Tokyo: The Pufferfish (Fugu) Experience

We chose a nice small restaurant in Asakusa, Taito (Sankaku, 三角) to enjoy a near-death-experience while being potentially poisoned:

Nice traditional restaurant with many local guests

We had Fugu sashimi as a starter, eaten raw. Not exciting at all, but interesting taste.

And Fugu again as the main dish, prepared as shabu-shabu, see video below. Very interesting how different it tastes when it's cooked.

Still alive and kicking.
