If you thought eating fugu was scary, just wait ’til you try its milt.
Even the most adventurous of foodies will draw a line at some point, and for our reporter Seiji Nakazawa, that line has always been pufferfish, or “fugu” as it’s known in Japan.
You see, Seiji has always been afraid of eating pufferfish, which, when you think about it, isn’t that unusual, given that you can die if the poisonous parts of the fish haven’t been properly removed by an experienced chef.
So Seiji found himself in an odd situation the other day, when he found himself with a plate of fugu in front of him. Only this time, it wasn’t the flesh of the fish staring him in the face, but its semen.
▼ Seiji’s fugu adventure took place at Kanazawa Maimon Sushi, on the restaurant floor of Parco ya in Tokyo.
