Eating EXTREMELY Poisonous Fugu(Puffer Fish) in Osaka Japan 

Just responding to some of the comments...no this was not my fav meal but was a fun experience. No there was no tingling sensation because I think you need to request that from the chef(if they will even do it) because they have to intentionally leave some poison on the fish that your eating. The fish they serve here are not from farms so they were poisonous before served to you. I mentioned this was my last day again because this video was filmed in the evening. I also filmed in the morning. ANYWHOOOOOO I can still taste the slimy skin and unfortunately that will stay with me for the rest of my life...oh and BTW apparently the poison used to assassinate Kim Jung Nam was from a puffer fish so.....yea.

What I wanna know is who the mad genius was that kept messing around with the puffer fish until he found the part that could be eaten without dying.

I've tried fugu three times and each time I don't remember much... cause as Mike said, it has little flavor. But I do remember it being randomly chewy with unexpected large bones in it. It's not that it's bad, but just not too memorable....and really expensive.....and you could die.

Sounds like it's popular because it tastes like danger.

Fugu eating video starts with "this is my last day in Japan"

1:53 " I see some scallions in here" Shows bowl filled like 75% with scallions LOL

Thank you for being our guinea pig Mike! I'm now officially no longer curious about trying fugu 😅

I like the fact that you give honest opinions instead of other shitty youtubers that fake their reactions

finally some back story on Ms.Puffs husband

So basically it's disgusting and it might poison you.

WHAT? NO HOT OIL? No wonder you really didnt like it.

Seems like he's been on his "Last day in Japan" for the last 3-4 videos... Must have eaten A LOT that last day xD

not sure if you know or not Mike, but most fugu is now farmed which means they're way way less poisonous than cyanide as they dont eat the algae that makes them poisonous in the first place

i like how you actually review the food, and don't just say "it's good" like a lot of reviewers

best youtouber

I had fugu in a very expensive hotel in Yokohama, and it was bland and tough. it was on my food bucket list, and even though afterwards my tongue and lips felt a little tingly; it was a completely unremarkable experience and one I don't really care to repeat. give me some nice hamachi or uni over fugu anytime

Dolphins have been observed chewing on puffer fish, then then passing them around to other dolphins. Apparently they use them to get high. Don't bogart that puffer fish!!

*coughs* OMG DID I JUST GET POISONED

I'm new, and I've been watching your videos 5hrs straight... Best channel ever

tldr: Fugu is overrated

If I ever go to Japan I'm going to watch these videos again to eat all the amazing food you got to eat!

1:33 the menu actually says "none poisoning accident occurred here until now".

Dude I LOVE your videos. Your Japan tour is actually what got me hooked on your channel! Keep it up! c: I am always excited for what you have in store next for food to eat! I hope you keep doing this for years in the future!

AGAIN !! LOVE YOUR HONESTY!! THANKS for taking me along in this journey ❤️

I'll feed this to my ex

to die for? lol

This is the Best ive seen on Strictly Dumpling, LOL throughout the whole video. Glad to see you're still alive.

You explained each course very well! I still have no desire to try Fugu, but it was fun living vicariously through you :)

I've always wanted to try puffer fish but not that common in the US

How hungry were the first people to eat fugu? "Oh, it's deadly poison, it killed my pal--let's eat!"

Just found your videos today. You've earned a new subscriber from Canada, cheers!

wow mikey chan im a huge fan of your beyond science channel and i didnt know you had more channels and its good to know... youre awesome man... keep up the good work... ive been watching beyond science for years but did not know about your other channels... make sure you shout out your other channels in every channel you have dude... trust me

Love this guy, found him from Beyond Science and seeing that he has this channel as well is awesome. Mike you are such a loveable person and watching you on your travels is really relaxing and opening my eyes to Japans amazing culture! I WANT TO GO TO JAPAN SO BAD NOW lol

3:23 ''You gotte chew this sucker'' Wtf? xDD

Excellent review. I've always wondered what it tasted like. I appreciate your description of the texture. Thanks for sharing!

This was a great trip. Thanks for sharing with us, Mike.

This fish scares me!

Did your lips tingle at all? A lot of people say they experience a little numbness or tingling after eating fugu.

I love how honest you are. Trying a world famous delicacy that is near impossible to prepare, and you're still telling it like it is, and letting us know when it did not impress you.

I love you and all of your videos! :D Big fan

That first cough though, you thought you were poisoned xD

I had tora-fugu tei(tiger blowfish) the full set twice in Yokosuka, loved it.

