Fugu | how to prepare the deadly pufferfish as shown by "Uosei" chef Rikizo Okamoto | Tokyo 

Ikr, but you could say that about anything, it took a while to find out what you can or cannot eat

I like to think that they used it for executions but one guy said the poison fish tasted good and thats where they got the idea

Or you know, used it on prisoner

Like mushrooms, for example :)

Any food that has the potential to kill you , I stay away from

coffee beans: yeah, happens to everyone eventually.

Coke leaf: "Oh here we go again, all these defenses to stop being eaten by bugs and animals and the humans get all high instead?"

Nice one. I rarely comment on comments, so consider this special.

Marijuana and poppy seed: finally a Worthy opponents

Mushrooms: our battle will be legendary!

Hey, we went to the Moon thinking it was made of cheese.

that's just human nature. We wanna eat things that hurt and confuse us. Someone looked at rotting grapes and went... yep, i like how those make me feel dizzy. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast? Lets roast those beans and boil those leaves and make it the biggest thing since beer. Why does this chili hurt my mouth? Hey, I got an idea- let's selectively breed them to make em hurt MORE. Hell, we aren't even meant to process lactose past our younger years- some people just had a lotta cheese and got used to a lot a shittin and now a good portion of the population has increase their lactase production prime years. This isn't even to say of the foods you have to prepare a certain way or only eat a part of to avoid it poisoning you- cashews, rhubarb, lima beans elderberries, asparagus... even tomato plants can poison you. humans will eat ANYTHING.

Apparently, small doses of tetrodotoxin numbs your mouth and is intoxicating. I'd rather chew coke leaf than risk my life over this.

The Japanese would eat metal if it swam underwater

I think they would of done test in a lab first to see which part had the cyanide in . Well I hope so .

So true

eatable

@@xphosphor6901 wow i dont know that words exist

😂😂😂Nooo

Yea the one they consider a delicacy the one that can kill you if the outside of the skin touches the meat 🤣

how ironic lol...... *considering Big mac and health*

Well yeah, that's the point ;)

but a big mac isn't really harmful to you if you exercise regularly and don't overeat it a poisonous fish on the other hand, will kill you if not properly prepared no matter what

Oh I know. In fact the person who holds the Guinness record for most Big Macs eaten ever (He eats like 3 Big Macs a day) is actually quite skinny. And many people have proven that they can eat plenty of fast food, but with regular exercise (as well as eating proper food) they can remain in shape. But my comment was meant more to be an ironic observation of how most Americans look at anything foreign :)

rockerseven lmao funny

puppan *Fug-U* Get it? Haaah

puppan thats considered $1.50 in US dollars

Let's Do The Mango Tango 150.00 Euro is equal to 1.50 US?

Mijia Josef nah, the Euro actually is the stronger currency. Not by much anymore, but 1 Euro still is more than 1 US Dollar

puppan what??? All I need is just Cross the street, and catch this fish, that we call, "Baiacú" easy!!!! We trow then away!!!

i didn't understand that either.

i thought the same thing. this sentence spoken is simply retarded.

I have came from Minecraft

_"The hamburger is a junkfood still eaten in America, despite 9/11, hurricanes and gun crimes."_ The relevance and degree of revelation in that line of hers, is about the same as this. If she wanted to deliver more lines, she could- and should have talked more about the facts of the Fugu.

Rock solid question, i thought they were commenting that it's remarkable that the fish isn't extinct, but who knows for sure?

The Simpsons lol

"poison... Poison... Tasty fish!" *Then stabbed the pufferfish*

LOL I’M HERE BECAUSE, OF THAT EPISODE TOO! 😭👏😂

Only Simpson’s fans understand

Fugu NOOOOOO!

Well Japanese..

Hahahhahahahahhahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa No

i think japan tries to limit the amount you can eat, if the population is at a standstill, they'll likely say stop eating them for now

@@kfx3425 Exactly

@@kfx3425 cry about it

Not just the chefs, it's everywhere in Japan. Pristine beauty, man made or natural must be preserved and respected at all costs.

