In the week ending June 14, 2026, compared with the previous week, fresh wild yellowtail showed a sharp week-on-week decline at Toyosu, with the adult and medium category — buri and warasa in Japanese — falling from JPY 764/kg to JPY 513/kg (-32.9%) as weekly volume rose from 328,088 kg to 403,063 kg (+22.9%). This category should be distinguished from farmed yellowtail, usually listed as hamachi, which is often sold under longer-term fixed pricing.

The six-month chart is consistent with wild yellowtail’s two-stage migration pattern: northward feeding and growth in spring/summer, followed by a southward return in late autumn and winter, when larger, fattier kanburi command premium prices. The spring/summer market can include more medium-sized warasa.
