At the time, I thought that eating blow fish (fugu) was a dangerous and deadly poisonous endeavor. So, as a sensible gal in her twenties, I said why not try it? Needless to say, my experience was unexpected. Some people told me that the chef tries it before serving it to you as a test. Hmm.

Look at the blowfish in the front of this blowfish restaurant in Japan. Just minding their own business

I survived. And it wasn’t too bad.

It came in sushi form:

Carpaccio form:

Soup form (pictured without the fish in it):

The seating area was very fun and private!

Tastes just like fish! It also came in FRIED form which is oh so delicious as well!

How did we find this place? We asked the hotel concierge for their local favorite for blowfish and it turned out to be pretty good and not too outrageously overpriced. Now, to figure out how to find this place again…
