FUGUUUU

Today we had fugu. Met up with Sachiko and then my father and friends and we covered some parts of Ueno before heading for the Fugu resturant. In case you don't know, fugu is a very poisonous blowfish that needs a chef with a special certificate to be able to prepare the delicacies. There are reports of people who try to cut fugu at home and ended up poisioning themselves. Anyway, the resturant we went to sells only fugu dishes and we had a set dinner that cost about 4000yen per person. The first dish is fugu sashimi and fried fugu, followed by a fugu shabu shabu style. When the plate of "raw materials" come, parts of the fish can be seen moving, imagine the freshness of it. The following dish is when they use the soup for the shabu shabu to make fugu porridge followed by ice-cream. Haven't had such a fantastic meal for a long time. Got to thank Sachiko for introducing and my father for bringing us. Anyway, he will be heading back 2 days later. Will be going out to lunch with him before he leaves.
