Fun Things to do in Japan 河豚 ふぐ (Fugu Dinner) - 04

http://www.blueblankyproductions.com (Visit here for discussions on Japan, and pre-views of future videos).

Misato, her parents and I went out for Fugu Dinner! It was a memorable event, and definitely one of the fun (if a little pricey!) things to do in Japan.

Be sure to hit the High Quality button -- it looks a heck of a lot better.

Here is a website of the FUGU restaurants in Usuki: http://www.usuki-fugu.com/

Thanks to Misato and her folks, and thanks to Jesse for his helpful suggestions (http://www.youtube.com/user/jesserai)

May I suggest...did you mean shumai instead of shunmai?

[Posatrocible]

jojosmojojo: That is absolutely right! Yes, I misheard Misato and typed in the wrong thing. Thanks for catching it!

Please delete this movie as soon as possible.

If Japanese Government identifies this movie, shop "mitsugo" that you ate globefish becomes the suspension of business, and it is the situation that cannot eat the globefish dish of other Japanese restaurants at all.

gionoikake: Heya, you should really share what you are smoking with the rest of us. =D

I appreciate your comment and sentiment, but I have it on good authority that your information is incorrect. There is no harm serving Fugu at licensed fugu restaurants. Besides, if there was any truth to it, I don't think the web site usuki-fugudotcom would exist. (Please click on the link listed in the "more info" area to see advertisements for Mitsugo and many other fugu restaurants in Usuki).

Hi Matt !

Great video :)

I almost sure I went to this restaurant in Usuki with my Furansu-go Kurabu 'grandmas' when I was living in Oita, because I ate exactely the same menu !

My favourite one is the Fugu Karaage though, the only one psychologically safe for me, hehe !

You have such a nice family-in-law ! Hope all is well in Oita !

[Posatrocible]

Kyaroita: Heya, great to hear from you! Hehe... I understand what you mean about "psychologically safe"!

It looks like you love Rock Band! I want to try someday.

How did you end up an english teacher in Japan? Im about to start my MA in TESOL and I would like to be like you, live in another country and work

[truescool]

I WANT FUGU!!

[EnvySmash]

Pretty high yes. I am going to take a wild guess its either for the price of the fish OR to prevent legions of people eating the stuff since is CAN be deadly.

$100 to $300?!