​@@stuartdparnellNo doubt

I like to think that's just a chef who really liked fugu suggesting it as an excuse for a free taster on every shift, aha. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if it's tradition, but it's also not uncommon for chefs to taste food before serving, in this case maybe a double check that it doesn't numb their tongue, so hasn't been contaminated by anything toxic

heh

Simpson’s reference

Lol

Hahah 😂 can you imagine that in real life?

Lmao come on pal FUGU Me

Thank you for the information. I heard that the fish's ovaries are fermented with rice-bran in Ishikawa Prefecture for several years, about 4-7 years, to make it edible.

It's worth noting, the "poison glands" are all the organs. Fugu pufferfish do not make their own poison, they accumulate it from their diet, so it ends up in everything except their muscle tissue. This is partly why fugu poisoning cases vary in severity a lot, not every puffer has had the same diet. Also, you mean the ovaries. Three years of fermentation gets almost all of the poison out, and only certain parts of the Ishikawa prefecture are allowed to prepare it. The ovaries are tested for poison content before they're allowed to be sold. Liver seems to be banned entirely, as there is no safe means of preparation. Doesn't stop some people from ordering it anyway, with fairly predictable results. It's worth noting about half the actual poisonings from fugu are from the liver and ovaries each. The remainder is from the skin. I can't speak as to what proportion of the ovary poisonings are from the fermented Ishikawa dish, and what proportion are just some idiot cooking and eating them, though if the testing is as stringent as I've read it should be entirely the latter.

You're crazy

Then 4 years later @HowYaDoingMon died

@@wolfuii4171 still alive and well

poisonnnn, poisonnnn... tasty fish!

D'oh

I WANT MY FUGU!

Sunny Wu It’s good news!

Don't worry there's a map to the hospital on the back of the menu

Yeah, enjoy that rare Japanese chicken sashimi. :P

There hasn’t been a fugu death for 30 years, you’re fine

@@2kmichaeljordan438 I’m pretty sure poison can still be a concern

@@2kmichaeljordan438 how can you or anyone possibly know that?

@@2kmichaeljordan438 That is not the answer to my question. How can you be sure of something you read on the internet? Spoilers: you can’t

Poison, poison, AH TASTY FISH!

There was also a Columbo episode in 1978 in which someone is deliberately poisoned with fugu.

Howard Glen Did he die from it?

in the simpsons it said that if you eat the poisonous part you can only live for 24 hours then your heart explode but in reality if you ate it you'll be unable to breathe and dies from asphyxiation so yeah the west do have little knowledge about it especially america

Poison fish...tasty fish...poison fish...tasty fish

Alvï I don't recall comment or watch something like that..

Onee- Chan You were probably on some "fugu" lol

박한사 ikr!

박한사 It actually looks like a comfortable pillow :)

Ha yes they do have very ticklable tummies

Well, it makes sense in the context of the sentence that just came before it; there are people out there that look for places that leave small doses of the toxin so they can get the numbing and intoxicating effect. He's saying if you're looking for that, don't bother eating here because we don't do it.

I'd think taste would be slightly more important though

@@simm815 sorta, usually when things are visually appealing you are more likely to try it

Hella

Yeah me too

haha

Spicy Fugu is even better...try it before you turn your back, it's no where's near as fishy as tuna

Josef Young spicy tuna is low quality or expiring tuna with chili added to mask the off flavours.

because contamination?

I mean its not like that one species of puffer fish comes from only the water around Japan. Oh, it dose. And the water has had a nuclear reactor waste water seeping in to it since the tsunami hit the power plant. So in short, cant sell fugu that is also radioactive. And wild fugu has to deal with contaminated water in there environment now.

@@vicegt yeah but that's just for fukushima. the way the narrator grouped earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear disaster sounds like it's to offer insight into how tenacious the Japanese are for eating fugu. Sure, if my house got destroyed by a tsunami I wouldn't exactly eat fugu the next week and it's still a minority of the population that's affected by them. It's a vague, dumb and generic documentary narration that deserves criticism, or the narrator should have just talked about fukushima only. You must have known this when you realized you only responded to nuclear disasters in your reply.

