Poisonous pufferfish preparation test passed by girl, 10, in Japan. Chef calls her amazing

A Japanese 10-year-old has become the youngest person authorised to prepare fugu pufferfish – a delicacy that can kill if its poisonous parts are not properly removed.

Karin Tabira passed a test this summer that means she is now certified to slice and gut the fish for consumption.

“I was happy when the governor said oishi,” meaning delicious in Japanese, she told reporters.

Tabira was among 60 people – mostly professional chefs – who passed the test in Yamaguchi region this summer, out of 93 people who tried.
