Good Fugu (blowfish/pufferfish) place in Tokyo

I am planning on visiting Tokyo in Dec. I was wondering if anyone has been to an amazing fugu restaurant in Tokyo for a reasonable price?

Anthony Bourdain provided the most honest review of fugu that I've seen. After tasting the fish in a fugu restaurant, he simply stated that it was remarkably bland.

I've had most of the common fugu dishes in Japan, some in very nice fugu specialty restaurants, and I have to concur with Bourdain's assessment. Still, its an interesting experience and, if you don't drink much alcohol during the meal, you'll probably recognize a mild buzz from the neurotoxin.

Buzz? I thought it is a numbness in the lip, then better stop eating.
