My tongue didn't tingle even a little bit--contrary to what I'd been led to expect. I wonder if they used a farm-raised fugu with a non-poisonous liver. They didn't serve the liver, but even other parts of the fish are supposed to impart a little bit of a tingling due to trace amounts of the toxin. I had Fugu in Tokyo in February.
