Fugu is Japanese for puffer fish. Puffer fish are poisonous; however, in Asia, eating Fugu is considered quite a delicacy. Apparently, the toxic parts are centered in the organs of the puffer fish and, with careful preparation, the meat can be prepared safely.
This plate contains Fugu Sashimi (ie, raw Fugu), delicately arranged like a lotus flower. In Japanese Sushi, the art of preparation is considered as important as the taste. As for the taste? The tempura is pretty decent but the sashimi tastes kind of like whatever you dip it into, lacking much taste of its own.
