10-year-old girl in Japan becomes youngest person certified to prepare poisonous pufferfish — a delicacy that can be deadly

A Japanese 10-year-old has become the youngest person authorized to prepare “fugu” pufferfish — a delicacy that can kill if its poisonous parts are not properly removed.

Fifth grader Karin Tabira passed a test this summer that means she is now certified to slice and gut the fish for consumption.

She recently used her new skills to serve a platter of paper-thin slices of fugu sashimi to the governor of southern Kumamoto region where she lives.

Oh, wow. I can’t imagine having knife skills that precise. I’ve looked into this; what you actually need to do to prepare the fish isn’t actually difficult- there are only two organs that need to be removed without puncturing them.

But you still need a steady hand and incredible precision to remove those parts 100% consistently, frankly slicing the fish into ‘paper thin’ sheets would be 10x more difficult- just, if you fuck up a paper thin cut then it’s still fine and edible. Managing to pull off that sort of presentation technique is a really good indicator that this girl is the real deal- if she can make those paper thin slices, she can remove the poisons in her sleep.

I would love to try real sushi one day, but alas. I live in the UK. Best I can do is homemade with stuff from the supermarket.

Thanks!

That’s exactly why I was looking at these comments.

Sounds like it’s essentially the same process you’d use for any other fish, except for the potential consequences of a mistake.

Yeah no thanks.

“Would you like some of this delicios puffer fish? It could very possibly kill you.”

“No.”

“What if I told you it was also super expensive?”

“NO!”

“What if I told you it was prepared by a 10-year-old?”

“NO!”

Sounds similar to people trying to get me into alcohol, never liked it much, but everyone always keeps pushing it as if I need to “learn” to drink it.

Fucking no. It’s disgusting. I like my occasional light alcohol drink but I ain’t chug down litres and piss it, and my money, away because it’s “cool”.

Different kinds of alcohol is just different flavours of hand sanitiser.

I’m fine with some alcohol, but some people are like that specifically with beer with me.

I just don’t care for it. I keep getting the “you just haven’t had the right kind of beer!” line and then I try their suggested beer and I do not like it.

Some people can’t accept that you just don’t like the taste of something they enjoy. But it happens in weird ways. No one tells me I just haven’t had the right banana yet when I tell them I don’t like bananas.
