Following on from a story about Tokyo being the best place to eat in the world, The Times are running a story about the joys of eating fugu, the renowned delicacy of delicious puffer fish, which is highly poisonous (25 times more powerful than cyanide in fact) and will kill if prepared incorrectly.

The article goes on to describe the sensation of eating fugu "...something like small, melting pieces of ethereal rubber made by laughing angels, dancing on the tongue and leaving a gently anaesthetic effect on the lips". It also highlights that preparation and presentation are also very important aspects of Japanese cooking.
