Well if anyone had the details, it wouldn't be exclusive, would it... Yasuda works with various suppliers. Also, lots of sushiya have fish flown from Japan. So I'm sure Kuruma's tuna is from his source in Japan, secret or exclusive or not.... ← If anyone here is eating at Kuruma anytime soon, if you could ask where the tuna came from (geographically) it would be interesting to find out, as I didn't think the best bluefin was coming from Japanese waters. The best stuff seems to be coming from Spain as of late. I know there had been efforts to farm bluefin in Japan so an exclusive Japanese fishery could be the explanation, but then again, it's not very likely a place like Kuruma would opt for farmed over wild when it comes to bluefin for toro.

Anybody have the details on this exclusive source? Which supplier is bringing in this tuna for Kuruma and not selling to anyone else? Nobu Ishida is the supplier for Yasuda (and he sells to Masa as well) and it's pretty hard to believe that anyone else in the tri-state area gets better fish than Ishida-san whether it's tuna or anything else. Even harder to believe that a company bringing in tuna of that quality would not sell it to anyone else. But if it is true, then yes, that would explain the price difference.

Yeah, forget about the show, we just hope you can find a way to stay safe and get back home. This is not how we want you to be playing that game of "what would you want for your last meal on earth". Good luck and stay safe.
