Discover Fugu! ~ The New Taste of Japanese Tiger Pufferfish ~
 An assortment of fugu cuisine |
On 1 September, the exclusive event “Discover Fugu! ~ The New Taste of Japanese Tiger Pufferfish ~" was held at Japan Creative Centre (JCC). Co-organised with Japan Aquatic Products Export Council and supported by International Fugu Association and National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Association, a briefing was held in light of the lifting of restrictions with effect from 31 August 2022 to allow the importation of additional pufferfish byproducts from Japan to Singapore, namely famed pufferfish parts such as fins, skin and milt.
Besides the briefing, which explained more about fugu and its history in Japan, guests also sampled dishes made with fugu such as fugu sashimi, sushi and karaage. We hope that with the lifting of restrictions, more people in Singapore can discover and enjoy the unique taste of fugu! (Photos by Benson Yow) |
