So we walked by this a few weeks ago one late night in Tokyo. This is Fugu, the poisonous ass blowfish that is a delicacy here in Japan. Supposedly its toxic enough to nearly kill a person instantly and the chefs who prepare it must be rigorously certified. If think Fugu means something like "pig fish" which makes sense because its ugly as all hell. As for the price of said delicacy, the small plate costs right around 9000 yen (about $90) and the big ass plate at the bottom 20000 yen (about $200). And while Japanese people love it, I watched an Anthony Bourdain special where he tried it and said it didn't taste like anything at all.