@@sluggie1018 well the tsunami flood waters took all that the reactors cooling water back out with it when it receded in to the ocean around the area.

It is REALLY easy to contaminate fish

Auraaa_ We need people to take risks like this, otherwise we’d never advance as a species. Thank you poison fish eaters.

@You just Ignorant Exploration amd invention, actually.

@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew and likely in the future... There will be a rare species of humans that are resistant or possibly completely immune to pufferfish poison.

Okami Jubei I don’t think that’s how it works

theyre literally dying in the video and you say theyre fat and cute... I dont want to offend you but theres something wrong with the way you think.

Rlack Babbit ya your parents sure are

ueyeyeyeeye ufufue osas yeah oww it hurt they are water puffer

@MOHD FAROOQ they're cute still dead or alive they look cute, you must be so fun irl lmao

Homer ate it, and nothing happened to him!

It's a delicacy, and it's mainly for thrill seekers

its not tasteless

Argax2.0 _ how does it taste? trying this food is on my bucket list

its a delicate fish and usually served raw sometimes its fried, its really good.

Argax2.0 _ your making me drool, I hope I go somewhere that serves it

Mari Kurokawa Alright !

What if you die after you ate this fish, that is a waste, the risky is high

vinh phan Fish will die for me. I'll die because i'll eat it then the chef will die by seppuku !

+Johan Dale I think it's a pretty cool thing but what really fascinates me is how even they say the fish is VERY BLAND which basically makes the risk pretty much worthless. Idk, it's interesting.

Not surprised. Getting an experienced Chef to prepare and the licence for it probably not cheap.

Hahaha 🤣😀😁 best description for Fugu from the simpsons

*definitely

vassilis Thegreek legend said he tryed and died

Tetrodotoxin is a sodium channel blocker. It inhibits the firing of action potentials in neurons by binding to the voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cell membranes and blocking the passage of sodium ions (responsible for the rising phase of an action potential) into the neuron.

nah bro filet o fish

Pufferfish

Pretty sure Big Macs dont give you paralysis

@@Violetenist But they give heart attacks ;)

@@Violetenist no northern puffe

poisonous is different from venomous. You have to ingest poison in order for it to harm you. Touching it does nothing.

Don't be such a wuss. As it is you only live once so make the best of it and try this delicious dish. Plus if it's being handled by professional chefs you'll have nothing to worry about since they have the proper training and experience to safely prepare the dish. It's only if it's being prepared by an unexperienced chef (i.e at home) that will result in the consumer's demise.

Play it safe bro,remember momentary pleasure is never worth it in the long term.

Pufferfish are known to be very aggressive toward human you know? Especially the one that live in river

too delicious to not eat

I'd inflate them and throw them at people.

+shogrran i was hoping for details. and they gave a brief run over of it ...

uh, if you're looking to prepare deadly pufferfish on the back of an instructional video on youtube, don't

Why would you guys want to learn this shit. ya'll disgust me

@@jemimallah2591 no i don't plan to. but i'm curious as to how it's done. i watch videos of people doing tiles on a floor. It doesn't mean I wanna tile my own floor.

We're also eating that in our place. .

the skin is also highly toxic

Chef: For God's sake don't eat another bite! Homer: Oh I couldn't possibly.

JohnnyMidnight1 diet cola, of course! we don't want to heat too many carbs do we?

"DIET COLA? Sorry sir we dont serve poison here."

a fish with lungs?

ill have two number nines, a number nine large. a number six with extra dip. two number forty fives, one with cheese. and a large drink.

No you won't.

Let us know how it was from the afterlife

As a japanese person i can say im not intelligent gorgeous classy or creative in my food prep. But thanks ill tell my mom you love her

Exactly

Fish: "Dude I am literally packed with poison, go eat a crab or something" Japan's fishers in 1900s: "Mm yummy fishe"
