Chapter 36: Sushi & Fugu (Pufferfish) Sashimi in Japan

The salmon in Japan taste slightly different to the ones I’ve had in the UK, it doesn’t have that fatty goodness to it. This was the night were I found a new love for Uni (Sea Urchin), currently my favourite. What was more interesting was the fact that I had the chance try Fugu (Pufferfish), I didn’t expect it to look so delicate and almost see-through (Last Photo). Taste-wise, it was very subtle, close to tasting like nothing, but a little sweet and slightly chewy. When I was in school, one of my teachers told me how there was a myth of when one was to eat Fugu, one would taste when they would die.
