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.

Makes you wonder who the target audience is for this? Fat dumb Americans that works in a power plant?

“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.

Never had a beer thats done a thing for me. Ciders on the other hand…

Different people have different tastes, and some folks are just not going to like certain flavor profiles.

Within beer though, there is so much variety, I’d be shocked if there wasn’t at least one beer out there that you’d thoroughly enjoy. It’s just not likely worth the effort of finding that one.

Yeah I thought I didn’t like beer because each year on our camping trip I’d try one but it just tasted like piss. Then one time at a work thing my supervisor ordered a black and tan so I got one to and it was pretty good. Turns out I just liked darker beer than all the light beers my friends would get at camping. Then my beer journey started. I also learned beer on tap at a brewery tastes much much better then anything bottled or canned. After getting into beer I pretty much just got into anything fermented like kombucha, ginger beer, kefir etc

Millennial here.

I read zoomers are less likely to use peer pressure to get others to drink. It’s also the reason why so many non-alcoholic beers are out in the market now. Really cool.

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.

AlecSadler ,

The UK doesn’t have real sushi? Like you can’t even buy sushi grade fish from a local mart and try making it yourself?

I always wonder how many times did we try this until we found the edible bit

ABCDE ,

Yeah no thanks.
