Five Japanese men have became sick after eating poisonous puffer fish, an official says, the latest victims of a delicacy seen as sophisticated by fans and crazy by others.
The men, all in their 40s and 50s, dined at a restaurant in western Wakayama city on Friday night, the city's health official said.
They were taken ill early the next day, experiencing breathing difficulties and vomiting, the official said.
"They consumed a dinner that included liver, which is regarded as toxic material," she said.
The city shut down the establishment for five days from Sunday, she said.
The restaurant served the banned, poisonous parts after requests from the diners, the official said.
The livers, ovaries and skin, among other parts, of the puffer fish - also known as the blowfish or "fugu" in Japanese - contain toxins powerful enough to kill an adult, in the worst case scenario.
Aficionados say the tingle that the organs leave on your lips - caused by the potent neurotoxin they contain - is part of the appeal.

A 41-year-old man died after falling about 10 meters from a pillar put up for a festival at the Suwa Taisha grand Shinto shrine in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, central Japan, police said Friday.
At around 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Yukihiro Kusakabe, a self-employed man from Suwa, fell from one of the huge fir trunks that he and other participants erected as vertical pillars during the Onbashira Festival, which is held once in six years. Kusakabe fell onto the roof of heavy machinery equipment 10 meters below when he climbed one of the pillars to clear ropes used to erect it.
In the festival, which runs from April 2 through May 16 this year, parishioners work together to transport trees weighing about 10 tons from a nearby mountain and put them up as pillars. During the previous festival in 2010, two male participants also died after falling from pillars.
According to a witness, Kusakabe was not wearing a safety rope, even though such security measures were adopted after the 2010 accident.
The police began inspecting the site Friday morning and investigating the cause of the accident.
