Ramen, Japan

If not tried, you must have heard of Ramen at least once in your life. However, we are not talking about the packaged instant noodles. Ramen is a Japanese dish made of wheat noodles and served in the broth along with vegetables and meat. Ramen comes in several flavours, from tangy to spicy, depending on the flavour of the broth. Every region in Japan has it's own. Tonkotsu, a popular style of ramen includes pork bone broth and the miso ramen, another popular dish originated in Hokkaido.

Common oysters
This is a delicacy for connoisseurs. And then there are "mountain oysters". They have absolutely nothing to do with slippery shellfish. These are the eggs of a wild bull, or even a wild boar. This delicate organ is cleaned, carefully chopped and rolled in flour. Then, you need to fry the "mountain oysters". Not all men, however, readily try this dish. Apparently out of solidarity. But in the USA and Canada it is a very popular snack.

Fugu
Few will surprise anyone, because this poisonous fish has been written about more than once, and many have already tried it. But, we just have to include it on our list. This is a really dangerous product, because fish is poisonous. In a small amount, the toxin tetrodotoxin causes a slight tingling sensation in the extremities, numbness of the tongue. Such a delicious game with death.

If the fugu is prepared incorrectly, then the toxin becomes a deadly poison. A Japanese chef must undergo a very thorough training before carving and serving fugu to guests. Death can occur instantly, and sometimes a person is paralyzed. By the way, one gourmet was paralyzed for 3 days, his heart almost did not beat. He was pronounced dead. The effect of the poison passed suddenly, just before the cremation.

. Rendang, Indonesia

Sushi (Japan)
Sushi

Prepared with vinegared rice and a wide range of ingredients including seafood, vegetables, and sometimes fruits. Sushi tastes best when served with wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy sauce. A popular garnish for this dish is Daikon radish. The type of fish in it defines a sushi's taste. However, the vinegared rice gives the dish a tangy taste overall. Tuna, eel, and Salmon tend to have a light flavour while octopus flavoured sushi is generally strong in taste.
