I have several good friends on the net and they have had a party at the beginning of the year for these last 10 years. January 22nd was the day of the party. The place for the party was the same as usual, Yokaro. This restaurant looked shabby, but the dishes were great. The chef's speciality was fugu, the fish which looked like a balloon, and had some poison in its organs. Cooks who deal with fugu are required to have a license because the fugu is poisonous, but fugu is delicious.
I almost forgot to write about the combination of fugu and Japanese sake. They match well. You can see hirezake everywhere in Japan in winter, which is a cup of Japanese hot sake with floating dried and roasted caudal fin of fugu. It warms us very much. If you have a chance to visit Japan in winter, be sure to enjoy fugu. I'm so sorry to show you pictures of fugu.
