These fish are part of the Tetraodontidae and Diodontidae family of fish, known for their ability to intake a large quantity of water and \u201cblow up\u201d in order to deter predators. They eat starfish, mollusks, snails and other sea creatures that contain vibrio bacteria, which creates tetrodotoxin, and poison from these creatures becomes concentrated and stored in the liver, reproductive organs, intestines and skin of the fish.<\/p>\n<p>The concentrated poison found in <em>fugu<\/em> is called tetrodotoxin and is 1,000 times more toxic than cyanide. It is flavorless, odorless, heat stable and deadly in incredibly small amounts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that \u201cthe consumption of toxic amounts of tetrodotoxin results primarily in neurologic and gastrointestinal signs and symptoms. In severe poisoning, dysrhythmia, hypotension, and even death might occur. If a rapid onset of one of the following neurologic and gastrointestinal signs or symptoms occurs, the clinical description for tetrodotoxin poisoning has been met: 1) oral paresthesias (might progress to include the arms and legs), 2) cranial nerve dysfunction, 3) weakness (might progress to paralysis), or 4) nausea or vomiting.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3346\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3346\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3346 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/fugu2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3346\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A small <em>fugu<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And there is no antidote.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan along with trained and licensed chefs know how to prepare <em>fugu\u2019s<\/em> many delicious parts. The Ministry publishes regulations governing the sale and preparation of 22 of the hundreds of species of <em>fugu<\/em> for all of Japan, and even controls the export of <em>fugu<\/em> to other countries like the United States. Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi Prefecture is the main distribution center for <em>fugu<\/em> as it is shipped throughout Japan and the world.<\/p>\n<p><em>Fugu<\/em> is typically enjoyed in winter, when the fish have fattened up to brave the cold waters surrounding Japan. <em>Torafugu<\/em>, the most commonly enjoyed variety of the fish, is generally served as paper-thin, translucent slices of sashimi, arranged in the shape of a chrysanthemum and garnished with <em>daikon<\/em> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/?p=2203\">negi<\/a><\/em><\/span> onions and dipped in <em>ponzu<\/em> sauce.

Archaeological excavations from the Jomon culture (10,500 \u2013 300 BC) have unearthed <em>fugu<\/em> teeth fossils from midden heaps. The first restrictions on <em>fugu<\/em> consumption arose during the Sengoku period (1467-1603 AD), when the warlord Hideyoshi Toyotomi prohibited eating the fish in order to prevent his troops from being poisoned. During subsequent periods in Japan\u2019s history, the fish was either enjoyed publicly or banned and eaten in secret. <em>Fugu<\/em> is one of the few foods the Emperor of Japan is strictly prohibited from eating. Today, aquaculturists have begun experimental farming to develop potentially toxin-free species of <em>fugu<\/em>, in order to enable more people to enjoy it, without worrying about the poisonous livers and eggs, parts said to be especially delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Today, gourmet <em>torafugu<\/em> is enjoyed at restaurants at the cost of around US$200 per entr\u00e9e! Chefs are trained for three years and must pass an exam in order to be allowed to prepare <em>fugu<\/em>. More reasonably priced <em>mafugu<\/em> can be purchased at fish markets by licensed buyers, who then sell it to the general public in supermarkets.<\/p>\n<p>Would you eat <em>fugu<\/em>?
