Ever heard of Fugu? Maybe its is famous as poisoned fish. Akita is famous for tasty fugu. Fugu living in the northern part of Japan grow very slowly since the temperature is low. Instead the body becomes strong and meat is tasty.
From the Akita Port, you can even walk to the restaurant for Fugu lunch. There are limited number of special menu so that please ask the staff before going to the restaurant.
