The first auction of globefish for the 2021-2022 season was held on Sep. 27 at a market in Shimonoseki City. The fish, known as fugu, is often served at high-end restaurants. However, dining-out restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic directly affected the price per kilogram, falling ¥2,000 from the last season’s ¥18,000/kg. Source: Asahi / NHK
