Exotic seafood dish.
Relief is so divine.
Last weekend, I broke the news to my cousin and her husband at a conveniently planned dinner night. I have to admit that this had to be one of the most difficult subjects I've ever had to bring up at a dinner table. Thank god they were half buzzed. I explained to them about my future plans and desires: living with my boyfriend in Tokyo. I thought that everything would become awkward with them but ever since, they've been very supportive. They even offered to help me look for a place and move in.
Of course, at first my cousin clung on to me and explained to me the disadvantages of living alone. And I do agree with her that my lifestyle will take a 360. But that's exactly what I want to happen. I may not be ready for it, but I'm willing to try.
With that said, all things are set to go.
I've been searching for eligible apartments and coming up with ideas for possible interior designs. Japanese apartments (especially in Tokyo) are ridiculously confined and insanely expensive. But, the right place will come along surely and decorate it to fit my personality. This probably means that it'll be black and white. haha
Enough about that. I wanted to share a new dish I tried a couple weeks ago. I might have to add that if I ate the whole thing, that would have been a pretty daring gamble.
Ate it sashimi-style, deep fried and broiled.

Not as harmless as you thought, right? So what type of sashimi and fried fish was this?
Here's a clue.
Do you know what it is now?
Yup.
They're pufferfish! Or in Japanese, fugu.
One of the more exotic dishes in Japan. Especially, when you are daring enough to attempt eating any part near the liver for it can be dangerously poisonous. I was lucky enough to only try the safer areas.
It may just be me but I didn't find its taste to be unique since it tasted like any other white meat fish. But just as any white meat fish, it was delish. :3
If you ever have the time, guts, and money, you should really try this dish and brag about it to everyone because I've never seen fugu served anywhere else.
Price: Fit for a king. (6,000~yen / $60~)
Location: Many locations. http://www.torafugu.co.jp/shop/tokyo/

Comment: Something to add in the "things I must do before I die" list. :)

Also no I didn't add the blush to those vintage photos...it was apparently really popular back in the 60s to touch up photos like that!
