Before coming to Japan, I had heard about the Fugu fish. It's considered a delicacy despite being extremely poisonous. If the fish is not prepared properly, it can be fatal. This tank was facing the street making it clear what this shop is known for.
This is also a good example of the Japanese preference for freshness. Most high-end restaurants I have encountered that serve fish have a tank where the special fish of the day is displayed, and for the right price one of those fish can be killed, prepared, and served to you in a manner of minutes. To my knowledge this practice is extended to other animals in parts of China.
