![]() and also crispy fried skin with cayenne pepper, which was the perfect in between snack! The Sperm sac in tempura….hahaha nice, creamy like fish sperm…. Not ordered but shared by my Japanese elderly best friend….Deep fried blowfish, which was the biggest let-down after the rising line of quality… This could have been chicken as well for me….I literally sucked every piece of the bone, because this was one of the best tasting fish I ever had! Charcoal grilled pieces of ultra fresh blowfish, so fresh it still moved on my plate….pffff see the video on my instagram account: worlds_best_food_blog This was prepared at my table in a marinade of ginger, soy and garlic and then to be grilled over a table fire.Lightly boiled blowfish, this was totally different, the quick boiling gives it a totally different structure and made all flavours pop out, very pure and lovely tasting.Raw blowfish (Fugu sashimi) Which was very boring to be honest… a very tough and even chewy type of fish which in my opinion only was good because of the soy sauce….not too bad, just a bit tipsy to get into the mood, ordered a second because it was perfect in harmony with the menu….(that was the only reason) What a taste and what a lovely kind of drunk you get out of that…. Have to start with the Hire-Sake, which is warm/hot Sake with the Blowfish fin in it, damn this warms you up.So sorry for his wife, but he really made my night so much fun! he spent all night chatting with me, happy to share his English knowledge and tell all about the Fugu fish and other historical facts, he even shared all of his food with me…. This 80 year old man was out with his wife, but did not like her I guess…. Had so much fun with the waitress and with my very old neighbour. So I found this famous chain that has a few restaurants around Tokyo, and luckily also 1 in the area of my hotel in Ginza: Besides that, they offer a menu that was within my Price range, because at the top level prices can be up to 200 euro/dollar for a menu! And this place has a tasting menu of around 70 euro/dollar, so being Dutch, that decided it all for me □ (maybe not smart to take the cheap option when ordering a deadly fish, but hey I survived…). hahahaha Watch the living fish parts at youtube: So when I was in Tokyo, I had to do some searching for the best and safest place to go, since I was not planning of dying in Japan, however, it is a foodie dream to die while eating…. The absolute foodie dream came alive! Every big foodlover, when in Japan, needs to try the dangerous and poisonous Blowfish, or Fugu as they call it locally. ![]()
