A Beautiful Young Fishmonger Carves a Giant Tuna with Her Slender Arms

🔪 A Beautiful Young Fishmonger Takes On a Giant Tuna In Mashiki, Kumamoto Prefecture — just near Kumamoto Airport — there is a fish shop that has been loved for about 70 years, Mori Foods. This time, I followed Akiyo, the third-generation fishmonger, as she took on her very first live giant tuna carving. Inspired by JKT's video of Tsukiji's "Tuna Princess," she reached out to her directly, stayed by her side, and learned the craft with her own hands at the market. Now, on Children's Day, she steps up to a giant tuna from Amakusa — with her slender arms and a freshly sharpened blade. Nervous but determined, she carves through the enormous fish stroke by stroke, delicate yet bold, as a crowd of children cheers her on. This is the heartfelt story of a young woman carrying on her family's fish shop, and her wish to show everyone just how fun the world of fish shops can be. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 📍 Shop Information 📺 YouTube ｜ 3代目おさかなやさん @sandaimeosakanayasan https://youtube.com/@sandaimeosakanayasan 📸 Instagram ｜ @mori_foods.marusei https://www.instagram.com/mori_foods.marusei/ 🗺 Google Maps 森フーズ株式会社（熊本県上益城郡益城町大字杉堂938-18） https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=森フーズ株式会社+熊本県上益城郡益城町大字杉堂938-18 ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 A young fishmonger takes on a giant tuna 02:23 Inspired by Tsukiji's Tuna Princess 04:14 Family and staff cheer her on 06:12 A giant tuna arrives from Amakusa 06:42 The carving show begins 08:31 Breaking down the giant tuna 11:38 To the counter — a race against time 14:19 After the show & her father's words ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 🎬 About Japanese Kitchen Tour Welcome to Japanese Kitchen Tour – The channel that brings you inside the kitchens of Japan, where dedicated chefs craft authentic Japanese cuisine with incredible skill and heart.
