This was a recommendation from a friend who told me that if I wanted to try the legendary fugu fish, this is where I should go. They do it all different kinds here, but really, I just stopped in quickly to try it because I didn’t want to leave Japan without having done so. I got the raw style and I honestly did not care for it. It tasted kind of like plastic. I love sashimi but this was… meh. Apparently this was a chain but it didn’t feel like a chain. And I’m glad I tried it and lived to tell the tale, but seriously. Meh.

友達から「ふぐは高いけど、美味しくない」と聞いたので、食べにいったことがなかったです。 初めて食べた時はちょっとビックリ！ めっちゃめっちゃ美味しかった!!! If you’d like to try fugu, DO! I’d heard from several friends that fugu is pricy, but actually not that good, so I’d never bothered to try it. Maybe it can be disappointing in some restaurants… but not here! The texture is quite different to other sashimi — so I imagine it might be strange if you’re not a big raw fish fan. If that is the case, just order a bucket of the Fugu karaage– it was beautiful! We tried a course that included fugu served in several different ways: — Fugu skin in a ponzu sauce — Gorgeous fugu sashimi(you sprinkle it with spices and teeny spring onions, roll it and then dunk it in ponzu) — Fugu sashimi sitting on hakusai(chinese cabbage) — Fugu karaage(Oh my goodness, this was the best thing in the world!!) — Sushi — Fugu in nabe 玄品ふぐis a chain, so you can try this all over Japan… but DO try it!
