The secret blowfish auction -- trading for deadly but tasty fugu 【Video】 soranews24.com

Get a glimpse of how one of Japan’s delicacies, the poisonous fugu fish, is traded at auction!
The traditional auction method is called “bag auction (fukuro seri)” and involves the auctioneer hiding his hand in a bag while exchanging bidding information with buyers through hand signals.
Haedomari is the largest fugu market in Japan and is apparently the only market that currently uses this bag auction method.
Either way, the auction is an interesting sight, and something that we don’t have the chance to see everyday.
We hope you enjoyed the brief look into Japan’s premier blowfish market!
