17/08/2017 - Guenpin Fugu

Location: 1-13-5 Ginza, Chuo-Ku, Tokyo

It was our first holiday overseas in Japan and we decided to try puffer fish! We were recommended this restaurant and we were advised to book beforehand. If you have the ANZ black credit card, you can use the concierge to help you with the booking.

I was quite apprehensive about eating puffer fish but its once in a lifetime experience, and as the restuarant was recommended to us, it should be quite safe. (and it was, I am still alive!)

We ordered the sets to try and we were pleasantly surprised! See below for the pictures: 


Puffer fish skin and sashimi!

more puffer-fish with too much spring onions imo

Fried pufferfish in the form of popcorn chicken

BBQ pufferfish. The skin is constantly stuck which makes it hard to BBQ. and yes, you have to do it yourself!
Soupy pufferfish. Heaps of veg with just a few pieces of meat.


After that they reused the broth to make the porridge in front of you. (It's not DIY)

You serve yourself come congee with some pickles and seaweed! i had like 3 bowls worth!

Ended off with some ice cream to make it a pretty good meal.
Damage: 165 AUD. It was pretty expensive but considering that it was our first time eating puffer fish. Its a pretty good one. You should at least try it once in your lifetime. See more in the link here (Japanese).
