Lucky / ラッキー

This is Otoro - fatty tuna - one of the most expensive pieces of the tuna. Do you want to see the regular price?

大トロです。値段気になります?



Yes, that would be 8600yen or about $80USD. And yes we bought it. But not for this price. Just as we were passing the stall, they reduced the price to 1000yen ($10USD). Of course we had to buy it. The stall said it was closed the following day and if they didn't sell the rest of today's stock, they would just have to throw it away.

8600円だべ。買ったよ。でもこの値段で買ったわけないよ。ちょうど通り過ぎる時に、店の人は今から全部1000円で叫んでた。最初誰も信じなかったが、店の人が明日は休みなので、今日の分売れないとそのまま捨てると言ってたらだんだん客が集まった。私たちも8600円の大トロを1000円でゲット!
