You can find a lot of amazing food in Japan. For those in Tokyo, they will find themselves inundated with all sorts of food to choose from. However, just because this city is known for its food, doesn't mean that everything is good. Here's some foods that you should avoid in Tokyo unless you are very adventurous.

Dancing Squid

This dish doesn't feature any live food (don't worry though, because there is another dish on the list that fits that bill!), but it does look like something is moving on your plate. What happens is that when you pour soy sauce over it, the squid looks like it's moving around. However, that's because the muscles are reacting to the salt and not because it is actually still alive.

Natto

If smells really bother you, then this definitely isn't the dish for you. Natto is quite popular in Japan and is made with fermented soy beans. It has a very strong flavor and even stronger smell that is similar to a stinky cheese. If you are sitting in a restaurant and smell something awful, it may just be Natto that you are smelling.

Fugu

While this dish can be delicious, it can also be deadly. Fugu is a poisonous puffer fish that must be prepared properly in order for it to be safe to eat. A qualified chef has to remove the fish's organs and skin as both of these are extremely toxic. Fugu is considered to be one of the Earth's most dangerous dishes to eat.

Hormone

If you want to know exactly what you are eating, don't order "Hormone" on the menu. It's just supposed to be animal intestines, but as appetizing as that sounds, it's not uncommon for chefs to throw in all sorts of other organs into the mix. The result is a bunch of indistinguishable meats thrown into some sort of thick sauce.

Shirouo No Odorigui

Remember how I mentioned earlier that there would be a dish that features live food, well this is it. Shirouo no Odorigui is made using small, transparent fish that are basically just thrown onto your plate. It's commonly served with eggs and bacon. Yes, you are supposed to actually eat these fish alive and you can feel them wiggling around in your mouth before you swallow them. Some Japanese also like to drink a cup of vinegar in the morning with these tiny fish swimming around in it.
