Kamon Wharf

Outside the aquarium is an area filled with restaurants and souvenier stores. We found a street performer that was doing some amazing stunts with no crash pad below!

The Shimonoseki strait has some of the most turbulent currents in the world (according to the aquarium brochure). The area is known around Japan for its blowfish. So we just had to try it while we were down there.

Check out our feasts!

We had raw blowfish, fried blowfish, blowfish fritters, tempura blowfish, sauteed blowfish in a sesame salad, boiled blowfish in a soft-boiled egg. Blowfish in every possible way!

So yummy!

And we're still alive! Our chef must have sliced it just right...
