Fugu: Poisonous Blowfish From Japan

Fugu is a Japanese delicasse that most fear to taste. If you're wondering why I used the word "fear", i's not because of its taste or anything like that. It's just because they're poisonous! Hahaha! Fugu is actually a blowfish that carry poison inside their organs. Licensed chefs however have learned ways to excrete the poison from the fish therefore allowing people to eat it.

While I was in Japan, we ate at this one restaurant that only served Fugu. You could however order it in different variations. We ate it as a sashimi, we had it fried, and we had it in hot pot. In fact, when it was served to us for the hot pot, the fish was so fresh that it was actually still moving when it got to our table! Just look at the vid below!

Yes, I did eat this by the way. Was I fearful for my life? Yes. But hey, I was in Japan! I wasn't about to leave without trying it out! Hehehehe!

Proof That I Ate It....And Survived!!

Anyways, the entire experience was great! Thought I'd share this with you guys since I thought that it was actually pretty cool, and that we didn't really have it here in Manila. I'll be posting some more cool stuff I saw during my visit there, so until then.....

What do you think? Comment