I love your straight forward approach.your videos amazing!!!

i swear every single video of japanese dishes you have uploaded for the past week or two made me hungry and satisfied

I had fugu sashimi in Osaka before and it tasted like a combination of squid and fish texture=) I love the taste especially when dipped in ponzu sauce. It is interesting to see how different ways of cooking fugu can have different texture!

yay! I recently watched a documentary on fugu!

Enjoyed the vid!

I really like that you overcame your concerns and tried the raw ones! :)

so for those that say he says he likes everything, he clearly doesn't

Poison, poison, poison ahh tasty fish

Love your Videos! family friendly and a joy to watch!

Mikey! You're so pleasant to watch. Keep on keeping on!

When are you testing the Japanese McDonald's

Finaly a food that you didnt enjoy, loved those reactions!!

love your videos. keep the good work!

Thank you mikey! im tired of this "food shows" just saying it is good/decent. You, you speak the truth you actually try to give a description on what you are eating. Im so glad i found you when i did XD

he's lowkey scared for real lol

I ate here!!! Loved the tempura fugu!

Yayy I've been waiting for your video :D

Interesting. Well I had no intention of ever trying fugu before. I was curious about the taste. It looks intriguing and now I am 100% next time in Tokyo going to try fugu at this very restaurant. Great video mike!

You missed the Fugu Hire-zake (鰭酒- fin sake) which is hot sake into which a charcoal-broiled piece of puffer fish fin is soaked into. You obviously don't eat the fin. The sake is absolutely delicious and you tend to ask for refills, i.e. if you enjoy the peculiar smokey fragrance and taste. Definitely worth trying!!! :-)

As Homer Simpson Would Say! Fan Fugu Tastic!👍

Hi I'm Glad you are still alive. I've never had Fugu but I probably would taste it if I would have a change to go to the right place. :)

Woah! I'm going to Osaka in April,and I'm DEFINITELY testing this out! Great video!

doesn't taste good they why risk life when there are hundreds of thousands of things to eat...

"its my last day in Japan" me: at least you got to go to japan

Wow, this is one of the rarest time I see an honest review/commentary. If he doesn't like something, he will come out and say it. He won't mince words or talk any kind of nonsense. Great

ily my fav youtuber keep it up

Not the poison aspect, but it just didn't seem...good. It was a 50/50 meal for Mike, who didn't even get full.

Also, broccoli is the only other vegetable, besides carrots, that I actually like

Fun to see your experience with this and I think you maybe are expressing a more honest reaction than I saw with Anthony Bourdain. If you haven't seen his experience with fugu check out A Cook's Tour S1 E2. It is the last bit of the show. He was also underwhelmed by the taste and decided it was more baddass points than culinary loveliness.

really enjoy watching these videos

I'm not eating at a restaurant that I have to worry about weather or not I'm going to leave the restaurant alive.

taste like rubber band?

the most adventurous and the best food review channel on youtube.

Omg, I've eaten there before! It was absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your experience. It brought back so many great memories.

From this video I feel like it's not worth trying. The majority of textures you described are ones I don't like. Thankyou for trying things for us :D

He said ball of snot and I dead ass thought he said ballsack.

My physiology professor in college introduced me to this concept and it was really interesting, so here I am now.

I really enjoy your reactions to the food. LOL

So basically your telling us Fugu is gross, and it's poisonous for a reason. lol

Mike you should have been the new host to Man Vs Food.

The Ice cream looked good ! Thanks for the demo on the Fugu.

your video have RE-ignited the fire I have to go to Japan! maybe one day. piece buddy

I love broccoli 😋😊

That really didn't look appetising. I don't think people would give it the light of day if there wasn't the novelty of dying horribly

"Hello everyone, this is my last day in Japan" .... Very accurate man lol

"oh my god, did i just get poison. my voice has change. " LOL MIke is so funny

Is this guy from beyond science? If you're then hiya senpai

It's good to see some good he doesn't like

"Omg. Did I just get poisoned." hahaha

"Dip it in a little bit" (ends up dipping the whole thing)

"a little bit of the sauce" *proceed to soak it*

thank you .. i will never eat fugu :D

Bro u are the best your videos are very intertaining

my friend wants to eat this when we come to japan, we'll definitely check this place out!! Thanks (:

had to like for the dad joke portion of the video... I mean, don't we all need more dad jokes & bad puns to make us jump out the window..?

I laughed when you mentioned you'd never ate raw fish before.. and you waited to try it with fugu of all the choices!! I hope you will try more raw fish in the future - I believe you would be a huge fan of fatty tuna's flavor!

Enjoy your videos thanks man

I’ve always been against trying this but now I’m curious about trying it. Thank you for taking that fear away for me.
