Hugh Jackman was in Japan this week to promote the upcoming theatrical release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine*. As part of his promotional activities, he went on NTV’s “Sukkiri” morning news show and visited Tsukiji with Mari Sekine:

In the segment, Hugh is taken to a tamagoyaki store owned and operated by TV producer Terry Ito’s brother. The day after they filmed there, Hugh and his family had some free private time to explore Tokyo. Apparently Hugh loved the tamagoyaki so much that he brought his wife and kids back to Tsukiji and visited the store so they could try the food prepared by his new friend!

Note: 52,500 yen = 160KD!!!
