2016.2.9

It was fine but cold today.

February 9 is fugu no hi (ふぐの日), day of blowfish. It is very expensive winter food. There are many ways  to cook, but I like raw fish called tessa (鉄鎖).
In some blowfish restaurants they offer special price for a week around today such as yen 1 for a dish of tessa.
Last year I went to eat the course dinner of blowfish on February 6 with my ex-colleague.
This year I have not made any plan for that yet.

2015.2.9

It was cloudy and very cold.

February 9 is known as fugu no hi (河豚の日), day of blowfish because February 9 is written as 2.9 and pronounce as fu ku.
Fuku (福) means fortune. So fugu restaurants had special campaign to lead fortune by eating blowfish. 
There are many fugu dishes.  One of them is row blowfish called tessa (てっさ) which I like very much.
They offered it for yen 29 which is usually yen1,119.
I went to eat last Friday with my ex-colleague and enjoyed course dinner.
