Oh... and the elephant in the room: Yes, Fugu or Blowfish/Pufferfish has a deadly toxin in it if not prepared correctly. (the poison sac is carefully removed) That's why Fugu chef's are so well trained.
You don't find Fugu much in America as a result. 'Urasawa' in Los Angeles does serve Fugu but they also charge $500+ per guest.
Meanwhile, my meal last night was about $40.

A little more about our wonderful Fugu/Pufferfish meal:
My wife didn't recognize the restaurant at first but I found writing carved in wood that read, "Only Fugu" & a picture of a Pufferfish which told me this was the spot. 😁
The hotpot had a ton of vegetables & lots of Fugu meat which was cooked in a plastic/paper like bowl.
The menu had several set meals: I chose the "Daiso" set which was just enough for me.
Really nice after a rather depressing day.

Last night's dinner in Hiroshima... FUGU! (Pufferfish or blowfish)
A multi-course meal, our Fugu dinner was actually at a chain restaurant called Guenpin that specialized in Tiger Pufferfish:
✅ Tiger Pufferfish skin sashimi
✅ Tiger Pufferfish sashimi
✅ Fried Tiger Pufferfish
✅ Tiger Pufferfish hotpot (collar, head)
✅ Tiger Pufferfish Filet/Shabu ShabuThis was really delicious. Especially the Fried Tiger Pufferfish. I almost ordered an extra plate of that. 😜
