Japanese instant noodle giant Nissin Foods released a new pufferfish flavor on June 24.

The “essence” of pufferfish is condensed into a small packet of oil to be added to the soup base, Nissin said in a statement on its website.

Japanese instant noodle giant Nissin Foods released the new pufferfish flavor on June 24, expanding its massive lineup. The noodles sell for a recommended price of 298 yen. A CNN journalist who tried the instant noodles said it tasted of seafood broth and yuzu, a citrus fruit commonly used in Japanese cooking. Fugu generally has a mild flavor, which was not prominent in the dish.

Eating it can cause tingling around the mouth and dizziness, which may be followed by convulsions, respiratory paralysis and death, medical experts say.Death of couple from pufferfish poisoning: Deadly fish not a popular food in Malaysia, says official
