10-year-old girl in Japan becomes youngest person certified to prepare poisonous pufferfish — a delicacy that can be deadly - eviltoast
Fifth grader Karin Tabira passed a test that means she is now certified to slice and gut the poisonous fish for consumption.

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

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

She recently used her new skills to serve a platter of paper-thin slices of fugu sashimi to the governor of southern Kumamoto region where she lives.

    it didn’t actually say she did that as a job. this is more like when a teenager gets their pilot licence, it sounds like. a difficult goal that they set and achieved at an early age. it’s literally just a license that says she passed a test of skill.

    this isn’t necessity about labor at all. it’s about someone being really good at what the do. idk about you, but I’d rather still see sushi chefs that are skilled like this in a post capitalist society.
