値圏を維持

今週の豊洲市場における冷凍メバチマグロ(40kg上)の平均競り価格は、前週比で5%の微減となったものの、キログラム当たり1,608円(US$ 10.37)(消費税込み)を記録。ここ数年来の高値水準をしっかりとキープしています。

国内の刺身流通において大衆的な定番である赤身の価格は、下値圏に強い引き合いがあり、歴史的な高値張り付き状態が続いています。

産地別では、東太平洋物の高値がキログラム当たり2,200〜2,500円(US$ 14.19〜US$ 16.13)にジリ高。大西洋物は最高値1,700〜1,800円(US$ 10.97〜US$ 11.61)前後で安定、インド洋物は上値が1,600〜2,500円(US$ 10.32〜US$ 16.13)へとレンジを広げた一方、中・低物については前週の価格構成をほぼ引き継いでいます。

日本海における巻き網の操業終了に伴い、今後は国内産天然生鮮物の供給が一段と細ることが予想される一方、南半球からの生鮮ミナミマグロの入荷はピークを迎えます。日本国内における高級マグロの需給バランスは、今後数週間にわたり構造的な変化を続ける見通しです。

冻品蓝鳍金枪鱼板块表现为高位保值持稳

相比于近期冰鲜现货市场上那股按捺不住的看涨风潮,东京丰洲市场内的超低温冷冻蓝鳍金枪鱼交易则显得颇为沉稳。由日本籍远洋延绳钓渔船在远东爱尔兰极冷海域捕获的冷冻蓝鳍金枪鱼,本周继续死守其高端价值防线,成交价牢牢钉在每公斤4,300至4,500日元(US$ 27.74至US$ 29.03)(该报价为不含任何附加税费的净价),与上一轮行情完全平盘。中端规格的货源价格录得小幅微调,报收3,340至3,440日元(US$ 21.55至US$ 22.19)。而低端底部的成交档次则微调至每公斤2,700至3,000日元(US$ 17.42至US$ 19.35)

在美国马萨诸塞州外海的班克斯Banks)老牌大渔场——这其中包括了声名远扬的乔治巴恩克塞布尔岛沙洲圣皮埃尔沙洲以及纽芬兰大浅滩等核心作业带,冷冻蓝鳍金枪鱼的整体回国供给结构表现得相当匀速。每日基本能确保有2至6条大鱼准时入仓上架,在运力与货源补充上与上周保持了极高的一致性。

令人关注的是,来自大平洋主要海域的冷冻蓝鳍大鱼,目前已连续第四周录得零到货的历史性中断纪录。而在超低温冷冻金枪鱼柳(Loin)方面,以地中海由于西班牙为主力控盘的货源价格则出现了轻微的走软迹象。高规格超肥鱼柳的成交身价从上周的每公斤4,400 - 4,500日元高位直接滑落至每公斤4,200 - 4,400日元(US$ 27.10 - US$ 28.39)的区间,中端档次的报价同样表现出一定的疲态,这直接从侧面反映出目前市场对高端重油格式鱼柳的终端吸纳能力有所放缓,相比之下,普通通货规格的行情则没有太大的利益变动。

冷冻南方蓝鳍金枪鱼走势呈现一字平盘

作为各大刺身连锁店必不可缺的高油脂中坚主力,冷冻南方蓝鳍金枪鱼本周在货源组织上未见任何波折。丰洲的几大冷库每日基本能够稳定开出112至120条的大单,上场鱼体均属于重量在40公斤以上、经过严格去鳃去内脏(GG标准)的高规格大鱼,整体吨位与上个周期完全吻合。

针对日本远洋延绳钓渔船在南非开普敦外海以及澳大利亚西南大洋捕捞回国的这批冻品,全场高端成交价收在每公斤3,500 - 3,800日元(US$ 22.58 - US$ 24.52)(税前净价),较上周的高点有极微幅度的向下修正。但与之相对应的是,中端主力价格依然稳稳咬在2,080 - 2,090日元(US$ 13.42 - US$ 13.48)的铁底上,而最底层的低端通货价格同样在1,200日元(US$ 7.74)的价位上稳如磐石。

从大盘全局来看,该细分冻品板块目前处于极窄幅度的箱体震荡中,除顶尖品相有微弱的价格让利外,中低端大宗货源均表现出极强的横盘控盘能力。

冻大眼金枪鱼坚守历史性高价水位

本结算周期内,东京丰洲市场对大规格冷冻大眼金枪鱼(单体在40公斤及以上)给出的全场平均竞拍价最终定格在每公斤1,608日元(US$ 10.37)(该结算价已包含全额消费税)。尽管这一数字与上周的火爆行情相比出现了5%的微幅回落,但如果放在近几年的通胀大周期来看,这依然是一个处于历史绝对高位的高频报价。

作为日本寻常百姓刺身消费中不可动摇的超级基石,大眼金枪鱼赤身(瘦肉:akami)的交易行情在低端刚需市场展现出了恐怖的抗跌性,其底部价格在历史性高位上表现出了极强的长线粘性。

若将镜头切向各大底层产区,东太平洋产货的高端成交价本周再度发力,直接挺进每公斤2,200 - 2,500日元(US$ 14.19 - US$ 16.13)的全新高度。大西洋产区的货源价格走势则相对中规中矩,其高端品质基本在1,700 - 1,800日元(US$ 10.97 - US$ 11.61)之间平稳消化。相较之下,印度洋产区的高端开价区间则被拉得很宽,报收在每公斤1,600至2,500日元(US$ 10.32至US$ 16.13),而这两大产区的中低端大众通货价格则几乎是完全复刻了上周的收盘原票,未见任何松动。

随着日本海野生围网捕捞季的全面停摆,日本国内产现鲜蓝鳍金枪鱼的实物供给在未来数周内势必会进一步呈现阶梯式递减,这无疑将为正在密集入境的南半球冰鲜南方蓝鳍金枪鱼腾出巨大的市场空间。在接下来的时间内,日本高端金枪鱼整体的供应链利益架构,将不可避免地迎来更深层次的重组与重塑。
