12 күн бұрынToday Bon Appétit joins Chef Kazuchi Hotta at his restaurant Shunsai Fuku Hotta in Tokyo to observe his mastery of fugu. Fugu, also known as pufferfish, is a seasonal winter delicacy in Japan, however, it contains a deadly poison that must be meticulously worked around and removed during prep. It is a process chefs must train for many years to master to serve it safely.

Likely the same way you would test plants if you were in an extreme survival situation. You'd watch animals and see if they ate the plant and then like you'd take different parts of the plant, smush it up and first try rubbing it on your skin and seeing what happens after some time, then try smushing some and holding it in the bend of your elbow. If you've gotten no reaction, you'd try touching it to your lips then touching it to your tongue then chewing without swallowing and then after hours of that, you'd eat a very small bit and seeing what happens after like 8-12 hours. So say you tried that with fugu. You'd never get to the swallowing stage if you took the fugu liver since the toxins would immediately numb your lips and tongue.

In the West we are masters of industrialisation and mass production, however it has come at the cost of us losing much of our skill and appreciation of hand-crafted arts and trades, including food production, however in Japan they have maintained their reverence for the skills of the hand and respect for the importance of pleasing the eye, to nourish the soul.
@DangerSquiggles 8 күн бұрын
There are more than enough artisans in western countries who make very exclusive and traditional products. Like many of these japanese artisans, they create luxury products for prestige more than anything else, and most people will never be able (or willing) to consume these products.

Ugh, the comments are just :/. Fugu isn't for everyone to cook that's why this video has trained veteran fugu chef to show you there's a complex process to serve fugu, it's a delicacy not for everyday supper like Michelin fancy restaurant. Click the CC button and read, some of you just won't try. You don't want to? Yeah, just pass. Get a life.
