Pop Japan

Fugu is the Japanese name for the famous spikey sea creature called the Blowfish. This is a delicacy in Japan; however, it is highly toxic -- more toxic than cyanide, in fact -- because of the poison present in its body. Even the chef preparing the fugu meal is at risk if he does one step wrong. The blowfish is an expensive delicacy in Japan and the restaurants that serve it are among the finest in the country. In case you were wondering which parts are poisonous, it's the ovaries, liver, and intestines.
