A Japanese 10-year-old has become the youngest person authorized to prepare “fugu” pufferfish — a delicacy that can kill if its poisonous parts are not properly removed.
Fifth grader Karin Tabira passed a test this summer that means she is now certified to slice and gut the fish for consumption.
She recently used her new skills to serve a platter of paper-thin slices of fugu sashimi to the governor of southern Kumamoto region where she lives.
I’ve had it. I didn’t go out of my way for it–it was served to me as something special.
It doesn’t taste like much. It’s not bad by any means, but not very flavorful.
So worse than like yellow tail.
Yeah, I figured it.
I wouldn’t say that. Sometimes a mild flavor is nice. And yellowtail is not special.
